CAPITALISM, HO!
See this at #3 on Steam's Top Sellers list and I'm like WAT.
Read that it is a doujin(indie) game. :| Doujin game on Steam. :|
Download demo... plays likes a SIM THEME ATELIER ITEM SHOP TYCOON.
It's kinda awesome. :B
But what makes me want to really purchase this game is that if this sells well (it is already I guess since it's at fookin #3), the guys who are localizing this would probably do more Japanese indie games.
Also, Japanese indie developers would see that there is a market for their games all over the world.
Also; it's cheap.
Don't let the cutesy graphics turn you off. The localization is pretty good (and funny at some parts too). Give it a try.
It will run even on your old shitty computer.
So has anyone else played the demo?
DEMO HERE: http://www.carpefulgur.com/recettear/demo.htm or on Steam if you are classy.
(Since this is an indie game, it has no DRM and will probably be pirated by a lot of you fuckers. > Heh.)
