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 film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

Rigadin is a bank employee who brings money to a man playing cards. While the husband is busy, Rigadin flirts with the young wife in another room but gets caught and thrown out. He then puts on a different hat which makes him unrecognizable, leading to comedic confusion.
