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

Assassin's Creed: Embers is a 2011 Canadian animated short film created by UbiWorkshop, based on the Assassin's Creed video game franchise. It serves as a conclusion to the story of Ezio Auditore da Firenze, the protagonist of Assassin's Creed II, Brotherhood, and Revelations, who has also featured in several other works. Taking place in 1524, twelve years after the events of Revelations, the film depicts an elderly Ezio living a peaceful life with his family in rural Tuscany after retiring from the Assassin Order, until the appearance of a mysterious Assassin threatens to put his family in danger. The film is included as a bonus in the Signature and Collector's Editions of Assassin's Creed: Revelations. It was later re-released on the PlayStation Store on 23 April 2015. The film was first revealed on July 21, 2011, when UbiWorkshop showed a teaser trailer at Comic-Con 2011. According to the developers, Embers is the final chapter of Ezio's story, and although it can be watched at anytime, it is best to experience it after completing Revelations, in order to fully understand the complete tale of Ezio.
