As an employee working in this supermarket, your duties include organizing the shelves, restocking, and dealing with customers. However, in the game, these annoying customers have been transformed into an endless stream of people who are never satisfied and constantly interrupting you. They are mindless losers and monsters who know nothing. The leader is like a relentless rule machine that leaves you no room to breathe. It makes your stress levels skyrocket. The only way to cope is to try to complete your tasks while avoiding the customers’ inquiries as much as possible. This game is the one that we refer to the most for scopophobia. It features a picking-up mechanism, crazy customers chasing you, demanding tasks to complete, and terrifying stares.
Based on my personal experience, this game has indeed achieved the effect of causing intense stress and fear, and the psychological pressure is also very substantial.
The customers who might turn up at any moment during gameplay and the missions teetering on the brink of failure left me feeling anxious; I experienced first-hand the pressure and difficulties faced by front-line staff. The music is also very fast-paced; overall, it feels more like a chase-style horror game, with management elements serving merely as missions—and there are very few of them.
