Road Map
About the Game
Step into the chaos of the early 2000s retail scene in Midnight Launch: A GameShop Sim — a first-person or third-person co-op management sim where you run your very own video game store.
Stock consoles, run the register, interact and answer customer questions, customize your shop layout, and deal with great and not so great customers. Work solo or enjoy up to a 4 person co-op, manage inventory, unlock licenses, decorate with giant cardboard cutouts, and maybe even survive a return request without a receipt.
Order furniture, games, consoles, and accessories. Make sure to set the perfect price to maximize profits and customer satisfaction!
Customize your character with different outfits, hairstyles, or accessories.
Run the store with your friends! Remember, you're supposed to work together.
Play and unlock new walls, floors, posters and more! Make the store feel like your own.
Customers will sometimes need help navigating your store. Sometimes their their to pick up and order they placed over the phone.
Once your customers are ready to pay you can head to the register and get them sorted.
Place orders for your products and keep your shelves stocked! Keep an eye on your computer's email for the release schedule of any upcoming titles your customer's would want!

Read full update on Steam ↗Demo Update v.0.4.79
Note: These notes also include changes made in v.0.4.78.MultiplayerMultiplayer mode is now fully disabled in the demo. Going into Next Fest, we knew Multiplayer would have some very rough edges. We'd hoped it would be functional enough to at least give an idea of where things are headed, but there are just too many gamebreaking issues for it to be enjoyable. The bugs won this round, but we'll get 'em.GameplayLength of each day has been reduced slightly.Total number of customers visiting each day has been reduced.While the chaos of retail hell is a core part of the GameShop Simulator experience, we overshot the mark a little bit for the demo, which doesn't have the difficulty options that the full release will. These changes should give you a little bit more downtime between customers, and make your time spent stocking up before opening last for more of the day.The demo's Midnight Rele...
