Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 18.71/day in the week to Aug 7 → 26.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

The game is very well optimized and I love how they keep adding content over time it gets very addicting and makes you wanna just do one more day in the game. Can't wait for them to add the video game update whenever that will be. I definitely recommend it
10/10 la atmosfera y nostalgia, pero se hace extremandamente repetitivo y hay poco margen de crecimiento real
The nostalgia was strong with this one! -Enjoyable gameplay loop -Satisfying arranging layout and decorations -Special events to keep it fresh 9/10
Basically 3 hours in and I'm already impressed, this is very fun and worth every penny
Спасибо разрабам, что доводят до ума симуляторы. Этот крутой симулятор закручивания пленки карандашом влюбил в себя сразу.
Me encantó, me pareció novedoso para los juegos de esta dinámica. Algo complejo y tenso por momentos pasar nivel a nivel. Tiene algunos bugs; como cuando los clientes dejan las cajas de video en el mostrador, es todo muy lento y muchas veces salen volando y no las encontrás, lo que me ha llevado a reiniciar partida porque no podía cobrarles. Desconozco si el juego termina con una remembranza a la actualidad, es decir: Transitamos la inauguración de un videoclub, y con el tiempo, también lo vemos morir por el paso del tiempo y las plataformas de streaming. Sería interesante introducir una problemática así, a la historia.
Lustiger Shop Simulator, das einzige was leicht stört, ist dass zu viele Kunden kommen und so noch lang nach der Öffnungszeit abkassiert werden muss. Was jeden Tag gemacht werden muss, ist es random Leute mit meinen Flyern abzuschmeißen.
приколямба, но к концу скатывается в рутину
