Thrifty Business, a vintage thrift shop management simulation set in the 90s, is set to launch on PC in 2026.
Game Features and Gameplay
Players manage a thrift shop, exploring boxes of pre-loved items and creating appealing displays. Users can unlock and customize furniture, decorations, wallpaper, and flooring to build a welcoming space. Precise placement allows for grouping items by color, theme, or purpose to gain community points, unlocking more features.
- Over 500 items to display and arrange.
- Customization options include furniture, wallpaper, flooring, and decor.
- Game avoids price haggling and features no impatient customers.
Community Engagement
Listening to customer stories and fulfilling their requests is a part of the game. Events for hobbyists can transform the store into a valued community hub. The gameplay is a laid-back experience focusing on community-building rather than stressful management strategies.
Design and Atmosphere
The game boasts colorful, 90s-inspired graphics, a quirky cast of customers, and intentionally relaxed mechanics to ensure a cozy atmosphere. The goal is to build a charming third space in the community without the pressures typical of management sims.
An announcement trailer was also released showcasing the game's features.
