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.

How it feels

This film is a prequel to the Carved horror series. It tells the origin story of a vengeful spirit based on a Japanese urban legend. A woman was mutilated and killed by her husband, and she returns as a ghost who asks victims if they think she is pretty before killing them.
