About
inKONBINI: One Store. Many Stories is a cozy, narrative-driven slice-of-life game with light simulation elements, centered on human connection and everyday moments.
Play as Makoto Hayakawa, a college student spending her summer behind the counter of a small-town convenience store, in a colorful world inspired by early 1990s Japan.
Your days are shaped by simple, tactile actions. You stock shelves, tidy displays, and prepare the store for customers, not to optimize numbers, but to settle into a comforting rhythm. Between tasks, you explore the store and its surroundings, notice tiny details, and connect with regulars whose lives gently intertwine with yours.
Through branching conversations and meaningful choices, your interactions shape relationships and reveal intimate stories of a close-knit neighborhood.
A Cozy, Routine-Driven Store Experience
Engage in light storekeeping activities like stocking items, organizing shelves, and ordering goods. These moments create a calming flow that supports exploration and storytelling rather than complex management.
Narrative Focused Interactions
Experience branching dialogue and meaningful choices as you learn about the lives, routines, and secrets of your customers.
Nostalgic Early 1990s Atmosphere
Immerse yourself in a Japan-inspired setting with soft visuals, warm lighting, and lovingly crafted details that evoke comfort and familiarity.
Toy Capsule Surprises
Collect and discover charming capsule toys from the store’s gachapon machine. Each capsule holds a small surprise, adding moments of delight and curiosity to your daily routine and inviting you to uncover every little treasure inside.
Soothing ASMR Inspired Soundscape
Enjoy a peaceful ASMR-like soundscape filled with subtle everyday sounds that enhance relaxation and presence.

This is a really beautiful game. The stories of the customers impacted by your choices really plays out well. There are a few glitches here and there but they are not an issue. This game was a really worth while experience and was incredibly thoughtful.
The game is like a warm hug, I quite enjoyed my time with it.
I like how it is calming and has a interesting storyline
love this little gem. hard to recommend with its full price tag, but a lovely short game with tremendous soul!
20€ pour finir le jeu en 6h30 (de façon vraiment chill). Seulement 4 personnages qu'on revoit presque tout les soirs, une histoire de fond qui pourrait être beaucoup plus développé. Très déçue je m'attendais vraiment à autre chose.
Genuinely enthralled the entire time I played, always wanted to keep coming back. The shelf stacking / sorting was super relaxing, even if I missed the occasional turned can. What I wouldn't give to restock the store from scratch honestly. I hope we can get an 'endless mode' one day, maybe playing as our Auntie Hina :')
I hate to say I wouldn't recommend this game. I really wanted to love this, but the story is way too short to feel any emotional payout at the end. It's heavy on the story and light on the management aspects, which is fine but the developers just didn't give enough time for the story to develop. It's a shame because I liked the concept a lot.
Очень крутая и ламповая игра, задумка реализована на отличном уровне! Интересные персонажи, которые уместно вплетены в сюжет. Приятные мелочи в виде проработки некоторых геймплейных деталей особенно порадовали. Ну и русскоязычная локализация не подвела! Спасибо разработчикам! <3
way too slow and kind of boring. it crashed for me on day 3 or 4 and i don't care enough to redo a day. if it goes on sale for like $5 it might be worth it
Сама игра неплоха, но я встретил минимум 2 бага. Если вы хотите ее пройти на платину, то сочувствую, одно из достижений багнуто, я смог получить его с 7 раза, а получается оно прям в самом конце игры(нужно делать определенные действия с самого начала игры, до конца) а именно - "Неожиданный товар". Ну и не скипайте получение доставки, иначе придется перезаходить в игру. Самой игре ставлю 7\10.
