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

A highly immersive and physically authentic hockey simulation where precise controller movements and realistic puck physics create tense, arcade-style shooting challenges.

What players say

Players see a promising proof of concept but the game is barely more than a shooting range. You stand still and take slap shots at a goalie or targets, and while the puck physics feel good, there is no skating or 5v5. Some have calibration trouble with real hockey sticks taped to VR controllers.
