The Convenience Store possesses a distinct low poly charm that is both nostalgic and creepy in its own right. It's this particular aesthetic, coupled with the atmosphere of the store which makes this little game a good one. Even if you only play it twice to collect both endings and spot anything that you may have missed the first time around. It sounds ridiculous, yes. Especially for a game as small as this. But scoff as you may, I did manage to miss a detail of note the first time around.

The price is modest considering what it does offer you in the fleeting span of time you actually spend playing it. It doesn't bog you down with a ton of needless errands or thumb twiddling, nor does it rush you in the front door, shovel tacky jump scares down your gullet and boot you out the back door again. You're given enough to immerse yourself into the role of working the graveyard shift, while the insidious nature of the store starts to unravel all around you.

There are plenty of other little subtleties on tap here, but instead of highlighting them all for you I think it's best that you go discover and see them for yourself. The only real drawback for me was the story but even then; that's not really the centrepiece here. I would certainly hang out in this creepy little 24/7 convenience store after midnight again.
