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 transformed into a cyborg rider awakens with amnesia and must protect a child from a monstrous force. He uncovers his connection to a mad scientist's experiments and confronts his own past as a weapon.

What happens
Kamen Rider ZO (仮面ライダーZO, Kamen Raidā Zetto Ō), translated Masked Rider ZO, is a 1993 Japanese tokusatsu superhero film directed by Keita Amemiya, and co-produced between Toei Company and Bandai. A Sega CD interactive movie, The Masked Rider: Kamen Rider ZO, was released in 1994. To commemorate the series' 40th anniversary, ZO was shown on Toei's pay-per-view channel in September 2011. The film's protagonist, Kamen Rider ZO, appears in the later Kamen Rider Decade television series and is a playable character in the 2011 Nintendo DS video game All Kamen Rider: Rider Generation. Media Blasters licensed Kamen Rider ZO for a Region 1 Blu-ray release, along with Shin: Kamen Rider Prologue, Kamen Rider J, and the short Kamen Rider World. A limited Collector’s Edition featuring World and a special interview with Director Keita Amemiya was released in the summer of 2024 exclusively on the Media Blasters website, while a Standard Edition of the Blu-ray for the wider market was released in April of 2025. This version of the Blu-ray however does not contain neither the short nor the interview. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
