Service Area Simulator

I really wanted to like this game. The trailer looked fun and I am a sucker for Simulation games. However, in the state that the game is currently in, I really can not recommend it. There are some game breaking bugs that prevent you from progressing. Customers either don't visit you at all or you get like 6 per day, which isn't really enough income to cover the bills, let alone unlock later buildings. I can't really say if the game picks up in the fun department once you do unlock more things, like the Motel and Gas Station, but I never really got that far. The controls are clunky, with every tool you have needing to be selected with a little wheel you get by pressing tab, but it is so very slow. Theives just run away before you can even pull out your bat. I just loaded one of my saves and the trays in the restaurant that you put the food on are just gone. Reloading my game did not fix that, so now I can't serve the few customers that do come by. I wish they had spent more time playtesting the core gameplay loop, maybe held off on one of the buildings you can unlock and focused more on polish until everything is smooth. If you really want to try this game, I'd suggest you wait…

At this time I cannot recommend this game, the bugs/glitches and unpolished state leave much to be desired. workers constantly getting stuck in crowds while trying to restock shelves both in store and diner and does not restock the restroom supplies. The stocker also over do it on the store shelves for example if a shelf holds 8 of a product an the box comes in as 9 they will place the 9th on the second shelf blocking other products from being placed forcing you to micromanage the entire thing which is even more annoying in the diner as it forces a lockup in the diner saying I have a food item when its not accessible to the diner workers until I go in an either force the customer out by hitting them or finding an rotating stock which may or may not be in said workers hands blocking that attempt. the cleaner fixates on one area leaving the rest to ruin again forcing you to micromanage both spots (i've only unlocked the gas station beyond the main 2 areas) the cleaner also does not touch the restrooms leaving it up to the player while you can apparently only hire 1 cleaner (again only got to the gas station but not seeing further unlocks for this worker type) shoplifters while very …

Seems like a fun game but i can't get past the tutorial. The truck keeps spinning and wont make it to the store so that i can stock the shelves. Right now ill say no, hopefully an update can fix the problem and change my response

Service Area Simulator is a very challenging game, I haven't played any game like this anywhere, but this game has a bit of lag and the shopkeeper gets stuck in one place. Overall this game is awesome....

Multiple game-breaking bugs have been reported to the devs, both in the forums and on their Discord. None of them have been addressed. The devs put out a single update five days after launch and have been radio silent since then. Can only assume the title underperformed and they've stopped work on it. PlayWay is listed as a publisher on this title. Over the past year they've seemed willing to publish anything that has "Simulator" in the title (just take a look at their publisher page). They've put out a few good titles this year, like Cheap Car Repair, but the majority look to be turds like this one. They really need to do more quality control on the games they are publishing, unless they want to wear the shovelware crown.

As much as i have had fun playing for a few hours. Game does show potential however there are a couple of bugs that need addressing 1) Delivery arrives but then truck constantly performs donuts, meaning delivery becomes stuck 2)staff get stuck in fridge or stuck behind a customer. 3) sometimes find myself falling through the map.
