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 young actress helps a friend who is wanted for murder and goes undercover in a theater troupe to find the real killer. She must navigate lies and suspicious characters to clear his name.
