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

Far Cry Primal is a first-person action game set in 10,000 BC during the transition from the Upper Paleolithic to the Mesolithic period. As part of the Far Cry series, it replaces modern firearms with prehistoric weapons including spears, clubs, and bows. Players take the role of Takkar, a Wenja tribesman who can tame wild animals such as sabertooth cats and wolves to use as companions in combat. The open world takes place in the fictional Oros valley and features a day-night cycle with dynamic wildlife behavior, tribal warfare, and resource crafting. The game's characters speak a constructed language based on reconstructed Proto-Indo-European.
