Worst Shop in Town

Run your own cozy corner store: stock shelves, set prices, serve customers, and try not to question why the building feels alive. A chaotic retail simulator with weird physics, suspicious customers, and bugs that are now officially part of the atmosphere.

About the Game

A cozy retail sim that was definitely not assembled the night before launch.

Run your very own corner store! Stock the shelves, ring up customers, set your prices, and slowly come to terms with the fact that something is deeply, spiritually wrong with this building.

The cola costs whatever it feels like. The empty boxes have opinions about where they want to be thrown. Customers pay by card because they are, frankly, too afraid to handle cash here. And the soundtrack? That's coming from a cassette the tape deck is currently eating, and no, you cannot turn it off, and no, we don't know whose voice that is.

Features:

  • 🛒 Actual shopkeeping! Probably!

  • 📦 Physics that range from "fine" to "war crime"

  • 💸 A pricing system you control with your bare hands and zero guidance

  • 📼 An original Dreamcast-era soundtrack, lovingly run through a haunted cassette

  • 🐛 Bugs we have reclassified as "emergent atmosphere"

  • 👻 At least one (1) ghost. We think. Reports vary.

It's not broken. It's brave. Wishlist now before it becomes self-aware.
