Question for clergy - On idolatry in video games

Hypothetically speaking, if someone were to play a video game in which their character could pray to statues at the input of the player, would this be idolatry?

Who or what do the statues depict?

It would depend on the game.

For example in the game Ghost of Tsushima you can pray at statues and shrines to the 'kami' for unlockables.

This is fiction...fantasy. It is no more idolatry than an actor of film or stage engaging in the same behaviour. It is called pretense.

Now, of course, Tradistan has very many Tradiban who do not understand pretense because they lack Logos. Caveat peregrinator!
