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 junior samurai named Kamimori Mikijiro is kidnapped by two people. He escapes and wanders for three years before arriving in Edo's red-light district Yoshiwara. There he works as a bouncer at a brothel where women teach reading and writing while also prostituting themselves, and he tries to solve various incidents while the two people from his past reappear.
