A lovely little game. This is less a management simulator and more of an easy-going decoration game where you happen to own a shop. It's not challenging and it's not supposed to be. Place your little trinkets on shelves, organize as much as you can, and every now and then help someone work through grief by selling them things or accepting their donations. Delivers on all its promises and doesn't overstay its welcome.
The game is very cute and colorful. I can tell a lot of care went into the design and gameplay. I love the design and how it's LGBTQIA+ friendly. The graphics are adorable and it's very pleasing to arrange all the items. I love that the shelves have a lot of space on them and you can fit a lot of stuff. The downside for me is that after playing for over 5 hours I feel like I've seen all there is to see and it's getting very repetitive. I keep getting many of the same items in the same colors over and over again. I think the game would benefit from having twice as many items and more variety. For example: I got 4 pairs of purple sunglasses before I ever saw another color or type of glasses (I eventually got one orange pair of sunglasses and one other type of glasses but that's it so far). Also the patrons will come in at the same time wearing the exact same clothes in the exact same colors. As for extra and repeat items, I would love to have a "sale" function where you can put items you want to get rid of on sale. I don't love that we have to buy most boxes but can't do any sort of trading, we just have to "recycle" the stuff we got too many of. I also think there could be more variety in styles of clothes. There are so many different toys but seemingly way less variety in clothes options. The patrons and my own character have cuter clothes than I have seen so far in the boxes (even if I think they could also use more variety). I want to buy more clothing boxes but most boxes seem to be half "stuff." I would also love bigger rooms instead of more rooms as the rooms are small and more could be done with them design wise if we had more space. Because we only see the rooms from one angle, if you want to put a tall shelf on the "south" side of the room it blocks the view of everything in front of it which limits the space you can decorate. I'm also new to steam so I am not great at playing with the keyboard and I really wish I could play this with my controller. Lastly, figured there would be more "life" to the game. Like that as the player I would have a home (maybe a room upstairs) that I could decorate. Even if it's just something simple, it would be cool to be able to buy an item or two from the store for yourself per day and decorate your attic room.

I've played Spellgarden Games' other games such as Sticky Business and Ritual of Raven its an affordable cozy pixelated romp. I do enjoy the isometric set up of your In-Game Thrift Store and how soothing it is to sort and display your stock sold in the shop. I also find the customer storylines heartwarming. Alongside how some of the customer storylines tie back to their previous games such as Sticky Business alongside certain items you can sell as easter eggs such as Traps and Pterosaurs from Ritual of Raven and the crow plushie. However I do have to say that once you complete the stories there's not much else to do in the game progression wise aside from upgrading and decorating your shop. I will say that I like how affordable the game is and it's fairly short playtime. I do hope there will be potential future updates and more storylines added to the game as it's got a lot of potential. But other than that this game is awesome for what you get and I'm glad the Devs are still cranking out games.
This is a fun organization game with great little stories that intertwine. The only thing that bugged me was the end game. It becomes very tedious to place items and keep things stocked. I wish there was an easier way to handle trash as well, once you deck out your place some trash pieces are hard to see.
Great cozy game! Low stakes, easy progression, engaging design and characters. Big replay value, too, even once you know the stories! [b] If you like Unpacking and/or Sticky Business, you'll probably like this one ❤︎ [/b] I wish we had the ability to decorate the event room beyond wallpaper/floor, or a player office/break room for us to decorate with items. The items wouldn't sell, but I wouldn't mind!
What a lovely cosy game. A mix of tidying/putting same items together, management and charming stories. I also love that it's oriented around LGBTQ+ community! Would love to see more rooms and different categories added
很合我胃口的一款游戏,做梦都在玩
very lovely little game where you organize things on shelves (in itself an interesting take on a core puzzle for a game like this) and then you sell the things. gameplay loop is simple but really enjoyable, and the additional aspects (like the character objectives and dialogue) add a nice charm.
10/10 desde q joguei a demo ate apos o lançamento pra quem gosta de jogos cozy e decoraçao eh uma escolha perfeita
honestly this game is probably one of the best store simulators out there, its so cozy, the interactions are so cute, i love that you can plan events for people to gather in your store, and if you plan accordingly, the gathered people will look at things that fit with the event theme, and maybe even buy them! the creators of this game also made sticky business, and im obsessed with both!!! I am excited for the future of this company, and the many other games they might do, and or if they ever do DLC's for this game, im excited!!!
