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

Ring 2 (Japanese: リング2, Hepburn: Ringu 2) is a 1999 Japanese supernatural horror film, directed by Hideo Nakata and serves as a sequel to Ring. Ring was originally a novel written by Koji Suzuki; its sequel, Spiral, was also adapted into a film as the sequel to Ring. Due to the negative response to Spiral, Ring 2 was made as a new sequel to Ring; it was not based on Suzuki's works and ultimately ignores the story of Spiral. Ring 2 takes place four weeks after the first film, directly continuing the story which features most of the cast from Ring reprising their roles. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
