Description


Congratulations, you brave consumer! You have just entered the world where buying games IS the game. In Sale Ends in 3 Minutes, you will embark on a journey of chasing discounts, managing balance and MOST IMPORTANTLY collecting games that you will probably never play in your life!!! Oh, almost forgot to mention...You also get to earn those shiny Collector Badges for your efforts, completely useless little emblems that exist solely to make you feel like you’ve achieved something!

CAUTION: *No refunds. Not even imaginary ones.* This is a parody of modern consumer traps and the addiction of digital ownership, this game invites you to reflect, laugh, and maybe feel a little called out. Because let’s face it: the true final boss is your backlog.

Concept is cool, but gameplay is a little unsatisfying. Text could also be a bit bigger, it was kinda hard to see. The knockoff game titles were pretty funny!

It's an interesting idea, it doesn't get feedback when switching to other games, but the sounds are good.

I really liked the puns, espicially Which One, Frostponk and The Sins) Overall it's fun, the only thing is UI does not scale, so it's pretty small, espicially on fullscreen.
