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 cruel nobleman fires all his elderly workers except one thresher who cannot manage the work alone. A strange old journeyman appears and offers to help for only what he can carry on his back, but he is actually the devil who takes everything including the nobleman.
