    I'm a Playway Games connoisseur. I own more than a dozen of their titles and am a shareholder of their stock. I like your average 6/10 Playway game. As long as the simulator simulates like it should and the achievements work, I'm easy to please. But, even by Playway standards, this one is a dud. The game is functional and can be beaten in a reasonable amount of time. That's where the good ends. Why are there no …

    Great simulator! It hooks you from the first minute – planning your product range, setting prices, and expanding your store is so addictive. Customers, promotions, business growth – it feels like real retail, but without the risk! Nice graphics, smooth gameplay. Highly recommend!

    In the meantime, when I go over Depravity Quest assets for the pack have the unteased version of the Gnoll ShopKeeper that is getting put in the 0.4 version of the game. I'm thinking April would be a good time to get off my ass and actually start releasing things.

    i bought this mainly because there are very few sims that have controller support. Make no mistake, while it does say that you can play with controller, it definitely doesn't have a controller user in mind. The right toggle stick is repurposed as your cursor. There is no use of the D pad, and you barely use any of the other buttons on a standard controller. The gameplay itself lacks any creativity or and is uninspired. The days last too long and there is nothing particularly engaging about…

    Sadly there a few things that just miss in this game. I played so many simulator games and quite a few supermarket simulator games. You can't take any item back from the shelve, so an oops placement ! Wait for it to be sold. Want to change around the shop.. sell everything first. When you work at the cash register you cannot look around what makes it kind of boring, then when you make a mistake in the payment you have to reset the payment and do it again. Instead of just grabbing an bill…

    If only running a real-life store were this easy. As a kid, I always dreamed of having my own little shop- stocking shelves, keeping everything tidy. My friend’s mom owned one, and we’d hang out there all the time. And man, this game nails that vibe. It’s the perfect simulator, capturing every detail: shelves packed with products, customers always in a rush, and the everyday chaos of retail. Time flies while playing, it’s oddly satisfying to step into the role of a shop owner. Now I’m even…

    No, just horrible. I am fine with playing the left overs of these Shop Keeping games, I can accept most forms of jank, but this is just bad. Controls are bad, no QOL elements to make the game enjoyable. This is not worth playing even with low standards.

    Played for 2 hours. While it delivers a basic store management loop, Shopkeeper ultimately feels like a missed opportunity, lacking the depth and polish to truly shine. The Core Loop: Keeping the Shelves Stocked Your daily grind involves ordering stock, setting prices, restocking shelves, and serving customers. It's initially engaging – there's always something to do, keeping you busy. The optimization is decent, a definite plus compared to some similar titles. Unlocking new items and…
