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

You stand in a virtual court, shooting free throws with motion controls, chasing high scores in quick, competitive rounds.

What players say

Players are split on Hoops VR. Some call it a fun, simple arcade basketball game, especially for a quick session or with friends. But many say the throwing physics are bad and feel wrong, with ball release inconsistent on Oculus Touch controllers. Others dismiss it as a basic tech demo with boring, tedious gameplay.
