The catalog in 3D
The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A cheerful cartoon horse-racing adventure that plays more like an interactive story than a simulation, putting you directly in the saddle while a heartfelt tale of a boy and his horse unfolds between races.

About
Jockey Zero is a cartoon-style derby horse-racing game with a focus on direct control in the races. The player is cast as a young boy who dreams of winning the Japan Derby with a horse raised by his father, and who has the curious ability to converse with horses. Unlike most derby games, the focus is entirely on the racing and story, with virtually no simulation or training elements present. The player controls the jockey directly during races, and visual novel-style sequences tell the story between races. There are six different tracks to race on, and over 50 story events that can occur.
