I honestly don't know how to put this but it's like a VERY basic version of Papers Please, I mean, only the fact you say "Yes or No" to games instead of people, it really isn't a great game and the mini-games are awful. When you launch the game, it picks up my monitor resolution and settings, but once you go in the ingame settings, it was set to 640p or something like that, limited frame rates, I had to change the settings, leaving the launcher at the start of the game completely useless. The game is literally swipe "Left" for "No", swipe "Right" for "Yes", pretty much it, the flappy bird mini-game uses space, other than those, I didn't see any other controls. There is no fun to be had in this game, the choices don't make any sense with no real way of seeing which way the choice is going to impact you, the only indicator is that you see a bigger or smaller icon above the effected stat, which only says how much it will be effected, not if it's going down or up. Multiple times the game tried to get me to publish the same game, no matter if I say yes or no and to top it off a sequel can come out before the first game. The game seems very lazy and not thought out very well, the idea is great but very poorly executed, if this was more like a proper simulator were you manage a company releasing a digital Storefront, then this may have potential, but the way it is right now, very unlikely this will ever be a great game.

Uhhh.... Okay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUhjkaRSH4Q Does it work? Yup. Is it Fun? About as much fun as watching paint dry. Zzzzzz.... But OMG.. Could we possibly make a lazier, more boring game? But you know what? No zombies. No hentai sex BS. Not an asset flip either!! That passes for being better than 97% of all Steam releases at under a dollar these days, so "Recommended" :-D
I got it specifically because I needed extra money in my cart, so EFFECTIVELY free and I expected something similar to lootbox simulator, a fun little timewaster. It's not. It's not even a timewaster. I can't bear to stick with it. I've never before so quickly uninstalled such a small game. That's not a simple insult, it's a genuine observation: it broke the record for fastest uninstall ever. Other worse games would have it beat but they had troubleshooting time on their side. It does what it does perfectly, though.
[i]Disclosure: I'm friends with one of the conceptualizers of the game.[/i] Enjoyable game for the price. Simplistic in nature but a generally addictive nature will make players want to keep coming back to the game. The game has you running your own Steam storefront where you have to monitor your stats to assure they aren't too high or too low, otherwise its game over. The game suffers from some bugs such as no matter what the event is, every time you swipe right on a card, your game count will increase by 1, even if the choice doesn't involve publishing a game to Steam and the confusing stat adjustments made in correspondence with your decisions (how does accepting games have the same positive influence on developers as when you deny them?) Other than that, the game is fun for the buck, addicting and I'm sure to spend more time in it.
Despite some stabs at humor, the game is very meh. Reigns style gameplay. Choose what to develop, or not, keeping your main stats in balance. It is FINE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py0IS29pMCo
Steamulator 2019 is supposed to be a simulator about running an online game store. It's nothing to write home about and the game seems to do what it wants despite the choices you make. But... it's cheap so if you want to add it to you Steam library take a look at my video to see what it offers... https://youtu.be/jS-PFHaz4ys Thanks for watching.

horrible game, i bought this in a bundle with a couple decent games though so i cant refund it:(
Huh??? That was different. Ok it is set up like Reigns, you choose yes or no to releasing various games onto your store platform. The problems are many (too few game choices, game seems pointless, humor often very flat, just seems to end after 3 mins of game play??). It does work though, and it is kind of unique, so it gets some point there. I would guess it was a bit of a joke game that ended up being a bit bigger then they thought it would be. Still overall it's just not that great. Yes it is "fun" to choose to release or NOT to release a slew of Steam games but that joy is quickly overcome by the extremely short playtime and the so-so mini games. So long story short, Do you need it (NO) do you think you want it (YES). Keep your money and buy a gumball from the grocery store, it will last longer.
Has a good feedback loop with an entertaining presentation, but the game is somewhat pointless. Without enough information about your choices - their positive or negative effects - it resembles a repeating crapshoot punctuated with subpar minigame clones. Still, good graphics, cheerful music, and fun references save what could have been flat-out bad. For that reason, I recommend Steamlulator 2019 to savvy Steam nerds - the target audience - but not much else. More development time could have made this one great and fixed bugs.
I don't even know what I'm supposed to do when I play this game. Then again, neither does Steam and they seem to be doing ok. This Steam review update has been sponsored by the Steam Autumn sales.
