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

A homunculus hides from those who hunt him and later returns to cause conflict and murder among people. He tries to force an orphaned girl and a shepherd to breed a new human race on a deserted island, but the plan fails and he destroys the island, killing the couple. His companion is so horrified by the destruction that he turns against him and threatens to kill him.
