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

Crash: Mind Over Mutant is the sequel to Crash of the Titans and the seventh Crash Bandicoot series game. The game uses many of the same mechanics as its predecessor with a few changes. Rather than having twenty linear platforming levels to complete in sequence, Mind Over Mutant features eight distinct locations for Crash to explore and travel between as the story progresses. The player can complete missions given by non-playable characters and discover collectibles through the levels.
