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 detective in a fake town works with a different real celebrity each episode to figure out who killed someone. The town is full of exaggerated versions of famous people acting as criminals and weird characters.
