What players say
they put drugs in this game. Idk wtf is wrong but everytime I play I can't stop. It's not even that good of a game- it's good, don't get me wrong-but not good enough to warrant the devotion I put in. I think I need to never play this again for my own mental health…suspiciously addictive….
bought a game for a little price to create a little shop and sell a little goods and i had a little fun so im leaving a little positive review
this little shop management game is really fun and easy to get into!! it's casual, simple to learn and perfect for just relaxing while slowly building up your own business. the only downside is that it takes a while to earn money and start upgrading your store, unlocking new equipment and expanding your selection of products.. but honestly it's worth the wait, bc seeing your shop gradually grow feels pretty...
