Life in Jasskia: A Coffee Shop; A Political-Economic Shop Survival Simulation
Start with a small instant-coffee stand at a metro stop in a world that is slowly collapsing, where you’ll have troubles far bigger than “giving change.” And you’ll realize it quickly: in Jasskia, making coffee isn’t enough to survive. You have to read the agenda and make the right move at the right time.
A daily newspaper brings national and global news; those headlines shake the economy, reshape opportunities, and shift the balance of power across the country. Some days you profit. Some days you simply stay afloat.
✅ The agenda changes everything
Follow the developments through the daily newspaper:
The value of JL (Jasskia Lida) can rise or fall, and prices may change instantly.
The stock market swings; if you want to win, you must track the agenda.
Certain conditions and opportunities across the country can take shape along with the news.
✅ Meet people, see the country for what it is
Meet over 70 NPCs. Help them, or talk about the agenda:
Every NPC has their own routine. Your relationship directly affects how likely they are to shop at your place.
Helping people boosts your reputation. The higher your reputation, the more doors open to larger shops.
In conversations, you can position yourself as pro-government or opposition, and define your side.
In Jasskia, you will sometimes witness unsettling truths.
✅ Tenders: big money, big risk
Keep an eye on municipal and governorate tenders. But in Jasskia, entering a tender often means aligning yourself with the tender owner. Being in the right place at the right time is everything.
✅ From stand to shop: grow and diversify
Save up, rent larger shops, and expand your menu:
Buy new coffee machines and add new drinks; the bigger your menu, the more customers you attract.
More space means better decoration and comfort; the comfort you offer directly affects customer count.
Roast and grind your own beans to cut costs, and chase big profits through coffee tenders.
Make your own desserts, add them to your menu, and aim for major gains through dessert tenders.
✅ Don’t miss payments
Rent, income tax, electricity/water bills, employee wages and insurance premiums. On top of that, surprise extra charges and Jasskia’s dark order. In Jasskia, delaying certain payments can be fatal for a shop.
The world is collapsing. The end is approaching.
It creeps closer day by day, and when it arrives, if you don’t have a fortune to pay, it will take either your life or your dignity.
