changedThis demo version of the game drops you into a small store pre-equipped with a register, help desk, and shelves ready to be filled. All you need to do to get started is prep the register, order some merchandise (rush delivery recommended), stock the shelves, and open the doors. And... maybe clean up a little bit; the owner seems to have thrown a party of some kind before heading out of town.
changedWe also recognize that, without a full tutorial in place yet, some of the less obvious aspects of the gameplay may be... well, less obvious. We've opened a help desk section in our official Discord to assist - if you have any questions or confusion about how the game works, please ask! Your feedback is vital in helping us grow GameShop Simulator into the best game it can be, so please share any and all suggestions, bug reports, and any other thoughts you have on your experience.

While we're very excited to let you get your hands on what we've been working on, please keep in mind that this is a narrow, early slice of the final product. There are still several key features in development (including a proper tutorial), and likely to be a few bugs, glitches, and other weird behavior here and there. Our multiplayer implementation is still very rough, and as it's a short demo, game saves may not function properly.

Across our entire development team, this is our very first game. We're as indie as it gets. We truly hope you enjoy what we're putting together, and are incredibly grateful you're here at the beginning.
