Fantastic game to lose time in, such cozy music and peaceful gaming. Great to play with others. Managed to 100% all achievements in quick time but will go back as so much more to do - Thoroughly enjoyed and recommended x

I wish I hadn't bought this game on sale. I hope the devs release more chill "tycoon" games like this.

If you enjoy economic simulations where market dynamics and careful timing play a major role, then Old Market Simulator is definitely worth your time. The game introduces seasonal events like Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and Herb Fest, which temporarily inflate prices for specific items. These events keep the gameplay dynamic, and you’ll need to adjust your pricing accordingly. The simplicity of the system, combined with a developer team that actively listens to community feedback, gives the game a lot of potential for future updates. Let’s break it down:




The graphics aren’t groundbreaking, but they’re simple and effective for this type of game. The interface is clean and easy to navigate, and the focus remains on the economic mechanics rather than elaborate visuals. It may not stand out, but it doesn’t need to.


In Old Market Simulator, the game revolves around adjusting your prices in response to seasonal events. When events like Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and Herb Fest occur, certain products will see price increases. It’s essential to stay on top of these changes to maximize profits during the event. Afterward, prices should be adjusted back to normal to keep customers satisfied. This simple system keeps the game engaging, though more layers of strategy would enrich the experience further.


The seasonal events provide replayability, offering fresh challenges each time. However, the lack of ongoing content means you might reach a point where you've experienced everything the game has to offer. The developer’s active engagement with the community signals that the game may receive more updates and content in the future, making it one to watch.


Old Market Simulator offers a solid foundation with its easy-to-understand mechanics and seasonal events that keep things dynamic. While it may not have the depth of some other economic sims, its potential for growth, coupled with a developer team that listens to feedback, makes it a game worth keeping an eye on. The current gameplay is enjoyable and provides a taste of what could become a much richer experience.

I originally got this game for me and my friends but later saw that these devs used Generative AI for promotional material which was not disclosed at the time of purchase. The game looked interesting but I refuse to support anyone who relies on technology that robs actual artists. Genuinely disappointed in what looked like a charming game. Please do better.

cant pet cat >:(

you play with them balls likes its fifa

It's one of the most in depth market sims I've played, simply due to the variety of things you can do, and at whatever pace you like! I highly recommend this to anyone needing a game to easily burn tons of hours on, the game-play loop is great!

love it

very fun, turned everyone on the island into a raging alcoholic

Good game, but with issues. #1 Issue: If you buy an upgrade, you should be able to refund it for 80% of the purchase price, but that isn't available. Someone purchased the horse which left him bankrupt because the message to buy the horse was highlighted on the screen. #2 Immersion breaking cleaning the shop constantly. IMO, there should be a way where the user can tap the spacebar to resolve the issue instead of stopping with checkout in your store to clean up the mess. Obviously, you can hire help, but most of the time, you're trying to grind to get more money. #3 If you carry a gourmet item like jam, your crops in your shop aren't being purchased. Every customer buys jam, and only a few buy your crops. There should be some sort of incentive for you to sell your own planted crops.
There are many things I like and at this point in time, it's a good purchase on sale. It's pretty much a farm sim/fishing sim/raising cattle sim all to have items to fill up your shop. Hopefully, future updates can make this a great game, as I like many elements to it. Old Market Simulator has potential to be great. I can see how this game can be great as a co-op game .
