Early Access Review
A fairly decent, not-so-serious simulator for those that take an interest in the workings of your standard grocery shop.

Even though it is in early access, it is very playable, with features being added every now and then, and only a few somewhat middling bugs (middling between minor and major) and only middling because you can actually fix them yourself usually. The only bug I can remember experiencing as of writing this review (which I will try to edit if I remember and/or experience more bugs) is customers and stockers getting stuck, walking back and forth at shelves as they either try to pick up an item or restock. This usually happens more when you have just changed the product that was originally stocked on that part of the shelf. I found it to be easily fixable by either stocking the product yourself until the shelf is full, or by saving and simply restarting the game.

You have a great variety of being able to experience building your shop, with coolers and different styled shelves, being able to buy bulks of items, stock them, manage the inventory with a storage unit, and even hire people to work the stock and even behind the cash registers - of course you get to experience the cash registers for yourself as well (my favourite part). Scan items with that classic 'beep' sound, take payment with cash and experience the annoyance of counting change, or take payment with card and simply type in the amount required.

Of course it's far from perfect, but to be expected for an early access game - I just hope that these supposedly inactive devs will repair any bugs and not just abandon the game like a lot of devs seem to do nowadays.
