About the Game

Open For Business is an entertainment store management simulator where you build and grow your own shop selling games, movies, and collectible items.

But this is more than just a store.

It’s a place where memories, nostalgia, and entertainment culture come together, inspired by different eras of video games and cinema — from cartridges and VHS tapes to modern consoles and collectible figures.

Many products will remind players of the most iconic games, movies, and characters, evoking familiar emotions and memories.

Everything takes place in an alternative universe filled with its own games, movies, characters, and franchises. Every product is part of a larger world that gradually unfolds as your store grows.

Build Your Store

Start with a small shop and gradually turn it into a true entertainment destination.

Place shelves, checkout counters, massive collectible statues, posters, and much more. Create a space that customers will want to come back to.

Sell Games, Movies, and Collectibles

Fill your shelves with products from different eras of entertainment — from the 90s to the present day.

VHS tapes, DVDs, movies and cartoons, CD games, cartridges, gaming consoles, collectible figurines, and much more.

All products are connected and belong to one large entertainment universe.

Manage Your Store and Customers

Grow your store, purchase licenses for new products, unlock new shelves, and increase your store level.

You can manage everything yourself or hire employees to help run the business.

Create the Atmosphere

Decorate your store with posters, themed areas, and massive collectible figures.

The more interesting and unique your store looks, the more customers it will attract.

Expand Your Business

Expand your store, unlock new products, and turn a small local shop into a true entertainment hub.
