The game is fun and definitely has potential, but it’s missing variety in several areas. First, there isn’t much décor or customization for the store. It would be nice to have more options to make your shop feel unique Customers and items also start to feel repetitive. After a while you keep seeing the same types of people bringing in the same items. This becomes very noticeable in the endgame. I currently have over **600k and everything maxed out**, and at that point progression basically stops. The **certificate progression** was enjoyable, but once you complete them all there’s not much left to work toward. I also ran into a bug where the **Media certificate never completed** because I never had a customer come in with a media item. Another issue is the offers you get in the late game. Even with a fully upgraded shop, customers still come in trying to sell **low-value items like shovels, bracelets, and toys**. At this stage of the game, those deals feel pointless. I end up denying almost everyone unless they bring in **treasure maps**, which are the only items that really make good money. The game would really benefit from: * **Workers or employees** to help run the shop * **More customer variety** * **More interesting and valuable items** appearing in late game * **Better scaling offers** as your shop becomes more successful Right now, running the shop solo gets repetitive. You make a deal, put the item on the shelf, and a minute later it sells. That part feels satisfying, but you can’t really fill your shop with items just for decoration because if you price them normally they sell almost immediately. The only way to keep things on display is to **overprice them**, which feels a bit awkward. Overall, I’d say the game is **very enjoyable for about 10 hours**, but after that it starts to feel repetitive once you reach the endgame. That said, the core gameplay is solid and the game has **a lot of potential** if more content, variety, and systems are added.

One of the most successful trading games I've ever seen, definitely worth the money.

I'm going to leave a positive review because my time has been relatively enjoyable, but people should also know that this game still needs a little time in the oven and would have been great as typical early access release rather than a 1.0 The positives, the game loop is very enjoyable. You can lose hours playing if you aren't paying attention. There's a decent variety of items to play with and the haggling system and pawn system is mostly fun As for the negatives, there is a LOT to do in this game and it can get overwhelming fast. There needs to be an employee system or at least some kind of automated checkout for people trying to buy items just to get them out of the way. Towards end game when you get your rep up, there are so many customers that stay in your store you don't have time to buy items, run them to the shelf, repair them, set a price and be able to keep up. I noticed an issue where I kept getting charged fees because pawns were lost and in reality it was just the game wasn't allowing the people into my shop because it was already full so it was counting it like I was closed. That's a real turn off. Also, the repair system needs some serious tweaking. Pretty much every item you have to repair and it's very time consuming. I think what we have now is great when your knowledge is low, but the fail rate should be non-existent or it should be instant with x amount of dollars once you're maxed out on knowledge. Once you're in that mid game mark it's really anxiety inducing. The roomba that you can buy is a nice touch to ease some of the busywork you have to do, but there still needs to be a bit more automation. I hope this is helpful to people looking to buy and for the developers. Again, super solid game, it's been a fun 8 hours or so that I've played on it but I'm not sure I can keep going until some of the above issues are addressed.

I really like this game but then again I love pawn shop games (like the old facebook pawn stars game) and mindless business sims. First the pros: 1. The game is intuitive 2. glitches are not game breaking (at least I have not encountered any) 3. the formula is fun 4. the tutorial is cute. 5. Being able to dumpster dive and restore items is an awesome quirky addition 6. Slipper throwing mechanic at robbers is hilarious Now for the things that should be added or need improving: 1. The progression is weird, I have played 12 hours made thousands yet it still feels like certain item types are totally out of reach like weapons due to needing a license and apparently you can take a huge attraction debuff that is not clear in the game from failing. 2. There needs to be a greater variety of NPCs after about the first 5 hours I interact with the same people repeatedly 3. There needs to be the ability to hire employees, the most obvious being a checkout counter employee. 4. There needs to be more decor options and customization options generally (side note, it might be cool to have certain purchasable "decor" that can go both ways, like an instore dog or cate that adds to attraction but also creates more mess to clean (this could add some depth to purchases to where it isn't always an improvement) 5. We need a greater variety in music, the current music is a vibe it would just be nice to have more 6. There is currently no debuff for staying up all night working, I don't mind it but it seems a bit unrealistic. Perhaps adding a skills debuff like losing negotiation points or something for not getting at least a few hours of rest a day would incentivize the player to 7. Experts seem kind of useless as of right now 8. VERY IMPORTANT ONE: Profit upon sale should be true profit, not just what you paid vs what you sell. What I mean by this is repair costs should be included in that calculus. If possible so should hold time vs rent costs. But the former is way more material. 9. There should potentially be an online sales aspect to the game, ideally where you can hire an employee to sell certain goods online 10. Adding the ability to create an office for yourself (potentially a requirement for hiring employees) 11. For extremely high value items it would be nice to be able to have an "auction house" option that is riskier than selling it instore, you could get a lot more or a lot less. 12. You should be able to sell plants and cases you buy to the public (albeit for a lot less than you bought it for) Overall while this game has a lot of room to grow, it is fun and that's what matter. I can def recommend this game at the sale price point I got it at which was about 11 USD.

Haven't had this much fun with a simulator game in a long time. I genuinely turned evil. Turns out I love overcharging people and feel a really sadistic urge to haggle all the time so they pay more and sell to me for less. All this just for that high when they accept my offer, and then I spend the money to get a cute little plant for my shop. I’ll definitely be playing this for hours on end!!!
