Is fun, not very low player count friendly though. Would like for trash picking to be a bit less annoying and for there to be a cleaner employee+access to employees earlier for low player counts. Please add the motel next! Would be fun.

Fun but definitely needs to ditch the AI assets and needs some serious optimization It doesnt matter what i have my graphics settings at the game seems to consistently use like 80% GPU on 3D rendering Would also be nice to be able to adjust the time the lights turn on at current its nearly pitch black before they turn on, as well as some more staff options like staff to clean up trash/oil and whatnot and staff to stock shelves. The employee hiring prices are also stupidly high and need to be adjusted ... i shouldnt cost nearly 2 whole days of profit just to hire a 1 star employee for the gas station/market that price makes them prohibitively expensive Its also extremely hard to see oil stains on the ground if its raining so that could use some attention as well

Having just started the game there are 2 areas that make zero sense: There needs to be cleaners involved and definitely attendants for car wash operations. The game charges for maintenance when there is none done. These issues should have been considered when addressing QOL patches. If you are doing the solo campaign you will be running around trying to do it all because the options suck and the employees screw up a lot. I can hire employees for astronomical prices that are required by the agency which is ridiculous. The devs should have play tested this game more before release and I am surprised that PlayWay is attached to this team as the publisher and have let these extremely limited options occur. I enjoy simulators and love PlayWay but this game is beyond frustrating in a few ways. I don't know about you guys but it is not fun to have to fight the game itself when they supposedly patched in QOL improvements. I want maintenance workers, I want to hire someone to stock the shelves, I want expansions and choices that make sense. Also the devs need to look at the target tracing for picking up trash, the smallest pieces of litter remain a challenge as the hit boxes are so tiny and movements are janky. It's things like what I have mentioned that can bring this title down. I so want this game to succeed and I want the devs to think about patching these things in to make that possible. The play for the most part is good, the graphics are beautifully detailed and I have not had a single crash even playing the highest settings. That's why I CAN recommend this game with caveats: limited options for staff and costs of hiring them being outrageous. Hit box markers need expansion for small objects and for the love of gaming make QOL improvements that make the game playable for even solo gamers. Sure it could be so much better to choose multiplayer but I should not have to. Fix this game and I will play it till there is nothing left to Bit**h about.
