Announcement
This update brings new ways to grow your shop, earn your customers’ trust, and make the place your own.
Shop reputation: Build a five-star reputation through customer satisfaction, pricing, contracts, and special orders. Your shop sign displays your progress, and higher ratings earn you tips on sales.
Decorations and improvements: Add a rug, extra lamps, or repair the shop’s walls. These improvements provide permanent reputation bonuses.
Shop cleanliness: Customers can leave rubbish inside and around your store. Litter and empty crates left inside can make shoppers leave without buying.
Trash bins and crate returns: Pick up or throw rubbish into the new bins. You can also return empty crates through them and receive money back.
More customers and conversations: Added four new customer characters, visits in pairs, direct conversations, and more dialogue and animations.
Clearer customer reactions: Updated feedback bubbles explain when customers cannot find stock or are unhappy with the shop’s cleanliness.
Two-handed item carrying: Carry two loose items at once, including collecting workbench ingredients and finished products with your free hand. Improved carrying animations and item targeting.
Easier crate stacking: Dropped crates align more reliably when placed on another crate.
Expanded daily reports: Review reputation changes, customer satisfaction, tips, and advice about your shop’s performance.
Clearer demo results: The final screen now includes a detailed score breakdown and your shop’s reputation. Demo rating goals have also been adjusted.
Smoother tutorial progression: Reduced waiting when Day 2 stock runs out or you are ready to sleep. Tutorial objectives are more noticeable, and relief supplies can be stocked and sold after completing the pantry objective.
Balance adjustments: Updated starting funds, reputation progression, decoration costs and material requirements, and contract rewards.
Shop and world improvements: Added shutters that follow the open/closed sign, improved door clearance around customers, refreshed lighting and environmental effects, and improved decoration installation effects.
Localization and interface improvements: Reviewed translations, corrected English text, expanded font coverage, localized wall artwork, and improved crafting ingredient displays. Gamepad sprint now supports toggling.
You’ll also find a new car assembly area and parts board, previews of upcoming upgrades and supplier goods, and a radiation-storm teaser on the final demo day. Driving and ghost-town trips remain future content.
