You end up illegally taking care of Winions, aka lil tamagotchi-looking-babies, so they can one day grow up and be a valuable asset for the (human and winion) society. You are helped by System Winion, an adult Winion who appears in the corner of your screen and will, at time, give valuable information to you.

Despite its very pretty and nostalgia filled appearance, Winion Virus is, at time, very dark. My experience was overall good because the setting is intriguing, the little Winions are adorable in their own way, and I just wanted to know where this would take me. I was very into it despite the translations being a bit wonky at time, and the only thing I disliked about this game is that I felt that there was a lot of repetition and dialogues I've seen already, but again, it might be the wonky translation. Some concepts are explained once, twice, which is ok, but keep being reminded the whole duration of the game which might make you end up sighing, telling yourself "I know, I know".

I would still recommend the game for its pacing, universe, and its VERY good depiction of depression/anxiety !
