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
A team of police officers must transport a child killer across Japan to face trial. A billion yen bounty is placed on the killer's head by the victim's grandfather. The officers struggle to protect their prisoner from a horde of would-be assassins.
