This game is great! I hope you continue working on this game or continue with this style of graphics; i feel there's a huge potential behind this game. Add something behind that "secret" door too :o
I am also having issues with dialogue not to mention how often the woman with the baby is so far away from her child it is an automatic gameover. By the way how many shelves do we have to stock? Is it five?
Sometimes when a customer comes up to me, their dialogue won't load until maybe 5 or 6 seconds later but the countdown is still going, causing them to get the manager too early. This is definitely seen with the mother customer, as while also being nearly unbeatable later in the game. Is there any way to make the dialogue load faster?
This game came at the perfect time because this is exactly how the world is right now buying toilet paper.. I think This game has a really good future ahead 😂
As a grocery store employee of 9 years and counting, I can safely say this game perfectly represents how I feel dealing with the entitled general public and asshole managers... Fantastic game! Made me rage quit! 10/10 will make another video soon!
idea: For realism, a portentially nice customer that does not bother you when you are stocking, or snitch on you if you are bad... but only twice it will work
Ok then, what's the problem? Put the money on your account (doesn't work like that also, buddy) if you want to play this game. It's not that hard. You get to have some fun, and get to support the developer.
Could you by any chance tell us who made the music or upload/make the soundtrack available for purchase? :) I'm genuinely in love with the synthy PS1 vibe it gives off. Super cool game!!! Keep up the good work!
This game was a lot of fun and RAGE INDUCING! Lol. I love games with humor and old style graphics. This game was pretty hard to complete as the AI runs really fast and there are a few minor glitches that can cause some problems. It seems you can prepare ahead of time by loading the shelves with all but one of each item before activating the customers. However, recent patch notes seems to indicate that was resolved.
I may or may not have screamed at my monitor a few times in a fit of rage. Lol.
Awesome work. I hope this game gets expanded or has a sequel!
Definitely potential here. I had a lot of fun playing this and was sad when it ended. I'll be keeping an eye out for future updates, for sure! Only minor issue I had with the game was that it felt like after helping a consumer find the aisle they wanted it would be a very short amount of time before they'd come after me again. Which was especially annoying if they wanted to go to the same aisle I was hoping to stock shelves in, although this may very well be by design. Other than that, as someone who has worked in retail for more years than I care to admit, I loved it. The character designs and voices are awesome!
Since the game starts only when you finished stocking the first shelf, you can make it a lot easier on yourself by placing all the boxes right in front of where they should go before the game starts. You can even stock every shelf with just one item missing. Might be intended but it makes the first have of the game quite boring where you just play "normal" shelf stocker without customers, and the actual game super easy.
Dropping (not throwing) a box makes you automatically pick it back up about half the time, was quite confusing at first as I thought there was some areas I wasn't allowed to leave a box, that was until I just started throwing them instead.
Throwing a box while in stocking mode bugs the game out a bit until you press space to exit.
The baby customer becomes almost (or always?) unbeatable later in the game, ran as fast as I could to where the baby was but got game over before I even saw it. Seems like you get too little time to find it in some cases later in the game.
Again, otherwise love the core gameplay and the artstyle, hope you keep polishing this!

This game is killing me! I HATE THE MANAGER!!
Will this game ever release on Steam or GOG?
It's already DRM free so theres no point to have it on GOG. Same goes for Steam, now you're taking a DRM free game and trying to put DRM in it lol
This game is great! I hope you continue working on this game or continue with this style of graphics; i feel there's a huge potential behind this game. Add something behind that "secret" door too :o
if this does well enough will you add to steam

This gave me real scares and PTSD from working retail for over 5 years. Someone please help me
THIS GAME WAS SO GOOD , I honestly didn’t think it would be this fire !
I got this game because of Jay from KubScoutz and I'm absolutely loving it!
This game was so much fun!!! Even did a freestyle in the beginning!!! A few jumpscares too. I hope you enjoy the gameplay!!!

@Germfood I suppose there’s no way for me to spend money I made on here on this game?
I'm totally gonna play this tonight on stream. Kubz Scouts looks like he is having a blast playing. Awesome game! Here is my twitch
Is there any links or information on the soundtrack?

This was by far one of the funniest games I have ever had the pleasure of playing as well as one of the funniest videos I have ever created.
Developer, thank you so much for putting this game out here and showing all of us. You really knocked it out of the park.
I had an absolute BLAST with this. What a fun experience. (and relatable, to an extent, lol).

Loved the game... also, without spoiling
i found something... "Breakable"
Is there anyway through or....is it an easter egg?
You can get through! Pick up a box and keep throwing it at the cracks.
He meant pass the wall, that door ...
By buying the game, we become the customers we fear. Never before have I played a game with such daring meta-commentary.
Could you by any chance tell us who made the music or upload/make the soundtrack available for purchase? :) I'm genuinely in love with the synthy PS1 vibe it gives off. Super cool game!!! Keep up the good work!
You should open up Steam page so we can wishlist it.
You can add it to your collection it's the same thing.
On steam? I already brought it from here.
No you can put it in your collection on itch.
That's not what I meant but whatever.
Fun little game! Is there any plans for more content/updates?
This game was soo firee LOVED IT. Keep up the great work My experience

Its a really stressful game but really fun
I really didn't enjoy the game, all I did was get really frustrated and rage quit.
get good
Looks like a fun game and a commentary about our society (:D).
Also, the game reminds me of an old PC game called "Mall Mania"
This game is amazing (Style wise and gameplay)
Are you going to be making a collection of these games? Somewhat how Lakeview Cabin had like 4 other games in one collection?
I think a movie theater horror game would be kinda cool too, especially with this artwork, it's really unsettling and beautiful.
Very fun game! I have some feedback though:
Again, otherwise love the core gameplay and the artstyle, hope you keep polishing this!
Hello
I just read through your game description and I'd love to make a video on your game and post it here afterwards? Hopefully this is possible!
Have a great day!
^ . ^
I recorded this yesterday morning, I feel so behind since I couldn't edit it til this afternoon (I streamed a game for 13 hours, no joke)
Made a goofy video on it, but first of all, this game is super fun, touve managed to make one of my favorite games of this type, good job!
(If my internet had been faster I'd have this here sooner, but oh well, better late than never!)
This game is crazy accurate coming from someone who's had a lot of these jobs :D this is a pretty dam hard game, but mark my words, I will beat it...
This was what I expected lol the retail horror experience thank you!!
