Dear Players,
Today, the doors of inKONBINI are finally open.
To celebrate the launch, the game will be available with a 10% launch discount during the first two weeks on Steam. If you'd like to support the team even further, you can also get the completely optional Yojoki Masters Supporter Pack DLC, the inKONBINI Artbook, and the full Original Game Soundtrack which will be available soon.
What started as a small idea - a quiet convenience store filled with ordinary people, late-night conversations, and tiny everyday moments - has now become something we can finally share with all of you.
In a world that moves faster every day, we wanted to create a place where you could slow down for a little while. A place where small choices matter. Where brief encounters can quietly change someone’s life. Where even the smallest moments can stay with you long after they’re gone.
Over the past years, our team poured an unbelievable amount of care into this tiny store. Every shelf, every customer, every conversation, every strange little detail was handcrafted with love. And now, after this long journey, you can finally step inside.
We honestly can’t wait for you to meet Makoto, the regular customers, and discover the stories hidden between the aisles. There’s a Japanese phrase we often thought about while making this game: Ichigo Ichie (一期一会) — “one time, one meeting.” The idea that every encounter is unique and can never happen in exactly the same way again.
This release feels a little like that for us. Thank you for being here with us today. And thank you for giving our small konbini a place in your life.
See you on the night shift.
