  This game is extremely fun for some reason, the art style really fits the game and it's just so fun to play!

  This game very much makes you feel like your working in a store. You have to do it all. Keep the store clean, wait on customers,order inventory, bust thieves. At some point you can also develop games. If you wanna feel the struggle of what it is like to make money in a business this is a pretty interesting game. Really didn't run into any bugs but then again only played for 1.2 hours. For the current price I have to give it a thumbs up.

  It's a fun game, good concept. A little too much tedious clicking for my liking but a great effort on the side of the developer.

  This game is just all over the place. It doesn't know what it wants to be or what it is about - half of the mechanics don't make any sense at all. So... you start out and pick the tutorial, where it throws 15 screens of text at you explaining the buttons instead of walking you through gameplay like most titles. No biggie though, the game mechanics aren't too hard. There's an intro. A guy is leaving you in charge of his video game store for a month. If it earns enough money, he'll give you the store after that. Then the game starts out and you pick the merchandise you want to sell. It's a resource management type of thing. You have to physically put that stock on the shelves, too Next you open the store. It puts you behind the cash register and throws as many customers at you in one minute as you'd see in a real Gamestop in a day. You've got to scan stuff, answer customer questions from memory about the review scores on your games, and at the same time make sure no-one is stealing anything. This seems to be the primary focus of the game, such that it has one, and it was far too fast moving to be fun for me. I know I wasn't going to catch any thieves. All that might be personal taste though. You can hire employees. So if I don't like working the register, I can pay someone to do that, right? No. The employees are not for your shop. They're for a video game development studio which for some reason, you are running at the same time as you manage a brick and mortar gaming retail business. I don't know what the deal is with the video game development part. I know how to hire employees for it. I know how to assign them. What I don't know is why I'm performing tasks like that as a video game store manager, or what happens if I do well or poorly at them. You also have a family at home. Each of them have heart symbols representing their love for you. You need to continually pay them or their heart symbols drop and eventually they leave you. As someone who actually has their own family, I can assure you that it doesn't work like that IRL. But even if the family does leave, it doesn't matter as the game still goes on and those family members play no role in winning or losing. AFAIK it's all about impressing that one guy who talked to you at the beginning of the game. So I don't know what the whole point of the family is either. I'm assuming this went through some playtesting before release. Any tester worth his salt should have said, "Look. The family doesn't add anything. Get rid of that. The whole game development studio aspect doesn't make any sense and has nothing to do with managing a store. Get rid of that, too. Make the financial part deeper. Keep employee hiring a thing but make it so they can help you with the register and/or stocking if either of those things aren't fun for the player." If this game had actually kept to being a shop manager, it might have been OK. But it didn't. It tried to be more and became less.

  Apparently, the developer decided to start a new game before finishing this one. No new updates do until September according to the developer. The game is pretty boring in the current state. I cannot recommend.
