Hellmart

This is a horror simulation game centered around store management. Your game process lasts for seven days. During the game, you need to keep the store tidy, put goods on shelves, clear the snow, and satisfy the customers. At the beginning of the game, the store should be in a business state, but before that, you need to clean the store and perform replenishment operations. After that, when you open the store, customers will gradually enter. You should promptly replenish goods and handle the cash register. During the game, unexpected events will occur. At first, a man will come to borrow money from you, which will determine the outcome of your game. Remember to always clean your supermarket and use the surveillance to observe if there are any abnormal situations. When night comes, events will happen. Of course, repair and fill your generator to prevent your store from losing light. When you complete a series of tasks and survive until the seventh day, you will reach the end.
day

Standard workshop management. Replenish supplies, clear out spilled items, and serve customers to generate revenue. Goal: Maximize profits by purchasing defensive equipment for the night.
Night shift
The core terrifying experience. Unusual phenomena occur. Use the money earned to buy tools (flashlights, holy water, etc.). Goal: Last until 6 a.m.

This game shares similarities with Scopophobia in that they are both horror games set in a supermarket. The strange customers in both games are definitely things you need to be wary of, and both have a goal to achieve – collecting items. However, the goal of this game is to operate and survive, while our game leans more towards completing tasks and collecting.

My thoughts on this game are that the design is quite interesting, but the essential content is too little, there are too many repetitive operations, the plot is too chaotic and strange, and the player’s gaming experience is not very good. Sometimes, one doesn’t know what to do.
