What you often see in cozy games is moving to a small island or rustic neighborhood, using farms and shops to activate it, and a new life in a sweet but neglected small town. These vibes are definitely present in the supermarket management sim discount...At least at first. 

In Discounty, you've been summoned to the quiet little harbor town of Blomkest by your aunt to take over a dilapidated grocery store. You need to clean places, stock up your shelves, make deals with local manufacturers and keep your customers happy while knowing them and grow your dumpy shop into a beautiful and efficient store. Sounds great!

But there's something else going on in the discount trailer revealed today on Wholesome Direct today. The act of becoming a successful business person is seasoned with a dash of capitalist dystopia.

"By opening a discount franchise, you can transform the most modest small town into an attractive regional business hub," We Presley I think opening a charming small discount grocery store is the first rung of the ruthless ladder of capitalism, and everyone in this small town can help you transform your business into an empire that will crush the competition. I don't feel like I want to see my business grow.

"You don't settle for good enough, are you?"Before the trailer goes completely off the rails, the narrator continues, showing protesters picketing outside your discount store, toxic waste polluting the river, and black smoke billowing from industrial chimneys. Are you saving this cute little town or destroying it?

I am always up for a new shop sim, and I love the idea that there is an impact on success, because there is always. There's always 1, so it's also nice to see the idyllic little town show the dark side. Discounts are coming to PC sometime next year.
