The dev (singular, which is very impressive so far) is updating this game (paid version) in big ways. :) This person seems to hear many voices. I am happy to say the numpad works for credit card reader. There's a storage door inside now. Huge update includes Hires/Stock Workers. So, you have both, Folks stocking shelves and cashiers (for a fee). It's good to be ready before unlocking. Meaning, having the shelves and products as you unlock the products packages. :)

The main game will possibly update again so I think it may be a good idea to recommend that you check out the paid version's discussions (Announcements is one of my fave to look into for some games). Mar 2024

I enjoyed this prologue. It was very relaxing, a bit tense during store hours if I was low on funds. Nicely staged. I love the visuals. There's not a lot to do in the way of variety, but what there is to do is easy to organize with time & gradually expand. Some state that ingredients on the shelf can disappear. It's been mentioned that if you pick up a shelf, then close it back up into a box, it will clear all shelves. So, I wouldn't do that if I were you. lol


Overview: Fun so far. I have 3 25 hours into the prologue. Sometimes is tedious, especially w/o full release and hiring.

You can get really quick with some practice, making it easier to stock shelves in between customers. Panic, run.. lol

Visuals are nice :D Though you may be tending to many characters/customers that look the same.

Don't forget to set the price and check the prices periodically. Watch for market price changes (more info in Update 2 section below).

It's only in English.
No achieves for prologue, but it is so addicting.

I do look forward to the full version. This one has a lot of potential. The ease of use is a pro :D The boxes can be thrown into the trash can outside. I'd rather recycle. That would be a nice add on. (my recycle pile is now very large)

Try the freebie and if you don't like it, not much is lost :D It's worth a shot if you think you may like this type of simulator.

Shop starts at 8AM with clock stopped, ends at 9PM. You can order supplies until 9PM.

Definitely a gem worth having a look at, imho (Im My Humble Opinion)

Please read other reviews and discussions for more information :D

Update:

I did find a bug? A box of valuables got stuck in my hands. I threw it away and was able to play again. I didn't really want to go troubleshooting. I wanted to play. lol
I've streamed it at twitch if anyone wants to see my experience with this prologue. How I am learning it, playing it, trying to keep up and share what I can. The bug can be seen in the clip as well.

Amateur Game Play Experience with this Prologue Game :)

I've gotten a bit further. I have unlocked a few more things that allow me to sell more.
Watch for price changes. The price tags glow in the dark. haha

Update 2 (Feb 2024) 25 Hours In:

Some notes I took right after game play while the memory was fresh. Sorry it's scattered like it is, but it is when I recall things best.

More about this game:

10 is the maximum purchase. Counts each item you add that goes into your cart.

Sometimes the customers buy in bulk. It is great if you have enough. You can purchase during the day if you have enough money and if you can get it on the shelves in time.

In the prologue, we do not get the storage area so I use whatever area I can find out of the way. The customers can walk through boxes :D but we can't. The tall boxes, we'll push them as we walk. The short ones, we'll usually just walk over them. There's about 4 box sizes that I've noticed. No indicators of what you can put in an already emptied box. You'll need to remember the box sizes for each product, which isn't incredibly difficult.

You can re-close the boxes up. haha I like that. Especially if I mistakenly open the box of items. There really was a lot of though put into this, however basic.

I don't want burglars but I do want a few regulars that eventually I could say hi to or something. Make it feel a bit less lonely. Sure there's all kinds of things I could ask for but I'm afraid to. Each thing requested adds to the effect on the game's stability.

Then again, their plans for the game sound like it'll be workable? Hire someone (wonder how that would work out). So far, imho, this is a fun and relaxing (yet a bit exciting during business hours) game that lets you be OCD, or creative, or super structured.

There is management of prices. Customers are happy with 1 cent below market, but you need to keep an eye on it. It can change. It usually shows the change in the top right each morning at 8 AM. Store hours are up to 9 PM but customers come in a bit after that. Thankfully the clock stops at 9 PM :)

The things that I noticed that were not as the game is intended to run (bouncing shelves/coolers were not game breaking).
