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 writer struggling with a commissioned erotic novel discovers a hole in his rundown apartment that lets him see into a vacant room. He starts imagining a young woman moving in and writes based on that fantasy. When a woman actually moves into the room, he becomes obsessed with watching her.
