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

A 3D fighting game developed by DreamFactory that was slated to hit arcades in 2005 but was subsequently cancelled before launch, even though it had arcade location tests in Japan near the end of 2004 and in january 2005. It resurfaced years later and got a homebrew port for the Sega Dreamcast in 2021 alongside many other games for the Atomiswave.
