The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.29/day in the week to Aug 12 → 4.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Absolutely love the game. It would be amazing if there was a better animal storage system and if workers could throw away the animal containers when empty. Other than that the game is amazing.
This game kind of sucks already. It is not intuitive at all, in terms of similar game standards. I really don't like the idea of fulfilling orders for customers that are coming to the counter. The first sign of dumb-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ was when the tutorial told me to pick up the "cardboard"... It's a damn box, you idiots! Interesting game, painful to play.

Fun game ruined by frustrating employee AI I actually enjoyed this game a lot at first. Building the shop, unlocking new animals, breeding them, raising offspring to Stud, managing prices and slowly growing the business was surprisingly addictive. The biggest problem for me is the employee AI. Once the shop gets bigger, there are simply too many things to manage manually. This should be the point where employees make your life easier, so you can focus on things like breeding and expanding the shop. Instead, employees frequently get stuck or just stand there holding boxes without completing their tasks. Because of this, I constantly have to check whether they are actually working. It defeats the whole purpose of hiring staff and makes the late game feel more stressful than fun. I really wanted to continue playing — I built multiple breeding setups and had a successful shop — but eventually there were too many animals, too much inventory, and I couldn't rely on my employees to handle the basic work. The game has a lot of potential and I genuinely had fun with it, but the employee AI needs serious improvement. If the staff system becomes reliable, I would happily come back. For now, I'm retiring from my pet shop.
Ich mag dieses Spiel wirklich gerne und das neue große Update, hat viele neue Tierarten/Rassen hinzugefügt. Die Tiere sind süß animiert und gerade das Züchten macht Spaß. Das Auktionshaus ist klasse, somit hat man noch mehr, seltene Tiere. Was ich mir noch wünschen würde, wären mehr Dekorationen für den Laden, Dekorationen für die Aquarien, da diese sehr leer wirken. Was auch schön wäre, wenn man mit seinem Haustier mehr machen könnte. Sie laufen herum, wachsen, aber man kann selber nichts machen. Die Kunden könnten sich ihre Waren selber holen und es wäre toll, wenn man mehrere Waren oder Tiere transportieren könne. Empfehlen würde ich dieses Spiel aber auf alle Fälle.
**WAREHOUSE SIMULATOR** I don’t even know where to start. I really wanted this game to do well because it looks promising, but man, it has so many issues. I was actually going to gift this game to my niece, but after trying it myself I changed my mind. First, the controls are unnecessarily complicated. I got stuck during the tutorial because there is no undo button, and the tutorial itself blocks previous tools that you sometimes need to go back to in order to proceed. The whole breeding system also feels like it should have been handled very differently. And what is the deal with all the packages? A huge portion of the game is just ordering things and restocking everything yourself. Employees can restock pets from time to time, but then they will randomly stop doing it even when you have already purchased the animal. Your entire property is covered in packages. I also don’t understand why the developers force the player to throw away every box one by one. It becomes even more annoying because if a package is already open, you can’t just grab it off the floor and throw it away. You have to sit through the closing animation first, then pick it up, and then delete it. That might not sound tedious, but when you have multiple boxes everywhere, it becomes incredibly annoying. The computer UI is also way too complicated. It is very easy to get lost when you are trying to find something specific. For example, the section where you unlock new features, animals, and equipment is buried inside the same app used for employee management. Why? The employee hiring hierarchy also feels pointless. You never struggle with money enough for there to be much reason to hire some low level crackhead instead of a professional employee. Even the stats barely matter. A professional employee doesn’t feel that different from your crackhead employee. They both work pretty similarly. I can’t even say much about the pets themselves, which is probably the biggest problem with the game. The way the gameplay is designed makes you barely focus on the animals. To me, they eventually felt equivalent to a bag of fish food, just another product sitting in the store, there is very little reason to become invested in them. You can’t customize their habitats, improve their living conditions, or buy better equipment for their care. I would have loved things like upgrading tanks, improving enclosures, decorating habitats, or having more reasons to actually care about the animals instead of treating them like another inventory. There are other problems I could mention, but they are minor compared to my main complaints. In its current state, the game feels like it is suffering from a lack of identity. It has pets and it is a pet store, but it doesn’t really feel like a pet focused game. Instead, too much of the gameplay revolves around micromanaging systems that aren’t particularly interesting. The game needs to focus much more on the animals and make them the heart of the experience instead of overcomplicating everything around them.
в целом прикольно. Можно посидеть погриндить и даже это начинает нравится. А теперь минусы: Почему в обучение не рассказано, что чтобы работники носили товар на полки, то им обязательно нужен стеллаж? Почему я об этом должен был узнать через 10 часов? Оптимиация тоже еще хромает. Если заказать много коробок (штук 100) то фпс заметно просядет, мне пришлось графику снижать до средних и то лаги продолжались. В конце игры решил заказать примерно 5000 разных товаров и игра превратилась в презинтацию повер поинт. Среднее фпс было ровно 1. Спасибо что не вылетала. Открытие новых животных за баллы др*чь полная. Их на столько много и так мало дают очков, что пришлось выдавать очки через чит энджин, чтобы пополнить ассартимент магазина интересующими животными.
no controller support and clunky control design
zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt ist es für mich nicht spielbar, denn man kann keinen geordneten aufgeräumten laden sinnvoll führen. für mich macht es den Eindruck die spiele werden nur grösstenteils kopiert und auf den Markt geworfen, hauptsache money. und die tatsache das seit merz kein update mehr kam und sie lieber schauen das es auf konsole raus kommt bestätigt meinen verdacht. Bei den kleinen >Simulatoren gilt hast du einen gesehen kennst du alle!
玩了两个小时,感觉太繁琐了,仓库工人根本不补货,需要操作的地方太多了,题材很喜欢,希望能优化
Honesly, I Really Thought i would love this game but its frustrating as can be. Those videos are complete lies. No Freedom Or Creativity, honestly, honestly, so honstly upset how it turned out. i do not recommend this game. not worth the price. like play it and you'll see what i mean. don't get this game. and does not have as many animals as it says it does. its full of lies.
