What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“TechStoreSimulator combines designing a computer store with managing its day-to-day business. Early Access will allow us to gather player feedback on progression, the economy, interactions and store organization. We want to use this feedback to guide improvements, address reported issues and refine the overall experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate that Early Access will last approximately one year from its launch. This estimate may change depending on development progress and player feedback.”

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

“We plan to deepen the management experience, refine economic balance and progression, and improve interactions, the interface and performance. We are also considering expanding store customization options and the product catalog. The scope and priorities may change based on testing and player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version lets players build and furnish a computer store, order stock, receive deliveries, fill shelves, and manage prices and promotions. Players can operate the checkout, hire cashiers and restockers, unlock product licenses, and prepare online orders through to dropping them off for shipping. Revenue, wages and operating costs can also be tracked.

The game is still in development: bugs, balance issues and performance drops may occur, particularly in larger stores. Customer and employee behavior, performance and usability still need further refinement.”

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

“We plan to gradually increase the price as we add content and new features, including when the full version is released. Planned price increases will be announced in advance.”

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

“We plan to use the Steam discussions to collect bug reports, suggestions and player feedback. Comments on the economy, progression, store layout, and customer and employee behavior will help us identify priorities. We also intend to share development progress and explain changes through update announcements. While we cannot implement every suggestion, community feedback will help inform our decisions.”

About This Game

Your store. Your workshop. Your decisions.


Open the doors to your very own computer store in Tech Store Simulator. Set up your premises, choose your products and welcome your first customers. Receive deliveries, stock the shelves and step behind the checkout: every day puts you in charge of your business.

Then expand into online orders, PC building and customer repairs. Between sales, plan a new build, repair a customer's computer or organise your next restock.

Play solo or with friends in co-op, and grow your store at your own pace.

BUILD A STORE THAT FEELS LIKE YOURS


Imagine your sales floor, then bring it to life. Place shelving, display cabinets and stands, organise your stockroom and set up your workstations.

Customise the walls, floors, lighting and decorations to create the atmosphere you want. From a small shop to a multi-storey retail space, adapt your layout to your business.

Need more room? Buy new plots, expand your premises and rethink how people move between the shelves, checkouts and workshops.

CHOOSE THE PRODUCTS THAT DRIVE YOUR SUCCESS


PC components, computers, peripherals, video games, gaming equipment and collectible figurines: build your range and unlock new licences to expand your catalogue.

Display your products, assign shelf spaces and plan your restocks. Set your prices, run promotions and watch your stock to find your balance between sales and profitability.

From affordable small items to high-end equipment, you decide what customers will find in your store.

KEEP YOUR STORE SUPPLIED


Browse the TechMarket and HEXALIS catalogues on your computer or tablet. Find your products, compare your needs with your stock and prepare your orders. Use the handheld scanner to add products to your basket directly from their labels.

Visit the HEXALIS supplier counter to buy goods at a 20% discount, then collect your boxes at the loading bay.

In solo play, buy your truck at the VELORA Motors dealership and take the wheel to transport your purchases. Load its cargo box, open the rear doors and plan your trips between the supplier and your store.

TAKE CHARGE OF THE CHECKOUT


Serve your customers down to the last item. Scan their purchases, enter card payments or accept cash, then prepare their change.

As customers leave with their bags, keep an eye on your shelves and incoming deliveries. As your store grows, add new checkouts and unlock self-service checkouts.

RECRUIT YOUR TEAM


Hire cashiers and shelf stockers to support your growing business.

Let them handle part of the work while you take care of purchases, orders or the workshop. Your employees gain experience throughout their working days: track their progress and wages to build a team that suits your needs.

BUILD YOUR OWN PCs


Set up your workbench and go from choosing components to assembling the machine.

Plan a compatible build, collect the parts from your shelves and assemble your PC directly on the workbench. Case, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage and cooling: bring your builds to life.

Save your configurations to use them again, then offer your finished PCs for sale in your store.

OPEN YOUR CUSTOMER REPAIR SERVICE


Expand your business by repairing and upgrading your customers' PCs.

Receive requests by email, review the configurations and choose which jobs to accept. Collect the computers at the COURLEX locker, replace the requested components and prepare them for return.

Organise machines on your workshop rack, track your jobs and charge for replacement parts and your labour. An illustrated guide helps you get started with customer repairs.

PREPARE AND SHIP ONLINE ORDERS


With Packflow, your business reaches beyond the customers in your store.

Browse requests, accept orders and organise their preparation. You can even accept an order before restocking the missing products.

Pick items from your shelves, fill the boxes, print the labels and load your trolley. Then take the parcels to the COURLEX shipping point to complete your orders and receive payment.

STAY IN CONTROL OF YOUR BUSINESS


Manage your purchases, prices, employees, orders and investments from your computer and tablet.

Check your end-of-day report: items sold, visitors, customers served, orders shipped, repair activity and net profit. Plan your next purchases and use banking services to simulate a loan or repay one early.

Goods, wages, bills and expansions: every expense counts. Decide when to invest, hire or branch out into a new activity.

SHARE THE WORK IN CO-OP


Invite friends to help run the store. While one serves customers at the checkout, another can stock shelves, prepare parcels or work at the bench.

Assign tasks and permissions, coordinate purchases and grow your business together.

Tech Store Simulator is available in nine languages, with adjustable text size to make the interfaces comfortable to read.
