About This Game

Welcome in! This is a tiny build-to-order shop on a quiet street.

It's 2024. Generative AI just blew up, and the shop's inbox is filling up with requests.
"We want our internal docs read by an AI we actually own." "Can it learn my art style?" "Honestly, I just want someone to talk to at night."
Everyone wants something a little different.

Read the email, wrestle with the budget, pick the parts, and build it. Nail it, and you'll get a thank-you note. Miss, and the reply might sting a little.

Every season brings new AI models and wobbly part prices.
Three years, 2024 to 2026. What kind of shop will yours become?

What's inside

  • A cozy little pixel-art shop sim — about 5 hours per playthrough

  • Hunt for the setup that makes the AI run: model size, GPU memory and speed, power, cooling. Swap parts and check with the benchmark.

  • Don’t worry if the jargon is new to you. The game does the math, and the block diagram shows the result.

  • 50+ order emails, and past customers who come back for an upgrade

  • Go cheap with used parts or play it safe with new ones — it's your shop

  • Very lightweight: runs fine on older laptops

  • Every company, product, and AI model is fictional

AI Generated Content Disclosure

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

Pre-generated content: Some game assets were created with generative AI tools (ChatGPT, Gemini) and reviewed and edited by the developer: part and model icons, backgrounds, cut-in illustrations, the logo and store capsule art. About half of the customer order emails were drafted with AI and edited by the developer. BGM tracks were generated with SOUNDRAW. Translations into English, German, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Russian and Ukrainian were produced with AI tools (Gemini, Claude) and are machine-translated.
Live-generated content: None. No AI runs while the game is played; all content is pre-made and bundled with the game.
