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
Japan experiences a series of catastrophic geological events that cause the islands to sink into the ocean. A rescue diver and a seismologist work to save people and uncover the science behind the disaster.
