Supermarket Surviving Simulator (AppID: 3326900)

Supermarket Surviving Simulator is a store management simulator with survival elements. You will start your own shop with just one dollar in your account and aim to bankrupt all your competitors. Sounds pretty simple, right? But along the way, you'll face hunger, fatigue, hysterical customers, tax returns, lawsuits, unscrupulous suppliers, expired goods, illnesses, nervous breakdowns, poisonings, obesity, incompetent staff, robbers, and much more.

Fortunately, there’s some good news. The character progression system will allow you to improve yourself, run faster, tire less, and calm customers with just a glance. You can also unlock new useful gadgets, like a computer or a more advanced cash register.

Survival Elements

Managing a store is not easy, and it’s even harder when you have to eat and sleep. Plan your diet carefully to stay healthy and avoid food poisoning, all while making sure you don’t blow your budget. Healthy food is not cheap.

You won’t be able to work around the clock, so plan your day carefully to ensure you get enough rest and keep the store in good shape. Customers don’t come evenly throughout the day. There will be busier hours and quieter periods when you can take a break, restock, or pay your bills at the bank—but don’t forget to inform customers of your hours with a "schedule" sign. They’ll be upset if they show up during working hours and find the store closed.

Health System

If you get too caught up in the store and forget about yourself, the consequences won’t take long to show. Illnesses, food poisoning, lack of sleep, fainting from hunger, weight gain, and huge medical bills are the constant companions of the always-busy entrepreneur.

No Magic

You won’t have magical cash registers with infinite cash. If you want to give customers change, make sure to stock up on small bills and coins. There will be no magical walls that stretch out. Want more space? Rent a new place and move all your stock, but you’ll lose some regular customers who won’t be able to find you.

Arranging Products Properly

Product placement on shelves is crucial. For example, lower shelves are less noticeable, and customers expect to find similar items next to each other.

Customers browse the shelves looking for specific products, and they might not find what they want if it's poorly placed, but they may spot and buy something they didn’t initially plan on.

Customers

Customers won’t wait forever at the checkout. They’ll get angry and go to your competitors, and getting them back will be very hard. They’ll also be unhappy if the store is dirty, prices are too high, it’s too cramped, or if it’s too empty. They won’t like it if it’s too hot or too cold, or if shelves are empty, boxes are left lying around, there’s noise from other customers, or if they just feel sad and lonely.

Suppliers

Buy products from different suppliers. Each one has its own prices, range of products, and terms of cooperation. Some are willing to sell even a single box, while others deal in full truckloads of goods. Choose your suppliers carefully to optimize prices and logistics.
