For starters this game seems very Well made and like it has a good team behind it that put some care into it.
I do not know much about the developer or the future plans for this game at this time.
I understand that this game is in early access and will most likely receive updates to improve on its gameplay.

With that being said.

Core functions of the game
you start out clicking through a barrage of text as there is No voice dialogue from what I experienced there are only groans when you
click to your next text box. then it proceeds to show you, your four "Stations" the workbench, the customer table, the bed, and your staircase where you talk to the, idk owner I guess. Hope you like these cause its where you spend the whole game from what it seems. It prompts you little text boxes telling you what these stations do and are used for. then you get to test them out in the tutorial by serving a customer who needs an item that you must clean up to sell to him. the basic function of this game is to hear what a customer needs then go open a bag that will likely have that item in it, get the dirt off the item with a chisel tool, clean it with your sponge, then sell it to the customer and maybe you upgrade it. that's the entire game. there does not seem to be a real "Shop" element to it where like you can put items on a shelf and customers can offer on them or anything like that yet. these chisel and cleaning "minigames" feel mindless and boring and don't really add any kind of fun factor to the "Game". there does seem to be a lot of items to discover and maybe new shops to be seen further down the line but the desire to progress in this gameplay is just not there for me its not keeping my attention or scratching what I wanted out of this game.

Time management system
they have opted to go with this odd time management system that feels as if it was pulled straight from a mobile game where you have time blocks for your day, and certain
actions require certain time blocks. Lets say I wanted to chisel a trinket and clean that item, Well that just took 2 of your 5 time blocks away before you have to go to bed. so it makes it near impossible to serve 2 customers in a day this system gets old real fast I played this game to run a shop not sleep every 10 mins just to get to help 1 maybe 2 customers. I think surely they could find a better system to implement here.

Play-ability
I really loved what they made this game sound Like, Honestly. I have not even 30 mins in the game as of this review and I'm having to have a youtube video up on another monitor just to keep my entertainment up. I sure hope they add more of a Game in future development. sometimes you are just kind of sitting there cleaning items cause customers are few and far between at times or at least very slow to come. leaves a empty feeling in the game world no consistent flow and in all honestly not sure how you could manage a consistent flow with the time management system. NPC's in the game are these 2D PNG images that just kind of shake and groan at you and don't do any real movement or talking.
If you need a mindless game to play while you are doing something else I guess I could see this being something, but for me I just do not enjoy it.

seems to be a few issues but the development team seems to somewhat be responding to those in the discord, I hope the team keeps up with development and maybe moves in the right directions, But from how it seems this is the game they wanted and may not deviate to broader shop style concepts. If you are looking to me to give a recommendation on this title, for me I'd say avoid this game or at least give it some time to add more to it If that is something the development team plans on even doing.
