Alors le jeu n'étant pas en Early access j'ai bien peur qu'on doive se contenter du contenu actuel qui pour moi n'est pas suffisant. Je ne comprend pas que sur un tel jeu on ne puisse pas embaucher de personnel... Surtout vu le grand nombre de clients chaque jours, ce qui fait qu'on passe notre temps à la caisse. Le jeu est très loin d'un console shop simulator je trouve, aussi bien graphiquement que dans le gameplay.
A team of two Developers created a game where you run a gaming shop starting from the beginning of video game existence and as you progress through the days more games and consoles release, if you like that idea alone then you will get your money's worth from this game. Ignore the "AI Slop" comments, at 13$ I will easily get 13 hours of game time here. Fine, add the 5GB storage space, 18 hours is still reasonable. Playable offline, mods supported, your unable to hire staff (at the moment) but I personally wouldn't hire them, the gameplay loop of cleaning, handing out flyers, managing your money for new products/top sellers and running the cash register perfectly is enough bait for me to bite. Gameplay starts slow which is reasonable, once more consoles and games release and are in stock you will find yourself rushing around in between transactions slapping flyers in people's faces down the street drawing in every single breathing homosapien that dares step foot on YOUR street, they rejected the first flyer? BAM, take another.
not enough customers and the customers that do come in barley buy anything
Trash game
Its a good game. Needs improvement of course. Hope the devs dont abandon it cause it has a lot of potencial
Playing this on steam deck using a x box controller and man the controls are bad took ten minutes to highlight the new game button so I can play it and when it finly does it turns out I can't look down to grab the boxes they want me to grab so can't continue so as of right now don't recommend
Super
hopefully it gets to where you can have older consoles and newer consoles. like a ps5 and what not maybe pc's too
Unfinished game, gameplay/movement is painfull, 19 minutes => at least 5 obvious bugs, nah this game is not there
This was a bit of fun as I remember this stuff from the late 80s early 90s, this is early access but there are some things I immediately noticed: *Ultrawide works, but the tab menu and shopping menu are bugged; *Doors are annoying and keep auto closing, like when bringing stock into the shop; *Maybe shoppers have a little to little patience. So far enjoying the nostalgia, and looking forward to more updates. **Edited to say this this is not listed as Early Access, but it feels like it should be.
