Today's game is Super Market Together. I found it randomly on the Steam Store, saw it was multiplayer, and it was free so i figured "eh, why not blow an evening with a friend running a grocery store". We intially called our store TwoBros, but we had a third friend join us so we were due for a rebrand:

And we became ThreeBros instead. Around this time we all agreed the sign kind of looks like the Logo to a Men's Strip Club. We're hoping that brings in customers.

We also hired a guy we named Danny to run the register for us. Danny legit saves us so much time, so to show our appreciation (and since i can't pay him more) we bought him a frog painting and a Potted Plant (along with a TV for the Break Room).

I decided for our inventory that we should appeal to a broad market. And you know what the Broadest market is? Everyone. And you know what Everyone drinks? Water. So i bought a shit ton of water and stocked a few shelves with it. The Shelf above is only 1/4 of the Water we have, and we have more in the back. Sadly my water plan isn't working, and people seem more interested in Soda and Tea. I spent $500 on Water Alone. If anything though i can rest assured that no one will be going thirsty.

Towards the end of our 6th day in business we had a shoplifter stealing a 12 pack of soda so i grabbed a broom and hit the guy into the street (granted i do this to everyone). If it was water i could understand, we've got so much anyways. But that Soda is expensive as hell and isn't a basic human right. He was fine and walked it off, then went inside and started bitching that we didn't have Black Tea, only Lemon Tea.

Our store also has a cat outside the break room. I want to move it inside but can't figure how (or if i even can) move it. Our Break Room also has a Prison Cell with only a sink for some reason. I don't know what kind of Kinky Stuff my Employees (both Danny and my Two Friends) are getting up too, but as long as it's all clean and everyone is safe then i don't want to know. We bought them a Table for their Break Room too and want to get them a Fridge.

Kinda cool this kind of "work sims" keep popping up. Though I tend to lose interest in them after few hours, as the gameplay generally turns to routine and becomes fairly boring... that said I don't even know how many hours I've spent driving a truck in Euro Truck 2 so... not all routines are the same, I guess?

Is the game fairly dimly lit or is your store just trying to save on electricity?

We bought some lights for the ceilings later to make it brighter because one of my friends was saying the same thing lol. There's a toggle for reduced lights that's on by default in settings, but i didn't mess with that so maybe that will help too

This seems a bit better than most [retail store type] simulator releases that look like cash grab asset flips (and are often quickly abandoned).

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

It's weird because i feel like it looks like a flip, but it's all decently well put together. I had one friend say it reminds them a bit of Goat Simulator, but i'm not sure exactly how they meant that
