The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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 platoon of frog-like aliens from another galaxy tries to take over Earth but ends up living with a human family. The lead alien, Sergeant Keroro, is more interested in video games and anime than conquest. The show follows their daily adventures and mishaps parodying sci-fi and pop culture.
