Tried out the demo in late 2024. I really like the concept. It didn't feel like all those "[retail store type] simulator] UE5 asset flips that are all over Steam. It has it's own visual style and IMO has more refined core gameplay mechanics. Sure, some of the gamplay is similar (and can be very addicting), but you can see that thought was put into the gameplay mechanics.
If the 1st person store simulator concept seems intriguing, but you are looking for something beyond a quick UE5 asset flip, I would recommend to check this out.
I am surprised that it was released for free. I briefly interacted with the dev in late 2024 and I was under the impression that there would be a commercial release in 1H 2025.
It's not the full game, it's the "First Store" edition/chapter/whatever. The full game has a separate Steam page. So it's likely yet another demo version.
There aren't a lot of reviews yet, but so far they are mixed.
I was wondering if this is the case due to the "first store label", but I wasn't abel to find a link to the Steam store page for the full game.
I guess I didn't look well enough. :(
