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 girl goes missing. Three other girls whose lives are linked to her get pulled into the search. As they dig into the city's underground tunnels and buried secrets, each one confronts painful choices that test who they are and what they'll sacrifice. The answer to the disappearance changes them, and surviving it means finding a way back to themselves.
