2 Arriving in Town
After character creation, you'll see a bus cutscene. Follow the bus to reach the bus stop. Once you get off, head to the right to find your aunt's house. Your aunt will guide you to the supermarket - your new workplace called "Discounty"!
After showing you the store, your aunt will leave, and it's time to enter the supermarket and begin your retail adventure.
3 Meeting Grace & Getting Your Tools
Walk to the back of the store to meet Grace, the sales manager. She'll handle your orientation and provide essential tools:
🔧 PDA Device
Your personal digital assistant for managing inventory, checking prices, and tracking tasks. Click the popup to view the PDA tutorial.
🎒 Tool Belt
A magical storage device that can hold an incredible amount of items despite its small size - think of it as Doraemon's pocket! Use it to carry and transport goods around the store.
4 Setting Up Shop
Head to the warehouse next door where a delivery person is waiting. Go inside to find shelves ready for placement. Arrange them in your store strategically - this is your first major decision as a store manager!
🛒 Your First Customer
After placing shelves, the store opens for business! Head to the checkout counter to serve your first customer.

After completing the sale, speak with Grace again before leaving. Your aunt will be waiting outside to take you home - a cozy old RV that's surprisingly warm and welcoming inside!
