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 slowly wander a big empty city as a sad virus searching for beer bottles, with a lonely, aimless feel.

What players say

Players say Sad Virus Town is a very short walking simulator where you control a sad virus finding 8 beer bottles scattered around a city. Some call it an asset flip using the Polygon City Pack, while others find its absurd premise charming as a quick, cheap distraction. Opinions are split over whether it is a scam or a silly scavenger hunt.
