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
An unknown event knocks out all power worldwide and kills most people. Only a small region in Eastern Europe survives. A team of soldiers and scientists there must figure out what caused the blackout and how to stop it from destroying the rest of humanity.
