The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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.

What happens

The Satria Dewa Universe (SDU) (Indonesian: Satria Dewa Semesta; lit. 'Kshatriya Deva Universe') is a live action media franchise of Indonesian superheroes adapted from Indonesian wayang stories from the Bhāratayuddha, a version of the ancient Indian epic Mahabharata, as modern interpretations of those characters. There are eight films planned in this series which depict the descendants of the Pandavas (and the Kaurava antagonists), including Gatotkaca (2022), Arjuna (2023), Srikandi (2024), Kurusetra (2025), Yudhistira (2026), Bima (2027), Bharatayudha (2028) and Bharatayudha II (2029). Two films initially included in the series Nakula and Sadewa and Heroine were subsequently cancelled. On August 26, 2019, Erick Thohir and Wishnutama were announced as shareholders of Satria Dewa. The series has also been adapted for comics and merchandise. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
