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 boy named Zeya protects a girl called Xiao Pin Gai from bullies at an orphanage. They part ways when Zeya is taken home by a wealthy man, promising to return. Twenty years later, he finds the orphanage replaced by skyscrapers. He meets a woman named Tianbian and falls for her, but she only sees him as a friend. He then learns Tianbian is actually the girl he promised to find.
