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 solitary man is stranded on a tiny island with nothing but a palm tree and a scrap of land. He tries various ways to escape or signal for help, but each attempt meets with absurd and frustrating results.
