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.

What happens

Kaiji: Final Game (Japanese: カイジ ファイナルゲーム, Hepburn: Kaiji Fainaru Gēmu) is a 2020 Japanese live-action film based on the manga series Kaiji by Nobuyuki Fukumoto. It is the third installment of the Kaiji film series directed by Tōya Satō and premiered in Japan on January 10, 2020. Unlike the first two previous films, Kaiji and Kaiji 2, Kaiji: Final Game is not based on a specific part of the series and it is a completely original story written by Fukumoto. A fourth film, titled Kaiji: Jinsei Revenge Game, is set to premiere in 2027. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
