[@digimaui]

The only thing unrealistic about this game is the customers actually say "excuse me"

[@SimBits]

Me: Hi, how are you today? :) Customer: (throws a bag at me across the counter) I have to return this >:/

[@TinyToadSage]

God anytime a customer said "excuse me", I'd freeze up real bad. Thank god I got out of retail.

[@paladinslash4721]

Forget about excuse me, the protagonist can pay for an apartment with just the retail job

[@frankhorrigan1508]

Tbf i feel bad about you retail workers there in 1st world countries, i live in a 3rd world one and here the costumers were never rude, but i had a LOT of the ones who have like 500 cards to pay,

[@lachlann4335]

And the please help me. It’s usually “find it now!”

[@f3player]

When i worked in retail, i thought it was weird how every customer would immediately target me for things but not the veterans of the store. It took me a couple of months to realize that the vets would keep a low profile by wearing their jackets over their vests, taking off their vests to go on break, pretending to be really busy so no one would ask them things, and sending the new hires to do work on the floor

[@mvshenhon8966]

Work moment

[@bryanpineda2096]

I'll keep that in mind.

[@idontknowyoumitch]

Yeeep. Pretty much. After a while you learn to blend in. I stopped wearing my name tag at work after the first year or so.

[@SinTeller]

For some reason costumers approach me even if my arms are full of heavy product. I do wear my jacket to try and blend in though. If I see someone go for a newbie I help out just because I know how much it sucks to get swarmed all the time when you don't even know the place.

[@dandychiggins7240]

Un-ironicly one of the scariest and most stress inducing jobs... I mean games

If they made a horror game where you work in a busy sub restaurant it would be my nightmare lol, i could never use that stupid deadly slicer fast enough

[@rei_cultist]

This game is truly representing the pain cashiers and retail workers do every day...I will respect them more now

[@theotv5522]

Back when I was in uni, I worked as a kitchen hand despite applying for a waiter position. It was my first job so I took it anyway. Then turns out being waiters are actually miles better than whatever the hell is happening in the kitchen, which was why all the waiter position were taken. I haven't worked with customers in retail as per say, but tbh I can't relate with the meme of customers being all bad and rude. My coworkers in the kitchen was actually hell to work with and I see their same faces/tantrum every shift, whereas rude customers can be here and there (I assume)

[@gobberquilachamin6911]

They need to make a Black Friday chapter that's nothing but pure chaos.

[@theamazingcowlet]

That's a good DLC idea! It could be an endless survival mode with time records

[@bensoncheung2801]

[@LinksBetweenDrinks]

Would need to add a mechanic where the customers can trample the baby and throw boxes at each other.

[@LeonserGT]

That would be an epilogue

[@Mayogus]

i like how the customers get completely peeved when you take longer than 10 seconds to bring them somewhere but are completely fine with you tossing probably heavy box at them

[@user-hh5xl3mu5v]

first comment

[@micheal7932]

I just noticed that the mother is wearing either a tactical baby carrier... or body armor. I went back to the original video and she was wearing it back then as well. Also, I'm glad the dev kept all the references from the original version.

[@mistybloo52]

When the first version of the game came out, I was still a student however my introvertedness still freaked out. But now I am in retail, so NOW the retail horror hits. What a day, Mr. Nightmare posts supermarket horror stories and now this, ha.

[@rz9279]

Lol. Same situation for me.

[@himynameiskobey.7994]

I'm glad they're continuing this game, there was intresting peices of lore sprinkled throughout the orginal and I'm happy to see more.

[@noodlesandwich2945]

I think he missed the pizza guy. I'm not sure how to trigger it, but after some time, he knocks on your door and does a little dance. His theme is also really catchy.

[@Marta_OuO]

Also the game ideas is cool in general

[@matthewsteele99]

I noticed the Lester is missing sign doesn't appear on first day anymore

[@Milioceantion]

I really like the hidden messages in every single name of product. Like one can of paint says "pain", or "get out" instead of "cool kids" juice. It's cool

[@donovanjoseph737]

Must be really confusing for the customers though lol

[@LunarCatKan]

Yh I don’t remember which product. (Edit: nevermind it was cleaning) one says “kill them now” which I’m assuming refers to the manager?

[@Pacster15]

The true horror in life is not monsters, but the monsters people tend to be at retail.

[@Frenchaboo]

Ah yes, the game that made me feel guilty about ever asking any employees about anything in a store

[@DylanJo123]

Its obviously an exaggeration. Just dont be a dick when asking for help and read the room. Dont bother someone if theyre busy with something

[@shivwesker4171]

Welcome to retail! 😂

[@bloodytub]

It's funny how they speak to the manager when you're too slow to get them to the right lane but not when you throw boxes at their heads

[@KardKardus]

Yoo i never realized thaat

[@GenericProtagonist7]

They should add a customer who is very courteous and polite, they never rush you down and if they ask you to find something they aren't timed like the other customers, but if you hit them with a box accidentally you get fired unlike normal shoppers.

[@sandwich3044]

I will always love how accurately they captured the horror of working as a floor staff in retail, right down to the bloody dude asking for the aisle he is standing in. Like damn who didnt wanna just hide in the backroom when its busy and you helped so many dang people nonstop and got like 20% of your work done. I'll look forward to night 2 if you play it.

[@IWingEm]

I'm so glad this game got an update! It's unique and relatable. Though I'm scared about that Karen; she may be instant death if she finds you...

[@paodeskate822]

Nice hypotesis

[@readintimely2517]

I ADORE how some of the items say weird stuff when your stalking the shelf, Like the Ketchup saying “your waisting your life” List of items and the changes. Ketchup: Your waisting your life Dog soup: You’re stuck Miracle Cream: Waisting away Cool kids: Get out (Could not read a thing on the video games) Paint: Pain Kill them now: You are a loser (Didn’t see anything different on knife set)

[@Colddirector]

I think the videogame one is just a reference to the haunted ps1 demo disk, so no change.

[@noahmcdonald2993]

I swear the ketchup at one point also said "I know where you live" on a bottle

[@Meddio2]

Ah yes. Waisting.

[@extinctgraph9150]

Return of the century! :D I always love when Manly replays games that have been updated or playing a sequel or tie in to that game! So glad this game got an update! Can’t wait to see more!

[@arcticsekai2907]

100% accurate to retail jobs... I agree with the other comments, the only unrealistic thing is when the customers actually say 'excuse me.' I can't wait to see more development of this. Unlike true retail - this was actually fun, I really enjoyed watching this.

[@galaxycamerata]

I never realized until today that the intro gives you such a nice visual tutorial about all the mechanics. You have to put your stuff in your locker using the mechanics to place items on the shelf, and Jimmy shows you that you use break rooms to reset aggro and can throw boxes to stun customers.

[@Locurafia]

I like the tiny amount of references they made to other horror games like Baldi's or Spooky's jumpscare mansion.

[@SketchyDoctor]

This really feels like one of those old arcade games!

9/10 retail simulator. The game is just missing customers who ask you to go grab stuff they forgot from their list for them while they wait in the checkout line.

[@bruhderp]

It would be kinda cool to see this game in a VR or Multiplayer form. Would be funny to play something like this with friends.

[@hansalanson3497]

[@Snyperwolf91]

You are not alone . Im Vet too . Working almost 5 years in a gas-station in germany called jet . Sometimes there are things in life that scarred you forever . But in retail the are wounds that could open anytime again. It aint a bad job actually but man ... there are people out there which you question their sanity and sometimes even their existence . Sometime you got people that cant be related as a human . Weird shit . My job hardened me mentally but i honestly still think this chaos of uncontrolled consoomerism has something in store which maybe could be considered almot eldritch in its worst stages . And im not joking.

[@Cyberfreq94]

Try 13 years bro, it will change you.

[@strilight]

@@Snyperwolf91 It's true, anyone who lasts for longer than a year in retail has had or has developed the ability to mentally endure stuff that regular people can't. Retail has taught me many useful communications skills to get through the thick skulls of potato-brained human wastes-of-flesh, I've moved on to HVAC/Plumbing now and every single "problematic" customer they've warned me about has been no issue for me to deal with.

[@CatfacedVampVeronika]

[@ZNecks17]

Not a second game, but a second night. That Karen will probably be insta-death though.

[@raistlin3462]

After discovering the secret room I assumed the manager was a serial killer or something, you known the typical plot twist. Turns out he only wants the employee to keep coming, enduring the same treatment, six days a week, for minimal wage with no benefits, until you cannot take it anymore. .... Maybe I would have preferred the serial killer.

[@XH1927]

At least the serial killer is up front about wanting to take your life

This is awesome to hear! I actually just recently looked back into this game a couple weeks ago, because I had wondered if anyone solved the door thing, if there even was something there. So to hear they're remaking it and adding more has got me excited, as this is a perfect example of a scary, stressful, realistic yet non "horror" game I've seen.

I've been waiting a sequel for a long time!

[@Larry.R]

As a Walmart Canada employee, I can confirm this is what an average night looks and feels like. This game's great, I wish it was available on STEAM, but I guess that's just how germfood rolls. I like how when you have to help a customer, the music starts off slow and then gradually gets faster to create that form of suspense. Very Sonic The Hedgehog-like.

Plus, this has been an awful week. Having good news like this is a Godsend!

[@arbok1312]

The new customer is 100% a Karen and likely will either cause your timer to drain faster or she'll change her mind about where she wants you to take her and have multiple things she wants at once leading to longer delay

[@spectrekp5888]

From what I can tell, the new customer type is a Karren, who are quite famous for saying "I WANT to SEE your MANAGER". But considering that would be an instant loss, and it's only night 2.. it might be a mechanic where if you don't service them after a certain amount of time, they'll demand to see the manager, or they might ask you to "Go search for the thing they want because you *must* have it stocked in the back"

[@guynamedrick4419]

Well jf they add enemies I hope they add passive npcs like the baby

[@guynamedrick4419]

Well here are some consumer ideas Bodybuilder threat level minor: immune to box throwing but moves slowly and knocks over other customers Karen threat level major: pathetically slow and can get distracted by other customers however she has the least patience of each consumer and its an instant game over if you hit her with a box

[@MrJefferson07]

It could also be the "Too good for ur time" customer, he send you searching for a precise item, and he will "stay" in the same position while you do, the only point is that he actually moves randomly while supposed to be waiting for you.
