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 man named Hyodo Goro runs a company that is actually a violent gang in the Ginza district. He often fights with other gangs for control of the area. A police detective arrests Hyodo after an attack on a foreign-run gambling house, but powerful political connections force Hyodo's release.
