The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

In Meiji-era Japan after the Sino-Japanese war, a samurai's daughter named Kiyoko faces public disgrace when her father is wrongly accused of embezzlement. She and her family are ostracized, and she turns to her childhood friend for help. To save her father, she must humble herself before a wealthy merchant.
