Build your store empire, support the local community, and keep your shelves stocked as you work to restore your store's reputation and rise from the ashes. A blend of casual store management and classic RPG adventure.
Take on the role of Yuki Suzuki, a 21-year-old woman who inherits her family's struggling store following the death of her mother. What begins as a small local business soon spirals into something bigger.
Order stock, design your store, serve customers, hire staff and expand across Japan as Yuki attempts to turn Tundra Corporation into a household name, all while confronting the struggles of imposter syndrome and grief.
Serving customers, placing furniture and more are good ways to boost the reputation of your store, every half a star earned will unlock new products to sell and a new location once 5 stars are reached.
Even after reaching 5 stars, there is still more to achieve. In the statistics menu you will see your rating score which is a more detailed version of your store's rating. You will discover that the max rating score goes further than the star rating allows. Earn the max rating score to master the location.
Stock can be unlocked by increasing your store's reputation, higher profit items and categories can be unlocked at every milestone, at launch there will be 4 categories with 24 items per category being the following:
- Groceries
- Clothing
- Supplies
- Technology
Purchased stock can be collected from directly outside the store giving you a short break from the rush hour chaos.
Yuki-Tundra aims to create a simplified but still in-depth store management system, one of the additions to the game is custom pricing but to simplify the standard feature instead of fine tuning the pricing for each item, you can select from three preset pricing for each shelf: - Discount (+20% Buy Rate, -20% Profit)
- Normal (Balanced Buy and Profit rates)
- Premium (-20% Buy Rate, +20% Profit)
This still allows for you to have more say over how their store is run while making the process of selling stock faster and more streamlined.

Sometimes simple is better but in the case of the building system, we have added a little complexity to allow for better customisation, from launch there will be around 50 different pieces of furniture for your store, ranging from floor to wall items which have a instant effect on customer mood within your store.
Hiring staff is a good way to add automation to your store, to simplify the hiring process, you will only need to hire your staff member once and then that staff member will appear at all checkouts.
Once a staff member is hired, you can purchase multiple upgrades to improve their speed and efficiency.
Throughout your time as CEO of the Tundra Corporation, you can complete quests for Perk Points [PP] and other rewards to give you a better chance at success with your new venture. Perk Points are a vital secondary currency you can use to purchase perks which will follow you across all standard locations.
Perks serve a vital purpose to the overall gameplay loop, although side quests are not required to complete the game, perks can heavily change your experience depending on which ones you purchase. We will be sharing more details on perks at a later date and how they can be efficiently used.

Did you over spend or cannot pay your rent that week? Well don't worry, as a last resort you can take out a loan with daily repayments of different amounts. By completing small challenges you can raise your credit level and take out bigger loans with added risk.
Be careful, missing your weekly rent payment or a daily loan repayment will result in your store being declared bankrupt requiring you to resume from your last save or restarting that store location.
Reach 5 stars at a location to progress to open a new branch at the next location, each new location begins with a fresh store and its own progression, while your unlocked perks remain with you.
You can always return to a location after leaving at anytime without losing your cash or progress at your current location.
We will share more info on these other 2 locations in the future.
