PQube (London, UK) - June 8, 2024 - PQube & Crinkle Cut Games are excited to announce that the wholesome store management sim 'Discounty' is now coming to  PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S|X, Nintendo Switch, Epic, GOG & Steam next year!

As featured in Wholesome Direct 2024, manage your own supermarket, explore the tight-knit community of Blomkest, build friendships, or make enemies as you uncover the town's secrets in this cozy management sim RPG with a satirical twist!

Step into the quirky harbour town of Blomkest, where your aunt has entrusted you with managing its only supermarket. Design and organise your shop, manage stock levels, work the checkout and strike trade deals. Build relationships with the charming locals and grow your business empire while navigating community dynamics. Use every tool at your disposal to expand your business, but be mindful: rapid growth might ruffle a few feathers in this tight-knit community. Will you pursue endless profits, or find a way to benefit everyone in Blomkest?

  • Build Friendships (or Make Lifelong Enemies): Explore Blomkest after business hours and get to know the townsfolk. Turn them into loyal patrons of Discounty and uncover the town's hidden secrets.

  • Design & Decorate Your Very Own Shop: Create an eye-catching, efficient store by rearranging shelves and products. Design inviting aisles for easy navigation and add decorations to encourage purchases!

  • Strike Trade Deals With Locals: Blomkestians don't take well to newcomers. Gain manufacturers' trust, make trade deals, and sell local speciality goods to boost Discounty profits!

  • Juggle the Responsibilities of a Shopkeeper: Keep shelves stocked, floors clean, and the storage room organised. Ring up customers shopping promptly to keep them happy! No one likes waiting around...

  • Expand Your Supermarket Into An Empire: As profits soar, reinvest and grow! Expand your shop to stock more goods and advertise it around town!

  • Personalise Your Shopkeeper: Choose your appearance, handpick your outfit, and pick a name that reflects your unique style. Your ever-wise Aunt will always recognise you, no matter your chosen guise.

A WARM-ISH WELCOME TO BLOMKEST
 

Following a call from your not-so-distant Aunt Tellar, you find yourself in Blomkest, a once-thriving run-down harbor town with a dwindling population. Your job? To help run a new branch of the supermarket chain 'Discounty' and grow it into a business empire!

Aunt Tellar may have forgotten to mention that you'll be living in an old caravan...but you'll get used to it.


BUILD FRIENDSHIPS (OR MAKE LIFE LONG ENEMIES)...

Beyond the store's regular hours, you're invited to discover the town's delightful quirks and befriend its charming residents. Building relationships with each soul in this town isn't just about business; it's an opportunity to uncover the enchanting mysteries of Blomkest's past. Although, not all of your fellow villagers want you to succeed... It turns out that selling frozen fries won't heal the town on its own!

DESIGN AND DECORATE YOUR VERY OWN DREAM SHOP

It is your duty to rearrange shelves and products to create the most inviting and efficient shop layout. Each customer has personality traits that govern their behaviours as they wander around your store. Use this information to help thoughtfully design your aisles and guide an array of shoppers to their unique wants and needs.
 
Add delightful decorations to try and encourage an extra sale or two! Reinvest your profits to expand and make your shop bigger! 

JUGGLE THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF A SHOPKEEPER

Your life as a shopkeeper is busy! You must balance keeping customers' favourite items stocked on the shelves and manually ringing up purchases as quickly as possible. If you let the line get too long, your customers might start to get impatient or even leave. Keeping customer satisfaction is the most important thing to a shopkeeper! 

STRIKE TRADE DEALS WITH LOCAL MANUFACTURERS 

While Blomkestians may have their reservations about newcomers, the town still thrives with numerous local producers and manufacturers. Earning their trust, crafting fair trade agreements, and promoting the sale of homegrown treasures will not only enrich your profits but also your bond within this close-knit community. 

 Wholesome store management sim 'Discounty' is now coming to  PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S|X, Nintendo Switch, Epic, GOG & Steam next year!
