How it feels

Running an arcade in first-person, you arrange machines and collect coins to expand at a calm, deliberate pace.

What players say

Players are split on this early access shop sim. Some enjoy the unique loop of running an arcade prize counter, but many report the tutorial, counter placement, and backroom door are buggy, and several find the rent spike unfair.
