Speak your mind and watch the robots riff back. AstroBeam’s debut invites players to improvise conversations and help a quirky cast solve their unique challenges
AUSTIN, TEXAS – December 5, 2025 – AstroBeam, the groundbreaking game studio building the future of voice interaction, today launched its debut title, Stellar Cafe, for Meta Quest headsets. Built around natural voice and expressive hand-tracking, Stellar Cafe is the first VR game that turns conversation into gameplay. Players befriend eccentric robots, solve their offbeat dilemmas, and order cosmic coffee in a cozy sci-fi hangout. Stellar Cafe is now available on the Meta Quest Store for $14.99.

Stellar Cafe is a conversational VR experience from the mind of AstroBeam founder and Job Simulator co-creator Devin Reimer. Order drinks with your voice, wave with your hands, and solve delightfully weird problems your own way. From helping a robot quit their job at the sprocket factory to becoming the first human guest on a robot’s podcast, every conversation is driven by what you say, with robots responding directly to you.
Stellar Cafe’s robot patrons respond in real-time, using a large language model (LLM) that enables them to understand context, remember details, and keep the conversation flowing. Stellar Cafe is the most natural-feeling game to date, with gameplay that combines seamless conversations and intuitive hand-tracking controls.
“Once all the tech fades into the background, interaction feels obvious,” said Devin Reimer, CEO and founder of AstroBeam. “You speak naturally, and characters respond in context like a real exchange. It’s the first time any VR game has created an experience between the player and characters that is a totally natural, seamless experience.”
Stellar Cafe Key Features:
- Voice-First Gameplay: Speak to the robots and they speak back. No dialogue trees, just direct understanding and interaction, all in real-time. Be creative and expressive, conversations are fully dynamic and driven by your voice!
- Hand Tracking: Use your hands. If you want to grab it, do it! Reach, grab, sip, point and toss objects in your environment just like real life. From adding creamer to your coffee to flinging a bottle of hot sauce at a robot, let both your hands and your voice do the talking.
- Colorful Cast of Characters: Every robot has a unique personality, goals, and quirks. Make a friend (or foe), help them untangle their personal challenges, and free up their schedule just in time for the Patch Day party.
