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
Two detective characters solve cases in a series of short animated films. The show is a playful parody of a classic Soviet TV series.

What happens
Investigation Led by Kolobki (Russian: Следствие ведут Колобки, also Investigation Led by Kolobki, translit. Sledstvie vedut kolobki) is a series of Soviet animated shorts by Alexander Tatarsky and Igor Kovalyov that were produced from 1986 to 1987. The first two shorts were produced by Soyuztelefilm in 1986, whereas the third and fourth shorts were produced by Studio Ekran in 1987. After the shorts were released, the Pilot Brothers duo came to be heavily used by Tatarskiy's studio, Pilot TV, particularly in the series The Fruttis Attic (Russian: Чердачок Фруттис) and The Academy of Our Mistaks (Russian: Академия собственных Ашибок) [sic]. The name of the series of shorts is a pun on a once-popular Soviet television series Investigation Led by Experts. On August 9, 2018, a version of the cartoon with English dubbing was posted on the Gosteleradiofond YouTube channel. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
