gameplay5 positive mentions
optimization5 negative mentions
  • The game offers a cozy atmosphere with an attractive Japanese theme and immersive graphics, creating a pleasant simulation experience.
  • Gameplay includes a fun and addictive store management loop with unique features like mini games, collectibles, and exploration in a small open-world town.
  • Developers actively update the game, showing responsiveness to feedback and potential for growth and improvement over time.
  • Optimization is poor, resulting in frequent crashes, performance issues, and high resource usage even on powerful PCs, making the game sometimes unplayable.
  • The gameplay and content are limited and become repetitive quickly, with early completion possible and lacking depth, customization, and meaningful progression.
  • Numerous bugs and design flaws affect enjoyment, including AI-generated content controversies, limited NPC variety and behavior, frustrating UI and controls, and unresolved game-breaking glitches.

  • gameplay

    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    19% positive mentions, 69% neutral mentions, 12% negative mentions

    The gameplay offers a charming and relaxing simulator experience with enjoyable mechanics and a pleasant "Japan-style" setting, though it currently lacks depth and variety. Many players find the core loop short and repetitive, with some progression gated behind lengthy, labor-intensive achievements, and certain mechanics like second-hand sales and repairs feeling unbalanced. Overall, the gameplay shows strong potential but needs significant content additions, optimization, and refinement to fully engage players long-term.

    • “The graphics are beautiful. This is my go-to for video game simulation. I love the different weather, rain and sunny days. Online orders are fun and now you can rent arcades. Very fun relaxing game, no bugs, no issues. I really enjoy the gameplay.”
    • “The retro game packs were exceptional value in general, but collecting 1000 took the longest of all the achievements, as it is labor intensive and requires at minimum 30 days (machines refresh partially ~twice per day and have 9 to start, so 18 per day + another 9-18 from restocks means you can get ~30-35 per day). In general, these long term farming achievements took probably 50-60 of my 73 played hours. The gameplay currently available is very short. Second-hand video games have little to no value for the amount of labor, and all repairs cost you far more than the return value is worth, so as of now second-hand video game sales and repairs only hurt your wallet and reputation without providing any gameplay value without a significant redesign.”
    • “Overall very early but gameplay is good enough if you like the genre; you can see where the polish needs to go and the potential it has.”
    • “I really like the concept and a huge fan of sim games, but this is poorly optimized and very limited in terms of gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay loop is fully explored within an hour or two and the rest is just farming/repetition of the same concepts.”
    • “Poor design decision to have some achievements locked behind such time sinks (1000 pack openings/500 online deliveries); you'll be finished with the gameplay loop long before hitting either of these goals.”

  • graphics

    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 44% neutral mentions, 13% negative mentions

    The game's graphics are generally praised for their beautiful, immersive Japanese-themed visuals and modern features like ray tracing and DLSS support, creating a smooth and cozy atmosphere. However, some users note issues such as lack of life in the environment, occasional blurry textures, and performance problems that indicate the need for further optimization and polishing. Overall, while visually appealing, the graphics feel unfinished to some, impacting the overall experience.

    • “The graphics are way better than I expected, and the fact that it supports ray tracing, DLSS, and frame generation really makes the whole experience feel smooth and modern.”
    • “The graphics are excellent, and it supports modern features like DLSS, MFG, and ray reconstruction, although ray reconstruction does not seem to work for me yet.”
    • “The graphics and environment look great, it runs smoothly on my PC, and overall it’s been a really fun experience.”
    • “Very fun game, only graphically it's a bit disappointing; the customers look like zombies, and the rain looks more like a waterfall.”
    • “The game ran a bit poorly even on the lowest graphic settings; my computer runs other games of similar and higher requirements just fine.”
    • “My game looks different from the video as a lot of the graphics look fuzzy and blurry (trees especially, water used to but that seems to have been fixed) – best way to describe it is like old TV noise on empty channels.”

  • optimization

    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    15% positive mentions, 60% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The game currently suffers from poor optimization, causing high CPU usage, overheating, and low frame rates even on mid-range systems, which significantly hampers gameplay and user experience. While it has great potential and impressive visuals, many players find performance issues severe enough to prevent recommendation until improvements are made. Developers are urged to prioritize optimization to enhance smoothness and overall playability.

    • “I think this game has tremendous potential with its beautiful visuals and fun gameplay systems but a lot of optimization is needed before I can recommend it.”
    • “With significant optimization, better visuals, proper localization, and general polish, this could be something decent but at the moment, it feels like an early prototype instead of an early access.”
    • “I could ignore AI art if the game itself played properly, but this game has zero optimization done to the point that a store simulator runs at 20 fps even indoors.”
    • “In this game, the CPU usage is unusually high (around 70%), which suggests serious issues with draw calls or internal logic optimization.”
    • “Also, there's some need for optimization; my 5600 CPU and 6650 XT reached 100 Celsius on low settings with FSR on.”

  • music

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    30% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    Users generally find the music in the game repetitive and artificial, criticizing the presence of AI-generated songs and conflicting styles like Turkish music in a Japan-themed setting. While some enjoy collecting music drops and appreciate the Japanese stylization, many call for improved, more authentic, and varied music choices to enhance the experience.

    • “I enjoyed finding the random loot boxes around the town and collecting the music drops by jumping roofs and planks around the island.”
    • “There’s a song that plays on a hologram in the background on day 1.”
    • “Since the game is based in Japan, I appreciate there is Japanese music instead of Turkish songs.”
    • “One of the first things you see is a gen AI anime girl/vtuber hologram singing a song that is clearly AI-generated.”
    • “10 - The music on the radio is not good, just a few tracks that keep repeating.”
    • “Since the game is based in Japan, I would appreciate Japanese music instead of Turkish songs.”

  • grinding

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game becomes tedious and labor-intensive, especially when pursuing long-term achievements that require extensive real-time farming, often detracting from enjoyment. While the core gameplay is engaging for about 20 hours, repetitive tasks like managing orders, second-hand sales, and item placement feel unnecessarily cumbersome without significant redesigns or quality-of-life improvements. Overall, grinding shifts from fun to a chore, highlighting a need for more features and better mechanics to sustain player interest.

    • “The gameplay loop is fully explored within an hour or two and the rest is just farming/repetition of the same concepts.”
    • “It was beyond tedious to farm the achievements, as getting enough accumulated online orders to quickly fill them all with my vast overstock of the ~20 games on two console varieties, along with various versions of the xbox/playstation parodies, required me to leave the game on overnight/through the day twice.”
    • “The retro game packs were exceptional value in general, but collecting 1000 took the longest of all the achievements, as it is labor intensive and requires at minimum of 30 days (machines refresh partially ~twice per day and have 9 to start, so 18 per day + another 9-18 from restocks means you can get ~30-35 per day). In general, these long-term farming achievements took probably 50-60 of my 73 played hours. The gameplay currently available is very short. Second-hand video games have little to no value for the amount of labor, and all repairs cost you far more than the return value is worth, so as of now second-hand video game sales and repairs only hurt your wallet and reputation (for ignoring) without providing any gameplay value without a significant redesign.”

  • humor

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is appreciated for its clever and amusing fake game titles, mechanics, and references to classic games, which provide genuine laughs. While some elements come off as janky or unnecessarily complicated, the comedic touches add a fun and enjoyable layer to the overall experience.

    • “Interesting pre-review note: many of the 'games' in this game are real, which is hilarious, because many of them seem improbably or needlessly unnecessary as games.”
    • “The fake games, systems, and mechanics are genuinely funny, and there are some nice callouts to classic games that made me smile.”
    • “What really got me laughing, though, are the game titles.”

  • stability

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game's stability is inconsistent, with some users experiencing frequent glitches, bugs, and freezes that disrupt gameplay and prevent saving or task management, while others report minimal issues over extended playtime. Overall, stability remains a significant concern for many players.

    • “Bugs and freezes every time I play.”
    • “Sometimes when you move something it glitches and suddenly the menu shows 10 options, and you cannot save or cancel any task.”
    • “I really, really, really want to play this game but it's a buggy nightmare.”

  • atmosphere

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users generally praise the game's atmosphere, describing it as fantastic, cozy, and immersive despite typical early access quirks.

    • “Like any early access game, it has its quirks, but the overall atmosphere is great and feels very cozy.”
    • “At this stage of development, I can say that the atmosphere of the game is fantastic.”

  • monetization

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Users criticize the game's monetization for excessive in-game advertisements, including promotions for upcoming releases and other low-quality games, which detracts from the overall experience.

    • “I didn't believe it until I saw them recommended on Steam (one game is basically an advertisement for an upcoming release by the same developer, though).”
    • “Besides this, the game world is full of advertisements for other 'slop' games that are on Steam.”

  • story

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The story is primarily conveyed through quest-related visuals, with limited activation outside of these moments.
