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 series adapts Chinese folklore stories about fox spirits, demons, and other supernatural beings who interact with humans. It shows magical creatures like a paper doll that comes to life and a tree that feels longing, all struggling with desire and fate in a world where magic and human flaws mix together.
