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

The Tang monk and his disciples encounter a mountain engulfed in flames that blocks their westward journey. The fire was caused by the Monkey King knocking over a celestial furnace years ago. To continue, they must obtain a magical fan from the wife of the Bull Demon King to extinguish the blaze.
