What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We plan to make Bakkal Simulator more than a genre known simulator game by getting closer to RPG genre. We believe that simulator games must provide immersive world experience of what the simulation is about. So our plan is to give a neighborhood experience and the actual simulation of life from a Bakkal's perspective.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The plan is to deliver everything within 3 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Interactable buildings, other small and medium stores and their owner characters to interact with, thought-provoking social situations to resolve and more are planned.

Also, quite detailed customizable store and home experience is in our plan.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The main simulation elements and mechanics are mostly present, the elements and mechanics that will make the game closer to an RPG are in progress.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to increase the price once we reach our desired design and immersive outcome.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We will be sharing all progress from our social channels and we plan to take content suggestions.”

About This Game

The Degree is on the Wall, The Apron is on You. The Neighborhood is Watching.

After graduation, the corporate world stayed silent. Now, you stand before your grandfather’s old "Bakkal"—a traditional corner shop filled with dust and memories. Bakkal Simulator is a deep Narrative Simulation where you don't just manage a store; you become the heartbeat of a living, breathing community.

Key Features:

  • Dynamic Reputation System: Your relationship with the locals goes beyond transactions. Every "good morning," every credit you extend, and every price you set shapes your Social Reputation. Will you be the trusted cornerstone of the neighborhood, or the greedy shopkeeper they talk about behind your back?

  • Emergent Narrative Simulation: Stories in this world emerge from the interaction between the game’s physical and social systems. Your choices ripple through the community, creating a unique and unpredictable narrative path for every player.

  • The Social Hub: In this culture, a "Bakkal" is more than a shop. It's where secrets are kept and news is shared. Master the social dynamics to gain influence, help those in need, and manage the delicate balance of neighborhood life.

  • Atmospheric Immersion: From the tactile feeling of stocking shelves to the weight of the "Veresiye" (credit) ledger, every mechanic is designed to pull you deep into the life of a traditional shopkeeper.

You aren't just selling bread; you are weaving the fabric of a community. Are you ready to write your own story?

Mature Content Description
