  • monetization
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model of "Tech Store Simulator: Prologue" is criticized for being akin to an advertisement rather than a genuine game experience, with users feeling that the free access is misleading and comparable to intrusive ads found on platforms like YouTube. Many reviewers express disappointment, suggesting that the game feels abandoned and lacks value, making the monetization approach feel exploitative.

    • “This is only free in the same way that adverts on YouTube and banner ads in your browser are.”
    • “Just because advertisements are free, doesn't mean they're worth your time.”
    • “There's enough advertisements for junk on YouTube as it is, we don't need these ads on Steam, too.”
  • humor
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the humor in the game primarily through the quirky and amusing way customers walk, which adds a unique charm and contributes to the game's addictive nature. While some initial hesitation exists, many have grown to appreciate this distinctive comedic element, despite acknowledging the need for overall improvements.

    • “Wasn't sure about this at first, but having played it for a while, I got used to the customers walking funny. It's different from other games I've played, but it is addictive.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report significant stability issues, particularly with shelves freezing during gameplay, which leads to wasted resources and an overall frustrating experience. This recurring problem highlights the need for urgent fixes to improve the game's performance.

    • “This demo needs to be fixed; all the shelves just freeze, and you waste money because it freezes, so you can't use them.”
  • gameplay
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the gameplay mechanics, particularly the cash register system and the instant delivery feature, which enhance the overall experience.

    • “I like the mechanics of the cash register and the instant deliveries.”
  • graphics
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report that the game's graphics demand excessive memory, often requiring them to lower settings to low or medium to achieve smoother performance. This suggests that the graphical optimization may not be well-suited for all systems, leading to performance issues.

    • “The first thing I noticed is that I had to turn the graphics to low/medium right off the bat because the game was simply using far too much memory for how much is going on (around 2.3 gigabytes most of the time).”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is characterized as loud, accompanied by rain sounds, creating an immersive auditory experience.

    • “The music is excessively loud and sounds like constant rain.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the game's concept but feel that the grinding aspect is excessive, particularly in the early stages where progress feels slow and purchases yield minimal rewards. Suggestions include increasing NPC movement speed and reducing the grind to enhance the overall experience.

    • “The concept is very cool, but it needs a couple of improvements. For instance, the NPC movement speed should be doubled at least. The opening stages feel a bit too grindy, as each purchase of a new product leaves you with only single figures in your wallet.”
