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 childhood friends drift apart after a tragedy years ago. Now one of them sees the ghost of the girl who died, and he tries to bring the friends back together to fulfill her final wish.
