Anime Shop Simulator ✨

Anime Shop Simulator is a first-person simulation game in which the player takes on the role of manager of an anime shop. It can be played alone or with up to three other players in online co-op, where the group shares responsibility for running the store and managing its finances.

The core loop involves ordering stock such as manga, figures, collectible card packs and other anime merchandise, then arranging it on shelves for customers. Players can open booster packs to find collectible cards, which can either be sold on for profit or kept to build a personal collection. Cards can also be used in a player-versus-player trading card game mode against other players. Shops can be customised with wallpaper, decorations and a chosen name.

Additional features include hosting in-store events, such as autograph signings and trading card tournaments, to attract more customers. Over time the shop can be enlarged and its decor upgraded, with the game presenting shifting trends in the anime industry that the player is expected to respond to in order to stay competitive.
