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.

How it feels

A kind but stubborn man repeatedly fails in business and considers suicide. He decides to make a comeback by selling books on installments, does good deeds with poor results, and takes in an orphan. He falls in love with a millionaire's daughter and uses his PR skills to win her father's approval for marriage, but ultimately realizes he does not fit in the elite corporate world and leaves Seoul alone.
