Night Rolls Cozy Store

Disclosure: You might see earlier reviews talking about AI. While it is true that there was disclosed AI use at release, the game as of now (not even a month after release!) is now fully AI free. The solo dev reached out to the community and either bought or paid for assets to replace what was AI. :) Even the radio DJ voices (which you can turn off in game, by the way.) Pros: - Cute game - I like this style of character art and the silly customers costumes. - You can add your own music files to the radio - Very very in-depth banking mecanics that you can fully ignore if you don't care about it - Sushi making is very simple, but I find it nice Cons: -The amount of customers can be a bit overwhelming for a cozy setting -You have to stock before or after the day, but don't have much time to do so -The game feels like it was balanced for multiplayer but it does not appear to be multiplayer I really like how the dev responded to criticism, not by making an excuse for it but by promptly changing it and using the games' money to buy the services needed for it. I highly appreciate that transparency and reactivity. Thank you dev.

this game has alot of potential. however, you can't upgrade your store and you run out of room fast. you actually get to unlock all the items, but there is only a select few to choose and MOST of its in fridges... guess what... YOUR FRIDGES ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. in some aspects, this game FEELS a little like it's lying to you? (though this could just be the dev's lack of foresight..) where in it calls itself 'cozy' to get that audience, making it easy to just to throw your standard shopping sim and call it a day. But in retrospect its not so much cozy, as its just a regular sim game, bc you do have timers and the customers DO get angry at you if you take to long. seriously, you get NO SPACE for the sushi your SUPPOSED to be making... what in the world... one night 100 ppl came in and you have NO TIME to do anything. how is THAT cozy?? lolololololol in other aspects, it ALSO feels like an early access title that got 'finished' slapped onto it. I don't recommend it, bc honestly, it's a grind and a little unbalanced on some nights. once you get past a week, you really start to feel the cracks. some of these good reviews are from ppl with less then 10 games reviews on their profiles lolol take that like you see it...?? either way. i don't recommend, bc it feels unfinished and could be better, but your pretty much done in 5-6 hrs and you have seen everything. wait for more updates, if ever they come out with more to the store. for 10 bucks, idk... don't go in expecting 30 hrs of content. you ain't getting that.

For the price... I guess it isn't bad? The game play loop just isn't there for me, nothing hooked me. I am also upset about the AI usage... These textures could have been sourced with some effort or found with artists needing experience for their portfolio (tons of forums for that on reddit/etc.) Seems like you just took the easy way and for the price, its not worth that.

Unfortunately there is a lot of AI generated art in this game.

Ultimately, this game feels thin. There's simultaneously not enough to do, and too much to do. Checking out customers is just standing there and pressing E, which keeps you just standing in place trying to work through a big queue. When you do finish up a long line, you don't really have time to do anything else because by the time you get back to the register, your customers are starting to get pissed off at waiting so long. The reddit/social media thing is just... Kinda nonsense. And ultimately, the whole gameplay loop just feels kind of empty. It's a way to kill time, but not something I felt like I'd enjoy playing long-term.

j'adore ce jeu, il est fun, les graphismes sont très sympa. le gameplay est simple mais suffisamment engageant. les updates sont fréquentes, je le recommande vivement.

整体评价还行，游戏整体内容体量目前还是太少，玩法单一后期枯燥，能做的东西只有寿司，建议可以加入烧烤或者关东煮这些，希望作者后期加入一些新的玩法（比如节假日变化或者随机事件什么的），强烈建议加入自动化扫地清洁机器人这个东西，每次都自己去清洁真的太累了！！！ Overall, the game is fairly decent, but it currently has very limited content — sushi is the only item you can make so far. I suggest adding food options like barbecue or oden, and I hope the developers will introduce more gameplay mechanics later on, such as holiday-themed variations or random events. I also strongly recommend adding an automated cleaning robot. Having to do all the cleaning manually every single time is really exhausting!!

i have played a LOT of sim games. and this...plays like a roblox game. something about it feels....off? vibe coded? theres weirdly high levels of complexity in certain things, like the computer interface, yet, extremely low levels of complexity in things that would actually benefit from it, like the sushi making system and checking out customers. There is a strange lack of both explicit or implicit guidance as well. The 3rd person perspective is a bit jarring, and feels like the character is sort of in the way. not to mention there's no character customization. that being said, some of the visuals are nice, like the rain, but they still have something sort of 'off' about them, some sort of lack of cohesion? it has potential, but needs work. feels very early-access, and yeah can't shake the urge to compare it to a roblox game.

want to start by saying i love this games vibe. so much so that i'm willing to overlook the small amount of AI (at the time of this review it looks like some of the AI mentioned in other reviews has been removed or changed...but not all) and i'm going to keep playing the game, but i cannot recommend it to anyone else because of this. most people, myself included, who play this kind of game, would rather see stock unity assets than AI ones. the games only other major flaw is its lack of products. i spent a good amount of time on the PC wondering what i was missing because there are so few i was convinced there was something i missed. beyond these two things the game is great. and i'm hoping one day i can change my review to a positive one
