About
Open For Business is an entertainment store management simulator where you build and grow your own shop selling games, movies, and collectible items.
But this is more than just a store.
It’s a place where memories, nostalgia, and entertainment culture come together, inspired by different eras of video games and cinema — from cartridges and VHS tapes to modern consoles and collectible figures.
Many products will remind players of the most iconic games, movies, and characters, evoking familiar emotions and memories.
Everything takes place in an alternative universe filled with its own games, movies, characters, and franchises. Every product is part of a larger world that gradually unfolds as your store grows.

Da der Entwickler sehr sehr aktiv dabei ist das Spiel zu verbessern und auf die Wünsche der Spieler eingeht , gibt es schonmal nen Daumen hoch. Positiv sind: + Coole VHS, Spiele etc mit tollen Covern und Namen + Täglich kommen mehrere Kunden die einen speziellen Wunsch haben an Video oder Spiel (hier wäre schön wenn die Abstände etwas größer wären, denn kaum was einer da kommt gefühlt 1 min später schon wieder einer und in der Zeit kann man keine Kisten wegschmeißen) + Laden kann jederzeit geöffnet oder geschlossen werden. Da es keine klassischen Öffnungszeiten gibt , braucht man hier zwischendrin etwas Zeit zum Nachbestellen und Auffüllen. + Man sieht beim Bestellen wie der Bestand im Laden/Lager ist , dieses kam erst mit dem letzten oder vorletzten Patch und das ist Gold wert , denn ich hatte da echt Probleme beim merken, was mir gleich leer läuft und was nicht Ok jetzt mal das ein oder andere "noch" Negative: - Es ist sehr dunkel im Laden , hier hätte ich gerne eine Klassische Beleuchtung , denn das mit den Lampen ist zwar cool und sieht schön aus aber man müsste 10-15 Lampen kaufen um mal was zu sehen wenn es Nacht ist..... - Mitarbeiter sind relativ teuer und man sieht nicht ab wann man welche haben kann. Vielleicht kommt das mit den kommenden Lizenzen aber eine Extra Rubrik/Übersicht wäre da besser - Wäre glaub etwas angenehmen wenn die Kunden "nur" 1-4 oder 1-5 Artikel kaufen würden , denn manchmal kaufen die 6-8 Artikel und da ist man schnell leer. Fazit: Es macht schon Spaß aber das ich mal 1 std oder länger dran bleibe am Spiel , geht bei mir im jetztigen Stand des Spieles noch nicht. Habe die 2,5 Std spielzeit auf bestimmt 10 starts verteilt gesammelt
One of the best simulator games! I have a huge number of different simulators, and this one certainly needs some work in places, but I thoroughly enjoyed playing it for several hours without leaving the monitor. What I liked: - The merchandise! It's simply something! Tons of nods to famous games and films! Aaaah! And you can even place statues! COOL! - The music, that's a whole other story! Excellent music, I'd even buy the DLC. - Practically everything in one place - the business manager pressed Q, and you don't have to constantly run to some computer, order one thing, run halfway across the map, order again, and transfer. Everything is nearby. That's a special treat ;) - I like that you don't have to click the cash register to enter it in front of the customer. I run up close, click on the merchandise, and then on the card or money the customer gives – AND IT AUTOMATICALLY TRANSFERS YOU TO THE RIGHT MACHINE! It's amazing! Special thanks for the keyboard input and credit card customer service! Overall, the atmosphere is fantastic! What I didn't like: - You need to think about food, drinks, etc. :) I think it's best to remove this :) There's still some room for improvement, but for a first game, it's really cool! In any case, I'll be playing and waiting for updates! ;)
game is fun hooked on it
Good game for the first time! It was very interesting to play such a simulator. I really liked the design and style of the whole game, I hope that in the future the author will release even more cool games!
Developer is very responsive to constructive critism, and genuinely wants to make a game everyone will love. Initially it was a bit clunky, but he has already made updates to improve the systems. I think it has great potential with time. Developer is a solo, one man team.... but fixes things quickly. Huge nostalgic potential.
Поиграл. Понравились отсылки к фильмам и играм. Прям ностальгия. Давал стрим в дискорде, поностальгировали с ребятами. Роботатор - терминатор. Снотрикс - матрица. В общем, лайк. Молодец разраб. Надеюсь на дальнейшее развитие игры
Это что то новое в жанре симуляторов! Очень понравилось детальная проработка товаров и витрин, всякие отсылочки к существующим играм/фильмам и тд. Прокачка приятная, хочется открывать новое. Включила и пропала на 10ч! )))) Короче 10 VHS из 10! )))) Советую всем любителям жанра!
Вайб имеется Залипательная игра, забавные отсылки с изменёнными названиями сериалов, игр, техники Режим строительства удобный, можно зависнуть обставляя магазинчик)
For a Solo Developer I ahve to say that this is a pretty, no damn fine base of a Simulator game! It sparks and immediate sense of Nostalgia, the music is all specifically created for the game so no DRM issues. Yes it hasn't been out long but there are so mnay things that this game has that seperates itself from the other Simulator games that are out there currently. The developer is constantly interacting with the player base and implementing changes and bugs that are picked up by the current player base, he appreciates all feedback and is consistant with replies. The game itself is BEAUTIFULLY crafted. It runs well, has it's issues yes but what game thee days don't. Checkout 10/10 Buying licenses and progression into more stock items 10/10 Stock control and buying 10/10 Visuals 10/10 Lighting busy being worked on but updated multiple times already NPCs constantly being updated and worked on but for me better than biger Sim games out there currently For a Solo Indie Develeoper to create this and launch it with the excitement & dedication that Crixalina has I cannot stres enough that you give this game a chance. Because I honestly believe that this can grow into being a massive competitor for other Shop Sims.
Интересный симулятор, такой, некий ретро вайб словил. Заморочились с названиями, что круто ) визуалочка магазина тоже понравилась. Моя девушка вообще на несколько дней пропала в игре, пока не отстроила гипер маркет ) Языки добавились, что огромный плюс. Любителям симуляторов - должно зайти, проработка менеджмента тянет на серьезную и обширную.
