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 group of strangers gather in an apartment after responding to an ad that promises to clear their debts. They are forced into a voting game where each day they choose one person to take on everyone's debt.

What happens

『ヒトリマケ』は、2008年公開の四季涼監督による日本映画。 「あなたの借金、チャラにします！ただし先着5人まで！！」この広告に釣られてサイトにアクセスし、つながった者たちはとあるマンションの一室に集められる。 そこで明らかにされた「借金をチャラにする方法」とは「ヒトリマケ」という投票ゲームであった。 1日1回「誰に借金を背負わせたいか」を一斉に投票し、6人中5人の答えが一致した場合、その5票入れられた人が全員の借金を背負うというルール。期間は4日間。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
