inKONBINI: One Store. Many Stories

You might be mistaken in thinking that this is just a 'shop management' game - In actuality this is a beautifully written narrative homage to family, friends, and the little things that make every day special. This was a wonderful experience and I'm only sorry there's not more of it.

pretty short game but lovely story and characters, very slow paced and nice to chill with. kind of philosophical, in a good way :)

The best way to describe InKONBINI is if a cosy slice-of-life anime was a video game. There's heart, the characters are charming, your choices and help influences the stories, and you feel deeply connected to the little konbini store you call home for a week. It's filled with a warm nostalgia, a yearning, and it was clearly made with love and care.

Incredible! That's one word that describes inKONBINI. If you're looking for a low pressure, story-based, cozy, store simulator then this game is definitely for you. I actually bought this game twice, on my Nintendo Switch AND on PC and I'm so pleased with both versions. Controls are smooth, atmosphere is the same across both versions also. This game had me, like others, playing until the sun started to rise in the sky, at most the game is six hours give or take, but being able to replay the levels for achievement hunting extends that time, I'd say I've play about 24 hours between Switch and PC. I was disappointed at first because playing through the game I felt as though I did the right steps, I had gotten a bittersweet ending, so I decided to play through it a second time on my pc instead! This time I was able to get a happy ending and it made me relieved that there is a happy ending to this game and to get there it truly takes time and attention to detail in all aspects of the game, from making phone calls, to placements of items on the shelves and the dialogue you have with customers as well. I love the tutorial night rule of fixing the store up BEFORE flipping the open sign,…

This game immersed me so well into not just the story but even the characters in a way i felt i was living this while the gameplay was enough to keep me busy I cried at certain parts at the dialog and advice that was given to the characters. I played the game in a full 7hour sitting, unable to tear myself away, luckily its my day off to do so and it felt well spent that i leave my first ever review on a game. Thank you for the experiance

Good story line, I just hope to get a part 2 of it.
