About the Game

[h1]Save Dad's Shop[/h1]
A cozy retro game-shop tycoon about second chances.

Your father spent thirty years behind the counter of a little retro game store. Now it's yours — along with the bank loan he couldn't finish paying. You have 90 days to turn it around before the bank takes the building.

Run the shop your way

  • Buy smart, sell smarter — pick daily stock lots, set prices per genre, and watch your margins.
  • Stock the shelves — RPG, Action, Sports, Racing, Horror. Assign genres and keep the bestsellers full.
  • Hire & train staff — Stockers, Greeters, Quality and Cleaning crew, each with a job to do.
  • Upgrade everything — faster checkout, bigger depot, more shelves, better displays.
  • Decorate — neon signs, arcade cabinets, carpets and posters that draw the crowds.

Beat the debt

A payment is due every 10 days. Miss one and the interest piles up fast. Keep the cash flowing, clear the loan, and earn your way from Dad's Legacy to a Legendary Arcade.

A story worth saving

Read Dad's letter, meet the regulars who kept the place alive, and face story moments that test what kind of shopkeeper you'll be.

Cozy, readable, retro

A warm hand-made cartoon look, simple one-more-day gameplay, and a shop that feels alive with customers wandering the aisles.
