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.

About

Konami's PlayStation 2 Kappa adventure game, based on the TV anime of the same name. The story takes places in Showa 40 and follows the story of a young boy named Hiroshi, who's forced to spend his summer at his grandparent's house. Hiroshi's grandparents have these green, prank-prone creatures called Kappas, and you earn your keep by raising them -- teaching them manners, guiding them and so-forth.
