Market Simulator

Start with a small corner shop, a couple of shelves and barely enough money to keep the lights on.

Then see how far you can take it.

Build, manage and expand your own supermarket in a 1-4 player co-op store simulator with a chunky voxel look. Every box you unpack, every customer you check out and every questionable business decision brings your little neighborhood store one step closer to becoming the most talked-about supermarket in the district.

Play alone or bring friends. Split the jobs, make a plan… or ignore the plan completely and watch the store slide into beautifully profitable chaos.

There is no final day. The store runs as long as you keep it running.

Run the Store Together

Everything can be done solo, but a supermarket is much more fun with friends.

Play with up to four players in online co-op through Steam and share one store, one budget and one reputation.

One player works the register while another restocks shelves. Someone handles deliveries while someone else bakes bread and keeps the kitchen running.

Or all four of you drop everything and chase a shoplifter down the aisle.

Your call.

Order, Receive and Stock

Order goods on the delivery computer and meet the courier at the receiving zone. Carry boxes to the stockroom or straight onto the shelves.

Unpack products one by one, and set up auto-order rules so key goods never run out. If you are feeling brave, throw loose stock to a teammate across the store.

Empty shelves mean unhappy customers.

Overstocking means money gathering dust in the stockroom.

Finding the balance is your problem.

130+ Products and 12 Licenses

Start with basic groceries and buy licenses to unlock new product lines:

• Fresh market and orchard produce

• Drinks and snacks

• Frozen and chilled goods

• Bakery

• Deli

• Household and home-care products

• Kitchen and home goods

• Health and beauty

• Electronics

• Clothing

Each license widens your catalogue and brings in new customers, as long as you have the shelf space and the cash to stock it.

Bake and Cook Fresh Food

Not everything arrives in a cardboard box.

Unlock the corner bakery to bake fresh baguettes, and open the kitchen to make coffee, hot dogs and pizza for hungry customers.

Ingredients cost money and cooking takes time. A badly timed batch means empty displays right in the middle of the rush.

Set Prices and Manage Your Money

Set your own prices at the pricing terminal and watch how customers react.

A cheap product attracts buyers but leaves almost no margin. An expensive one may never leave the shelf.

Spend your profits on:

• New product licenses

• Store expansions

• Extra checkout lanes and checkout upgrades

• Self-checkouts

• Shelves, display tables and storage racks

• Staff

Grow carefully, or bet everything on the next expansion.

Grow Your Store

Your first store is just a small room with a register and a few shelves.

Open the shutters on new areas such as the Supermarket Hall and the West Annex, expand the stockroom and fill the new space with shelves, display tables and racks. Arrange them however you like.

Paint your shelves, name your store, and turn a cramped corner shop into a proper neighborhood supermarket.

Hire Staff

At first you do everything yourself.

That doesn't last forever.

Hire a cashier, stocker, janitor and guard from the staff board. They will run the registers, refill shelves, mop up spills and keep an eye on suspicious customers, so you can focus on growing the business.

Deal With Real Supermarket Problems

Customers are wonderful.

Usually.

Expect rush hours, long queues, spills on the floor and empty shelves at the worst possible moment.

Some customers decide paying is optional. Catch shoplifters, track theft losses and call the police when things get out of hand. Talk down a rowdy drunk before he scares everyone off.

A rival store down the street may even send a saboteur to wreck your aisles.

In co-op these moments turn into pure chaos, which is usually when the supermarket is at its most entertaining.

A Living Neighborhood

Every day brings something new: rain, heatwaves, holidays, a city marathon, a surprise health inspection, a power outage, a supplier surge, or a food blogger who could make or break your week.

Your reputation is shared by the whole team and shows up in the neighborhood newspaper. Keep an eye on the district intel board to see what your rival is up to, and take online orders to earn extra income.

Your Store. Your Strategy. Your Disaster.

Build the most efficient store in town.

Make it the prettiest shop on the street.

Squeeze every cent of profit out of every shelf.

Or invite three friends and find out how fast four people can turn a quiet grocery store into a logistical catastrophe.

Start with one small room.

See how big you can make it.
