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.

What happens

Middle Kingdom's Mark of Blood (中原一點紅), also known as Red Dot Chivalry and The Red Mark of Death, is a 1980 Hong Kong–Taiwanese wuxia film. The story is a cross-over between two novel series by Gu Long: the Lu Xiaofeng Series and Chu Liuxiang Series. The titular character, Zhongyuan Yidianhong (literally "A Red Dot in the Central Plains"), is from the Chu Liuxiang Series, while the story itself is adapted from the novel Juezhan Qianhou of the Lu Xiaofeng Series.
