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 boy lives with his family in a thick forest of giant trees. A moon guardian that looks like a squirrel tells him the moon is stuck high in a tree to the far East, so the boy and the squirrel set off through the dark forest to find it and set it free.
