[h3]A Warm-ish Welcome to Blomkest[/h3]
(please ignore the rats)Following a call from your not-so-distant Aunt Tellar, you find yourself in Blomkest, a once-thriving run-down harbor town with a dwindling population. Your job? To help her revive the local Discounty branch as the shopkeeper and grow it into a business empire!
Aunt Tellar may have forgotten to mention that you'll be living in an old garage...
but you'll get used to it.
[h3]Craft Your Shopkeeper[/h3]
Personalise your appearance, handpick your outfit, and give yourself a name that resonates with your unique style.
Rest assured, your ever-wise Aunt will always know you, no matter your chosen guise.
[h3]Build & Expand Your Dream Shop[/h3]
As shopkeeper, it is your duty to rearrange shelves and products to create the most inviting and efficient shop layout. Each customer has personality traits that govern their behaviours as they wander around your store. Use this information to help thoughtfully design your aisles and guide an array of shoppers to their unique wants and needs.
Add delightful decorations to try and encourage an extra sale or two! Reinvest your profits to expand and make your shop bigger!
[h3]The Customer Is Always Right [/h3]
Balance the many chaotic tasks of a shopkeeper... ensure shelves are stocked, floors gleam and the storage room exudes perfect order and tidiness! Each visitor arrives with their own shopping list and distinct preferences (not everyone is the easiest to deal with...).
It's your heartfelt duty to ensure every shopper leaves with a smile!
[h3]Ring Up Customer's Shopping Swiftly[/h3]
Your customers don't have all day... quickly scan through shopping lists and successfully calculate total bills. Your efficiency will make customers happy, encouraging their loyalty. Can you navigate the bustling store to meet everyone's needs with grace and goodwill?
[h3]Strike Trade Deals With Locals[/h3]
Blomkestians don't take particularly well to newcomers, but there are still quite a few producers and manufacturers left in town. Gain their trust, make trade deals, and sell local goods to make more profit!
[h3]Build Heartfelt Relationships (or make lifelong enemies)[/h3]
Beyond the store's regular hours, you're invited to discover the town's delightful quirks and befriend its charming residents. Building relationships with each soul in this town isn't just about business; it's an opportunity to uncover the enchanting mysteries of Blomkest's past. Although, not all of your fellow villagers want you to succeed.
Turns out, not everyone loves
ever-expanding, never-enough, cold-hearted, money-crazed capitalism.
He-he.
