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

Darknet is a Canadian horror series that ran from October 2013 through March 2014. The show is an adaptation of the Japanese series Tori Hada. The series has been described as being composed of "snippets of people's lives being interrupted by vivid instances of unexpected violence or shocking strangeness" and each episode consists of several interlocking stories. The series' setup allowed for users to submit their own scripts and videos to the official series' social media sites after the season's end. The first episode of Darknet was released onto the Internet on October 31, 2013 through the series' official Fox Broadcasting Company page and subsequent episodes were made available through Super Channel. The first season of Darknet comprises six episodes and was completed on March 28, 2014. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
