About This Game

Shop of Deals is not just a shop management game.
It’s a story about taking risks, reading people, and living with the consequences of every decision.

There’s no big team, no massive budget. Just a simple idea:
“What if you ran a shop… but every customer brought a story with them?”

🔫 One shop, hundreds of stories

Every customer who walks into your shop is different.
Some are desperate for cash, some try to trick you.
Some don’t even know what they’re selling… and some know more than you do.

You negotiate with all of them.
But this isn’t just about price.

• Will you trust them?

• Will you take the risk?

• Or will you manipulate them?

Sometimes, the “right” decision is not the most profitable one.

💰 Negotiation system (real decisions)

This is the heart of the game.

Every offer feels like a battle:

• Go too low, the customer walks away

• Go too high, you lose money

• Finding the perfect middle… isn’t always possible

And yes… sometimes even a reasonable offer gets rejected.
Because the person in front of you isn’t a machine.

⚠️ Risk system

Every deal has consequences.

• Suspicious customers → increase risk

• High-value but “dirty” items → increase risk

• Greed → increases risk

When risk reaches 100%…

The police knock on your door.

And in that moment:

• Will you pay the fine?

• Will you bribe them?

• Or risk losing everything?

🧠 Deep but understandable systems

The game has many systems, but they all serve one thing:
making decisions.

• Inventory management

• Item condition & rarity

• Repair system

• Customer types

• Daily events

• Suspicion / risk balance

Each day starts small… but things can quickly spiral out of control.

🖤 Final words

This is not a “get rich” game.
This is a balance game.

Between money, risk, and conscience.

And sometimes…
the best deal is the one you never make.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

**About the Use of AI**

This game was largely developed by a single developer with limited resources. To move faster and support certain parts of the creative process, I occasionally used AI tools during development.

AI was mainly used to help generate early drafts of visuals, initial text ideas, and to assist throughout the production process. However, everything you see in the game has been manually refined, reworked, and shaped to fit the overall vision of the game.

My goal was not to use AI as a shortcut, but as a supportive tool to help bring ideas to life more efficiently. This allowed me to focus more on the atmosphere, gameplay, and overall experience I wanted to create.

The final result — its world, mechanics, and feeling — reflects my own vision.
