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

In 2058, mankind uses comets to fuel spaceships that travel to other solar systems. The journey is so fast that it kills all adult passengers, so the ships carry only frozen eggs and sperm. One such ship heads to Ozma, carrying the Robinson family's potential children and humanity's hopes.
