Studio perelesoq, known for the game Torn Away, has announced its newest project Snow Town Geek Store. This narrative simulation game transports players back to the 2000s, where you’ll take on the role of a clerk in a retro-inspired geek store. Filled with the nostalgia of that era, the game will be available for PC via Steam, though a release date has not yet been revealed.
In Snow Town Geek Store, you play as a high school dropout trying to turn her life around. The main goal is to save enough money to treat your hard-working mother to a well-deserved vacation while simultaneously working towards a better future for yourself. To achieve this, you’ll need to sell a variety of classic geek products, such as video game CDs like Half-Life and The Sims 2, movie discs featuring hits like Shrek, and snacks such as Cheetos, beer, and Hubba Bubba gum.
Connecting with customers is a key part of the game. As the store clerk, you’ll chat with visitors to learn their preferences, resolve their issues, and decide how to handle each situation. Your decisions will affect the store’s reputation and your success. Along the way, you might even catch the attention of a mysterious emo girl if you play your cards right.
The game features a unique visual style that combines vibrant, third-person pixelated graphics with first-person segments inspired by the 3D graphics of PlayStation 1 games. This combination of aesthetics perfectly captures the atmosphere of the early 2000s. The soundtrack further enriches the experience, drawing inspiration from classic 8-bit games and the iconic The Sims series.
