I've heard a lot about this game but I literally cannot play it. Whenever I boot it, it acts like all of the .dll files you're supposed to include aren't there and then even if I download them I just get a 'trouble loading mono' error.
Buddy chill out he's trying to help..... Like I mean he is the dev and I think you just being stupid ab it like if your having problems delete and redownload it! Like geez dude 😞
Absolutely have no idea what to do when a customer catches you, you can't run away from them, the staff doors are closed, and you just die if you don't do "something" that I can't figure out. At first I thought I needed to maybe bring customers to an aisle they ask for? But one guy just said "sugar is good for you" and that was it. What does this game want me to do?
The customers are asking you to direct them to the aisle of the product they are looking for. "Sugar is good for you" means he wants you to take you to the candy aisle. Others will be more direct, and say they want new clothes or furniture but others are implying more of what they want. You have to take them to the aisle and you have 3 attempts which are the arrows on the aisle so if you go through an aisle that isn't the right one you'll get a mark against you. Three marks and you lose.
Really like the look of the game, but with no mouse sensitivity settings I can barely play with a low dpi mouse. Hope the devs add this feature in the future.
The downloaded rar file cannot be open nor extracted from (i'm using 7zip). Tried redownloading, tried 'right-click >7zip > Extract Here', tried just opening. Every time an error pops up stating "Cannot open file as an archive."
edit: problem was running an outdated version of 7zip.
I am, yes. The file type is showing as "WinRAR archive" while most other files show as "WinRAR ZIP archive" and i've tried WinRAR and 7-Zip and nothing (I don't know if this is relevant but I just thought I'd mention it)
Edit: WinZIP worked. I got an error message saying some file was not working correctly but it managed to extract the game regardless and it´s working. I don't know if this will cause any problems with the game but everything is working great so far.
The realism in this game is the scariest thing to be honest. Retail hell is real and it is definitely shown in this rendition. Only thing is I have no idea how to run away from the manager before getting fired. Perhaps this is the exact replication of how life is.
I can't play it, for whatever reason, the shelves wont stack and theres weird glitches prohibiting me from making any progress. I bought this through the BLM bundle.
Well firts go into your libary it will only display the games youve installed. Now hit bundles and it will show the BLM bundle. Hit that and it should bring you to a list of games to install.
try using windows explorer, it can work with zips... and also, maybe you already know this but make sure that you extract all of the contents of the zip to your desired folder
Good game but to all of those who are finding the game a little hard to beat. Try the videgame box glitch. Get a video game box and throw it against a wall and another will come keep doing this until you get 10 put them right at the video game section and you only need to stack the shelf twice all you have to do after that is just keep hitting space. This game has strong replay value it reminds me of games from the 90s that you would get on a magazine or on a cereal box. And you'd just hit play and they were quite short but had real replay value. Though I am going to throw a box at someone the next time I hear "EXCUSE ME!"
I know but I think its easier jsut before starting the shift making a load of video game boxes and put them beside the video game isle. Then stack the shelf and before you know it you beat the game.
dude please stop fucking complaining... just because your ten years old doesn't mean you get free shit. Look if you really want the game then mow the lawn or something so your parents will buy it for you idgaf.
1. There should be some custom game options like number of customers, rudeness of customers, boxes per aisle, how big the store is, more employees in the store, time to complete, etc. Or to make it easier, there should be different difficulty settings. Easy, Normal (what this is already), hard, extreme, impossible.
2. The aisles should be more customized to that particular aisle, like the clothing aisle is.
3. If you stand still or move very little for 5 seconds when your not stocking, you get 1 strike. When you get 3 strikes, your fired.
4. There should be a story mode to the game (the mode that the game currently is could be a practice mode, with the settings I mentioned earlier) and the difficulty of the game increases. Lets say for the sake of discussion, the game takes place in August (retail stores are very early to the holidays). Later levels could have more customers, ruder customers, etc.
Thank you so much for making a retail centered horror game. I've never worked in retail, but I can assure you this game is nothing short of reality from what I've heard. lol
I think you will absolutely get a kick out of this. I haven't RAGED so hard at a game in YEARS! I literally snapped there, especially at the end. I can't wait to play your future projects!
Love the game so far, definitely an accurate recreation of my trauma as a grocery clerk!
Really need a proper controls screen though and maybe an exit button. I have to max out my mouse sensitivity to play and I can't figure out how to exit so I end up just opening the task manager to end it.
If you guys don't know which engine is this game made of, it's actually called unity and it uses blender to make the characters with some picture editing softwares to make a pixelated pictures and textures to put on the characters and low-poly graphics 3d look lol

32bit or 64 bit windows?
Same. It took a bit of fiddling to get it to launch.
So It's true what they say retail work really Is HELL. My shift did not end well. YouTube: MrMBenting
Love this game! Cant wait for update (if they are working on it)
It would be nice to have a way to go back to the main menu without closing the game (that would help us speedrunners a lot)
For some reason I can't select anything in the menu, or even input anything other than WASD and ALT + F4 to exit, can I get some help on this?
Press Space to make a selection at the menu.
I said that I CANT INPUT anything else that means I tried spacebar.
Buddy chill out he's trying to help..... Like I mean he is the dev and I think you just being stupid ab it like if your having problems delete and redownload it! Like geez dude 😞

It will be added in the new update, sorry about that.
Thank you :) Love the design and great humour, some of the characters remind me of those from Toejam and Earl

edit: problem was running an outdated version of 7zip.
I have the same issue, it says "the archive is either in unknown format or damaged". Did you find a solution?
Are y'all definitely running it through Windows 10 64-bit? This is the first time i've heard of this issue.
I am, yes. The file type is showing as "WinRAR archive" while most other files show as "WinRAR ZIP archive" and i've tried WinRAR and 7-Zip and nothing (I don't know if this is relevant but I just thought I'd mention it)

Game won't let me take items out of the box to put things on the shelf.
I had the same issue and reinstalled
Can't grab an item out of a box to put on the shelf.
anyone know what the system requirements for this game are?
It doesn't seem like a very heavy game, I think most rigs can handle it just fine

what the hell do you do when the guy says "i need something to clean my skin with"
nvm i just remembered there's a health and beauty isle
I need help to install and download!
Dowload it and then unzip the zip file to a folder you choose
Literally couldn't unzip it with 7zip, was unable to play though I got it for free.
How did you get it for free did you pirate it?
No, I "bought" it through the BLM bundle. There's a thousand games so it feels like I got this one for free.
Well firts go into your libary it will only display the games youve installed. Now hit bundles and it will show the BLM bundle. Hit that and it should bring you to a list of games to install.
7zip didnt work for me either, but winrar did.
try using windows explorer, it can work with zips... and also, maybe you already know this but make sure that you extract all of the contents of the zip to your desired folder
right click .rar file > hover over 7-Zip > then click Extract (wherever you want it to be)
what I did was put the .rar file in a separate folder and then clicked Extract Here
Really fun and great to look at, comedic, great satire and the good kind of frustration. Beat it two times, great stuff.
Good game but to all of those who are finding the game a little hard to beat. Try the videgame box glitch.

You can actually just sort the stock in each aisle before stacking the first shelf. The timer doesn't start until you start stacking the first shelf.
I know but I think its easier jsut before starting the shift making a load of video game boxes and put them beside the video game isle. Then stack the shelf and before you know it you beat the game.
Very good game
Please, add vr support
im a dev too, and you know how this shit is hard
Me: Heh Heh I'm in danger.
Good Game. I only played until The manager got up close and made me screech.
Can we have it on Mac?
I loved this game! The tone and art style are so good!
I don't think retail is the job for me! The customers are ruthless hahaha! Great game, very challenging!
pls make the game free cause im only ten and my mom and dad wont buy it for me

He won't make it free because one person can't get it because their mommy won't allow them to.

Sorry dude, rules are rules.
dude please stop fucking complaining... just because your ten years old doesn't mean you get free shit. Look if you really want the game then mow the lawn or something so your parents will buy it for you idgaf.
truly "Night Of The Consumers", LOL
Nice game! I have some ideas for you.

Hope these ideas make it into the game!
ngl the simplicity makes the game what it is and i like that, i dont think a story mode or other game modes would be necessary
super good game I love it keep up the good work!

This game connects with me on a new plane of existence.
