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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
Players use their telephones to control Hugo through a jungle island and defeat an evil witch for prizes. It is an updated version of the original children's game show from the 1990s.

What happens
Hugo: Jungle Island was an interactive television program that was created as an improved replacement of the early 1990s' original children's game show in the Hugo franchise. It was launched by ITE Media in Denmark as Hugo Vulkanøen ("Hugo: Volcanic") in January 1999, before being licensed to and broadcast in many other countries, usually simply just as Hugo. As in the original program, the players would remotely control the titular video game character by using their telephones, trying to help him reach and defeat an evil witch and win real-world prizes. Its gameplay was adapted into four PC video game releases. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
