GameZone – Game Store Simulator

GameZone – Game Store Simulator is a business simulation about running a shop that sells physical games. The player builds and stocks a store, serves customers and expands the business over time, with a focus on keeping physical game media in circulation.

Day-to-day play involves several tasks. At the checkout, the player physically drags items across a scanner and handles both cash and card payments, with the option of giving customers discounts. Some customers buy online, so the player also staffs an online orders desk, preparing orders for delivery or notifying customers when they can collect them in store. The player can also repair scratched and dirty discs for customers and resell games.

GameZone supports co-op play, and friends can join or leave a session at any time through drop-in, drop-out multiplayer. As the shop becomes more popular, the player gains access to larger and better products, which in turn call for a bigger store to hold the stock.
