The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

This VR goalie trainer feels like a high-stakes, full-body workout, demanding quick reflexes and precision as you face blistering slap shots and tip-ins with realistic feedback.

What players say

Players say the game is both the most advanced VR goalie trainer available and a buggy mess the developer has abandoned. Pucks frequently pass through gloves and pads, skaters teleport with no animation, and the free predecessor is often considered more polished. Fans who persist find a solid workout and realistic drills, but they warn the experience is unrefined and may require workarounds.
