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 film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A man from a formerly wealthy family struggles with his inability to say no to villagers who ask for money and favors, even as he faces his own financial ruin. He tries to keep up his generous reputation despite his looming bankruptcy.
