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.

What players say

Players describe Sad Virus Castle as a very short 3D platformer where you collect beer bottles in a castle environment, but multiple reviewers call it an asset flip by Valkeala Software using assets from another developer. Others note it is unpolished with floating objects and takes about 7 to 25 minutes to finish.
