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 veteran British intelligence officer with a pragmatic and rebellious streak navigates the double-dealing world of espionage. When his superiors plan to sacrifice him as a pawn in a larger Cold War scheme, he must use his wits to survive and outmaneuver both his own agency and enemy agents.
