Leaving Early Access: Q4 2027

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I want to make Hey! Shopkeeper! As good as it can be, but I can't continue working on it as I have without your support! Help me out by participating in early access and being a part of the community!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The plan is to release all the planned content for the game every 1 to 2 months for a full year, which will mark the transition to 1.0!”

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

“I plan to add More items, more cutscenes involving all the villagers, new areas and more planned yearly events. Wandering a maze, solving a fake murder, making your own theater play! All of that plus the possible addition of some features many can look forward too like... Romance?”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We're at the very beginning of early access, with most mechanics finished and about 35% of the content already released.”

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

“There is no plan to raise the price of the game on full release.”

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

“Listening to feedback, watching them react to my game and talking to them directly on forums like discord or steam! I plan to get involved directly with those who want to engage with my game!”

About This Game

Hey! Shopkeeper! Are you listening?!

Someone’s dead and you’ve inherited their shop! What could possibly go wrong?

Welcome to Town! A city that really didn’t think it would grow this big… And you’re a part of its ever growing community! Hooray!

Sure, you’re starting from rock bottom, and your bizarre obsession with wearing a hood everywhere doesn’t make you the most popular resident… But what’s life without a little bit of challenge!

FEATURES:

  • Make a fortune by ripping off… I mean, making fair deals with your customers!

    Every client is unique. And there’s over 100 of them!  It’s your job to figure out how to make as much money as possible and turn your little shack into a bustling boutique!

  • Build up that street cred! You’re not just A shopkeeper, you’re THE Shopkeeper!

    Sometimes, it’s all about clout! Grease the right palms, make the right compliments, and you’ll be on a fast track to success baby!

  • Make friends… with benefits! No. Not like that, you sicko!

    Mining, crafting, fishing. There’s a lot to learn, and you’re just one measly villager! Lucky for you, friendship is magic… or I’ve heard anyway. If you’re hitting a wall, your friends will be more than happy to help! With over 30 main NPCs to butter up, you’ve got all the help a shopkeeper could ask for!

  • A master of multitasking!

    Your friends can’t do everything for you! Navigating an old dungeon turned into a mine. Exploring a mysterious junkyard filled with strange gizmos… If you want the sweetest loot, you’ve gotta earn it! So get to work!

  • A perfectly ordinary city… In a world of magic and monsters.

    Okay, so maybe it isn’t THAT normal. Witness the lives of this merry band of weirdos as they navigate the insanity of a life where your neighbour can suddenly wake up as a cat one day. Hey, at least it’s not a cockroach.

  • Gladiator roosters, handling hordes of customers and even becoming the king of Improv theater! Discover tons of events throughout the year!

    What’s life without parties eh? Too bad these villagers only have the weirdest ideas…

    Participate in a bunch of strange events throughout the year to boost your rep and make more friends!

  • Shocking news! The weather and seasons affect local wildlife!

    To the surprise of nobody, the changing weather and shifting seasons has a huge impact on Town and its residents! Watch as daily schedules shift, new items appear and more!

  • Where’s all the furniture? This place stinks!

    Can you hear that? The indignant cries of a dissatisfied customer! Never fear! Because not only can you make your shop bigger, you can fill it with a plethora of craftable furniture whenever you want! Show those whiny villagers who’s got the fanciest shop in Town!
