While I commend the concept of the game and I liked the idea of a game about the day to day life of a picker/pawnbroker, I can't bear the execution and I couldn't reccomend the game to anyone. I'll start with the pettiest complaints first.

The haggling mechanic works fine, but makes no logical sense. Firstly you're trying to ask a customer in a store to pay *more* than the listed price (which is illegal by the way) but you also get multiple chances to haggle the price even higher after they already agreed to the first higher price! Try that in real life, I dare you. There's a skill check for it so it gives the player a reason to do it, but it does break the immersion every time I do it. I'm supposed to be running a store, and this isn't how stores work.

The items that the game deems valuable and allows you find versus items that are just untouchable set dressing is frankly stupid. A matching timber dining room set? Well only the table is valuable, the chairs are all junk. A nice bloodwood timber bookshelf or kitchen cabinet, or vintage hurricane lanterns hanging on the wall? Can't have those, but this decayed and stained rag hanging on a shower head? $3! A rack of barbells and weights? All junk, chop them up for worthless spare parts! A trash bag in a dumpster or a decaying hessian cloth hanging over a doorway in a barn? Valuable trash!! Absurd.

In a game about collecting items with no enemies, no time pressure, no environmental hazards, and no reason not to go as fast as possible, the game has a sprint meter but doesn't actually have a sprint meter. You can hold down shift to run faster, but the character gets tired after a few seconds and you can't sprint again for X seconds. A typical sprint meter mechanic, but as far as I could tell there isn't one displayed on screen, so you just have to alternate between holding and not holding sprint now and then for no good reason.

I was fast losing patience with the game after I completed my first "storage wars" minigame and after completing the hardest lockpick minigame on one of three identical chests with varying levels of locks, there was nothing inside. The other two easier chests had some worthless junk in them, but the hardest one of all had absolutely nothing, which I can only assume is a bug. Then I made the mistake of clicking on a cardboard figure in the front yard which automatically gave me some sort of holiday themed cosmetic pack that made all my tools look stupid, and when using the flashlight it puts a big black shilloutte of my stupid redneck uncle with a bucket on his head over the top of the flashlight, which is the single worst UI decision I've ever seen in any game in all history. You try navigating through a dark barn with a flashlight when the flashlight is shining a big black shilloutte of a cartoon face over everything you look at no matter which way you look. I'm sure I could have hunted around for a cosmetics option to remove this once I was back at the house, but it didn't help me when I was already on this mission and had no option to change it.

The breaking point for me was when the game wanted me to find 9 individual scraps of a comic book in a barn and then arrange them in the correct order on a drafting table, which would presumably then assemble them into a finished item I could sell. I found all the pages, I lined them all up on the table in the obviously correct order, but then nothing happened, and there was no other button to press or any way to get them to assemble themselves. It was so clearly the correct order that there's almost no chance this was user error, and I pressed every button on my keyboard/mouse and used every tool trying to get them to work, nothing. It's either bugged, or the UI has completely failed to tell me what to do. And it was such a basic baby's first puzzle level puzzle that I just can't tolerate it not working properly, this is such a basic thing to get right.

Can't reccomend this game, sorry I bought it.

Games with similar themes of collecting and sorting/selling scrap/junk that I would reccomend instead are:
Ship Graveyard Simulator 2, Steamworld Dig, maybe Train Station Renovation, and possibly Recycling Center Simulator which I haven't played but seems pretty similar (and thankfully without the "dirt-poor redneck" aesthetic that is another thing in this game that very quickly lost its charm)

Really boring find the item game.
