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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A young man returns home to find his father murdered by a crime syndicate. He sets out on a quest for revenge that takes him from his small town to the streets of Hong Kong. Along the way he struggles with language barriers and the code of the yakuza.
