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 lighthearted walking and collecting game where you wander a water-themed map dodging simple traps.

What players say

Players describe Sad Virus Waterland as a short third-person platformer and adventure where you collect beer bottles for achievements, but many call it an asset flip made with bought Unreal assets. The level is often too dark to navigate, and while the parkour is praised by some, others find the experience minimal and repetitive.
