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
A group of contestants are placed in a fictional small town to solve a murder mystery. Each week one contestant is eliminated by being 'killed off' and the last one solves the case to win a cash prize.

What happens
Murder in Small Town X (sometimes abbreviated MiSTX) is an American reality television series created by George Verschoor, Robert Fisher Jr., and Gordon Cassidy and was hosted by Sgt. Gary Fredo, a California Police Investigator, that aired on Fox from July through September 2001. The series immerses contestants in a fictional town, and challenges them to solve a murder. Each week, one of the contestants is "murdered" (and removed from the show); the final contestant solves the case and wins $250,000. Although classified as a reality television series, given the format's unique nature, it was more accurately described as a hybrid of a reality TV show, game show, and mystery drama. It is notable for the fact that its winner, New York City fireman Ángel Juarbe Jr., was a first responder who died in the line of duty during the September 11 attacks, exactly one week after the show's finale aired.
