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.

It is an adaptation and side story of the PlayStation 2 video game Forbidden Siren 2, part of the Siren survival horror series. The film also includes elements from the first game in the series. It stars Yui Ichikawa in her first leading role in a film, alongside Leo Morimoto, Naoki Tanaka and Hiroshi Abe. The plot follows a family that moves to a remote island with centuries' worth of folk history, where supernatural incidents start occurring. Koji Nozaki served as the film's VFX supervisor.
