So I put a bunch of hours into the demo and finally the full game has arrived and with a hefty 40% discount so I decided to dive straight in and just like the demo the full version doesn't disappoint. More of the same that was in the demo but with a bunch more levels! Now this game has an interesting take in that each level is basically you running a new store but each level also slowly adds more and more complexities to said store, to begin with you start with self checkouts and all you really need to do is focus on your stock workers and then the next level you're getting loans and cashiers and in the 3rd level you now have full control over the store opening times AND even get to control the temperature of the store! I can't imagine what level 10 will have you doing. I'm not much further into the game yet but I love it so far, I'm a huge fan of this type of game and even with the very simple art style there is so much depth and love here it's perfect. I'm unsure if the developer i...

About This Game
Are you ready to open a store?
"Urban Entrepreneur" is a captivating simulation and strategy game that puts players in the role of an ambitious business manager, ready to build a thriving empire in a bustling, ever-changing city. With a focus on players who enjoy simulation and strategy games, this modern game targets both casual and hardcore gamers, catering to young adults and adults interested in business and entrepreneurship.
The game starts with a small store in a local shopping center, and it's up to the players to attract customers by offering high-quality products and exceptional customer service. As their business expands, players will need to hire employees, build relationships with suppliers and customers, and compete in challenges to obtain exclusive rights to sell special items unavailable elsewhere. To stay ahead of the competition, players must expertly manage inventory, pricing, and marketing strategies, all while navigating the complex web of city taxes and laws.
The innovative AI "State-Machine" ensures that employees and customers react quickly and realistically, providing a truly immersive experience. Employees have unique traits and skills, requiring expert management to hire, train, and discipline them effectively. Players must also manage employee stress levels, as neglecting staff can lead to high turnover rates.
Customers, on the other hand, are picky yet prone to manipulation. Players must employ various tactics to entice customers to spend more, such as carefully selecting store music, adjusting lighting, and strategically placing products to encourage impulse buys. Time spent in the store can also induce "choice fatigue," further influencing customer purchasing behavior.
"Urban Entrepreneur" features three types of events that can change daily store operations: random events, semi-predictable occurrences, and scheduled events, such as the infamous Black Friday. Players must adapt their strategies to respond to these events and maintain a successful business.
Additionally, players can implement policies to shape the way their store operates, such as requiring customer memberships, adjusting store hours, and offering employee benefits. This level of customization allows players to craft a unique experience tailored to their preferred playstyle.
"Urban Entrepreneur" delivers an immersive and challenging simulation game that tests players' business acumen in a dynamic, ever-evolving cityscape. With its unique features, customization options, and engaging gameplay, "Urban Entrepreneur" is poised to become a popular title in the simulation and strategy genres, shining a light on the challenges faced by new entrepreneurs and the exhilaration of growing a business in a saturated market.

A lot of great depth in this game.
A really fun management game!
Everything about this game is unique. To me that means it took me a little bit ( not too long :D ) to figure out exactly what was going on. Once I did I had a lot of fun creating my store and ruining the life of my workers by making them work 24hrs / day.. If this type of game seems up tour alley definitely give it a go. Oh also the developer is super responsive.
This game's a lot of fun! There's a lot of depth and intricacy involved in setting up your store and making sure that it's successful. The sim mechanics are very well thought out, and there's clearly a ton of replay value here. Highly recommend!
Good job on the game so far
Fun game, really like the music.

I worked at grocery stores for a hot minute and this kind of reminds me of all the moving pieces and stress that was day to day but in a fun game kind of way, lol. I find the humor in the text quite funny and enjoyed all the management aspects so far! It definitely has some moments where you get challenged with your build and I had a lot of time staying active trying to manage all the moving pieces.
A charming grocery store simulator, with plenty of interlocking systems to learn. It's a bit fiddly, but there's plenty of challenge.
