About This Game

Open the shutters at 6 AM. Close at 10 PM. Two other shops on your street are open too.

Corner Store Simulator is a shop sim where the pricing actually matters. Every product carries its own price tolerance, drawn from how well shoppers know what it should cost. Put a penny on the milk and they notice. Put thirty percent on the masking tape and nobody blinks. There is no single markup that works — the right answer is different for bread, for beer, for batteries, and you find it by watching what sells and what sits.

THE STREET PRICES AGAINST YOU

QuickSave Mart undercuts everything and pulls in the budget crowd with small baskets. Cornerstone Goods runs premium and takes the big spenders. Both reprice every day, both run sales, and both notice when they're losing ground. You aren't competing for footfall — you're competing for share of the money spent on the street, and you can watch that share move on your shop computer each morning.

RUN THE SHOP

Order stock and wait for the delivery van

Unpack boxes and stack shelves by hand

Set the price on every single product

Scan, bag, and take cash or card at the till

Read yesterday's numbers and adjust

GROW IT

Earn licences for new categories — bakery, produce, alcohol, tobacco, lottery

Hire staff to stock and serve while you work the numbers

Add checkouts and fixtures as trade picks up

Rent and wages come out whether you had a good day or not. Start with one room, a few empty shelves, and enough cash for a first order.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

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

Parts of this game were made with AI assistance, and I want to be straight about which.

2D art. Product label art, some interface graphics and the store artwork were created with AI-assisted design tools and then hand-edited before release.

Code. Much of the code was written with an AI coding assistant, directed and reviewed by me. The game's design, systems and economy are mine.

Not AI. All 3D models are licensed or hand-made assets. Nothing in the game generates content while you play — everything ships fixed with the build.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

The player runs a corner store and can sell alcohol, tobacco, and lottery products once the matching licence is purchased in-game. These appear as stock on shelves and as items at the checkout. The game does not depict drinking, smoking, intoxication, addiction, or any playable gambling — no spinning, scratching, or wagering minigames. There is no violence, sexual content, or drug use of any kind.
