Review analysis summary (Reviewed Oct 19, 2026)
This anime goods shop simulator scores 72.3 from 433 reviews, with players enjoying the loop but tripping over bugs.
👍 Strengths
156 reviews find it fun and relaxing, with some calling the gameplay addictive. 53 enjoy it in co-op, running the shop together with friends or a partner, and Multiplayer ranks 199th of 642. 42 credit developers who answer feedback quickly and pushed several hotfixes soon after launch. Some like the artwork on the cards, manga and pillows, while others dislike the AI images used in places.
👎 Where it falls short
109 reviews report bugs and crashes, including lost saves that wipe hours of progress and employees stuck at a junior level. 36 find the controls clunky, citing chunky movement, awkward hitboxes and keys that cannot be remapped. 27 say progression is slow and tedious because employees barely help, leaving players to do most of the work themselves. Gameplay ranks 1222nd of 1396, Tech & Support ranks 1072nd of 1399, and Visuals & Sound ranks 1154th of 1249.
