The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Dōkyūsei (同級生; lit. Classmates) is an erotic dating sim visual novel. Originally released in 1992 by ELF Corporation for the PC-98, it became a foundational title in the dating sim genre and spawned a video game series. A heavily altered 1999 Windows port was the basis of a 2021 remake, which received English and Chinese releases in 2022. A Game Boy Color mahjong game with Dōkyūsei characters, Jankyusei (雀級生), was released in 2001. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
