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 old man lives a strange isolated life driven by a longing for his dead mother. He watches women from the forest and stores trophies in a tin box. But his routine is disrupted when a figure in a gas mask enters his territory.
