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

On a peaceful planet in the Andromeda galaxy, Prince Itaka and Princess Lilia are about to marry and rule. They discover a mysterious object in the sky that turns out to be an alien mechanical civilization that invades and enslaves most of the population. The queen gives birth to twins who are separated at birth, and the story follows them as they grow up and discover their powers are the key to fighting the invaders.
