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

What happens

『人でなしの恋』（ひとでなしのこい）は、作家江戸川乱歩が1926年（大正15年）に発表した短編小説。ピグマリオニズムの作品としてのちの『押絵と旅する男』に通じるものがある。 乱歩によると、この作品は読者にも編集者にもあまり評価されなかったが、乱歩自身のお気に入りの一つである。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
