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
This is a revival of a classic Japanese period drama. It follows the shogun Yoshimune as he secretly investigates injustices and fights villains in Edo-era Japan. The original star returns to play the lead role in this new adventure.
