Thrifty Business

love, love this game. i've completed all of the character stories but i still really enjoy this game. its really cozy and has a unique design that you dont really see often. i can tell that the developer of the game took their time making this game and really enjoyed it too. i own their other game 'sticky business' and that one is really fun too. i highly recommend this game and their other games if you want a cozy but addicting game to play :)

inclusive, fun game that's a bit mindless (in a good way!!). it's one of those "...I'll play just one more day" kind of games

Can easily spend hours organizing the store over and over, love it

very cute and fun game with nice storylines but i feel like once you finish their quest lines and the punch cards the game kinda stops because you can still hold events but no one talks to you after you finish it.

This is a very cozy game that is perfect for people who feel anxious from the fast, performative retail games out here:D This is just happy, colorful and cozy. It's easy to kill hours with playing this without noticing. I absolutely love it, the fact that I'm supporting a small, non-AI team with this is just the cherry on top:)

I think this game is really fun and charming, and it's pretty easy. The goals are very manageable and the graphics are pretty good. It has a really good gameplay loop and you can customize your store in endless ways. Overall I really enjoy it, and it's very addictive. I also like that it's inclusive of LGBTQ+ people, racial diversity, and disabilities. Here are some things I would personally like to see changed or added: - Add a "reset" button to the store so if I want to redo everything, I don't have to do so manually - Make it so there's separate storage for items that we as a player put into boxes when we put away furniture. If you have too much stock you end up not having enough boxes to change your store around. - More furniture themes and items. This game has a lot of great decoration items, but they're all in such specific themes. The only changing rooms are neon 80s themed, the only big comfy armchairs are hot pink and covered in clothes, etc. I personally wanted to do something really dark and gothic, but a lot of the furniture doesn't allow for that (even though the game has specific themed items for it, such as dark wallpaper/flooring, giant candelabras, etc.) - Wall decorations? - The ability to place individual items in the void. Sometimes I just wanna move some things around and don't want to have to open the storage menu. - More character customizing - it's at a great start, but to me it feels lackluster. Especially the clothes. - Make it so people actually use the decoration items! Why would we have chairs, changing rooms, food, and pool tables if the NPCs only come to the store to shop? I'd love to see them acting more like actual people. - Let us mix and match the wallpaper to the fences, stair banister, etc. All of the above is just suggestions or things I think would make the game better than currently. It's still a great game, and this list isn't to say it's bad. Also, I get that some of these might be really time-consuming, especially for an indie studio.

It's like a fantasy of what real inclusive community looks like. I wish the real world was more like this.

this is the best video game ever invented
