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 young warrior has a secret affair with a woman, who kills herself in shame after being discovered. Her ghost returns to haunt him, and he gets protective charms from a priest. A scheming servant removes the charms, allowing the ghost to drag the warrior to the afterlife.
