Hello everyone!

The doors are open, the neon lights are on, and our first customers are already arriving. The Retro Arcade Shop Simulator Demo is now live on Steam!

Now you can step into the golden age of arcade gaming and start building your own entertainment business. Begin with a small venue, add classic attractions, and turn it into the best retro spot in town.

Build Your Dream Arcade

In Retro Arcade Shop Simulator, every great arcade starts with just one machine.

Buy and set up various classic attractions, arrange your space for optimal results, and keep your customers happy while earning tokens. Each choice you make helps your business grow and opens up new possibilities.

In the demo, you'll be able to:

  • build and grow your own retro arcade business;

  • buy, place, and arrange a wide range of classic machines and attractions;

  • manage a token economy and dynamic hourly income;

  • customize your venue with wall textures, neon lighting, and signs;

  • run a cafeteria and sell products to boost daily profits;

  • hire and manage staff to keep the arcade running smoothly.

Start Your Journey

The demo focuses on the core tycoon experience, allowing you to experiment with machine placement, business growth, customization, and management systems before the full release.

Whether you're dreaming of a cozy arcade filled with classic cabinets or a massive entertainment center packed with attractions, this is your first opportunity to begin that journey.

Your Feedback Matters

We're excited to hear what you think about the demo.

Your feedback helps us improve Retro Arcade Shop Simulator and shape the full experience planned for release. If you encounter any issues or have suggestions, be sure to share them with us through the Steam Community.

See Ya in shop!
