The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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 rough, awkwardly assembled rpg-adventure whose clumsy execution and odd systems make it feel more like a curious misfire than a polished journey.

About

An infamous kusoge released in Japan for the PlayStation 2. Kamishiro Gakuen Maboroshi Kouroku Kuru NuGiA, often just shortened to "Nugya", is about a story that unfolds in both modern times and the Taisho era, surrounding the "Kamiyori" that occurs once every 100 years in the town of Jindai. The main characters, one in the modern era and one in the Taisho era, both help to fight against demons. Battles are turn-based, including a system in which you can use interchangeable skills. There is a "feeling system" that responds with "joy, anger, sadness, or pleasure" depending on the situation, but it has almost no relationship with the progress of the main game.
