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.

What happens

Survivor Türkiye (formerly Survivor Turkey) is the Turkish version of the popular reality series Survivor. This version of the show has aired on both Kanal D in 2005, and on Show TV in 2006, 2007, and 2010. From the beginning, Survivor was a success in Turkey, however, the cost of producing the show proved to be too much for Kanal D and even Show TV could not afford to produce the show on a yearly basis. Because of production costs, the show was put on hiatus in 2007 and was brought back three years later. The prize for the first seasons of the show was 150,000 euros, for the second and third seasons 250,000 euros, and 500,000 dollars for the fourth season. Following its time on Show TV, the series moved briefly to Star TV (2013–2014) before transitioning to TV8 in 2015. Since then, it has aired annually on TV8, becoming one of the most-watched programs in Turkey with long-running formats like Ünlüler vs. Gönüllüler. The latest season premiered on January 1, 2026, and is currently ongoing. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
