[h3]Welcome back to the new Pet Shop Simulator Devlog. Today we’d like to talk about the living nightmare of each and every shop owner- shoplifters 🤯 [/h3]

Not every customer comes to your shops to buy something 💰 there will also be individuals focused on looting your place under your nose. At first glance they’ll not be any different from every other guest visiting your store… don’t let them fool you!

[h3]As soon as the thief arrives next to the shelf he’d like to steal from, one will perform a pose which we’d like to call “thief gesture” which you can see on the screen below. 👇[/h3]




This is an indicator that something has just been stolen and you have to take immediate action to stop the thief! 🚨 If this is the beginning of your journey as a shop manager in Pet Shop Simulator, you’ll have to stop the thief by yourself. You can do it by clicking on him and starting an interaction. This action may have two possible outcomes:

If the person indeed stole something, police will be called to take the individual to the police station and the stolen product will be back in your shop ✅



If the person was innocent and you point them as a thief, they’ll be mad and the overall rating of your store will take a blow ❌


[h3]
This mechanic inclines players to watch their shops carefully. Don’t be afraid- we’re not leaving you without any countermeasures! Once you’re a bit more experienced shop owner with enough money to afford extra personnel, you’ll be able to hire a store security guard and gates with sensors. Let’s take a closer look at these options 🙂[/h3]

Gates will make sound the moment a shoplifter leaves the store which can be a good last resort measure to help you catch the thief




Security Guard will approach the thieves on his own, punish them and call the police but only when he’s able to spot them! 🧑‍✈️




[h3]We suggest using both of those countermeasures for the best effect! [/h3]



Let us know in the comments what you think about the shoplifting mechanics in our game. If you have any suggestions, would like to see something added, don’t hesitate to let us know! As always, we’d like to invite you to join our discord community and to add the game to your wishlists on Steam!
