(Auszug aus der Pressemitteilung)

Indie game development studio Nokta Games has announced that version 1.0 of Supermarket Simulator, a first-person simulation game, is available now on Steam at $14.99. The game now supports MacOS and will be launching on both Xbox and PlayStation later this year.

Supermarket Simulator is an immersive game that puts you in full control of running and growing a successful retail store. From designing the layout for maximum efficiency and visual appeal to managing aisles, stock placement, and checkout operations, every aspect of the customer experience is in your hands. Scan items, handle payments, and ensure satisfaction at every touchpoint.

Beyond daily operations, the game challenges you to master the business side of retail. Track market fluctuations, purchase stock at optimal prices, and set competitive selling rates to balance profit with customer happiness. Expand your store, upgrade interiors, fulfill online orders, and hunt for the best deals at local markets to keep your shelves full and your margins strong.

To thrive, you’ll need to manage both appearance and security. Clean floors, organize inventory, and personalize the space with custom decor to create a standout shopping environment. Meanwhile, stay alert—install security cameras or hire guards to protect your profits from shoplifters. In Supermarket Simulator, every decision impacts your journey from small shopkeeper to retail mogul.
