Discounty is an exciting store management simulation game from the developer Crinkle Cut Games. You will play as a supermarket manager called to the town of Blomkest to help your aunt run the Discounty supermarket chain. This is not just a simple simulation game but a mysterious storytelling adventure with special local residents.


The game offers a realistic supermarket management experience with charming pixel art graphics. You need to maintain store operations from 6 AM to midnight, including arranging goods, cleaning the store, checking out customers, and negotiating trade deals. The special feature is the initial manual payment system, requiring you to enter the price of each product using the numeric keypad, creating a realistic feeling like working for real.

The town of Blomkest holds many interesting secrets with residents who have distinct personalities. Each character has their own personal story and unique tasks, from the grumpy farmer to the old lady who always waits in front of the store every morning. Building relationships with them not only brings special local products but also opens up fascinating stories about small-town life.

The progression system in Discounty is very attractive with unlocking new products through two methods: completing sales targets to earn experience points and making trade agreements with the locals. You can upgrade the store from the initial small cramped space into a large supermarket with a wide variety of goods ranging from bread, meat to specialized frozen products.

The game has a playtime of about 15-20 hours for the main campaign, with about 40 days in-game divided into three chapters. Every Sunday, the store is closed and you can explore the town, complete side quests, and learn more about the family's secrets. Great music and sound design create a relaxing atmosphere, making store management enjoyable rather than stressful.

Discounty is highly rated by critics with a score of 76/100 on OpenCritic. The game is praised for its addictive gameplay loop, beautiful pixel art graphics, and the ability to turn retail work into an enjoyable and relaxing experience. However, some reviews point out that the story can be a bit confusing and lacks depth in some aspects.
