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 family on vacation rents a remote house, but their getaway is interrupted by a mysterious blackout and the arrival of the homeowners. As technology fails and strange events unfold, both families struggle to understand what is happening and whether they can trust each other.
