You can sign-up on the game's Steam page, and as soon as the playtest begins you'll receive a notification. But just in case you miss that we'll also post an announcement on the game's Steam page and our Discord, so feel free to follow us there too.


How to sign up

Go the the GameZone Steam page and click the green "Request Access" button.

What's in the playtest

  • Play through the first 10 store levels of the game

  • Handle customer sales at the checkout desk

  • Gain access to new products as you build your reputation

  • Manage a small amount of online order deliveries

  • Basic player and store customisation

  • Multiplayer co-op, so you can play with your friends on Steam

We want to get your feedback on the game with this playtest. So please, let us know what you enjoy, what could be improved, and what else you'd love to see when the game releases in full.

You can share your thoughts with us in our Discord, or in the Steam discussion board. We can't wait to read every comment and suggestion you all have.

And if you know anyone who you think would be interested in the game, please let them know too! The more the merrier.
