“There have been many different kinds of “cozy life” sim games that have taken standard jobs and made them more charming than they seem. The most common of these happen to be farming games or those that blend farming and magic together to help bridge the gap a bit. Along these same lines we’ve seen things like fishing games, undertaking, and more but few happened to focus on something that most people dread, working in retail. That happens to be where developer Crinkle Cut Games and PQube have ventured into with Discounty, placing players in charge of a rural supermarket that would give nightmares to any longtime retail employee. Packaged in a colorful presentation and solid mechanics set in a town with more behind its charming aesthetic, is Discounty a successful take on a cozy retail game?”
