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 broke slacker named Kaiji is tricked into a huge debt by a friend. To pay it off, he joins a dangerous illegal gambling game on a cruise ship where he must use his wits to survive against ruthless opponents.
