Super funny game! Loved the characters and loved the puzzle of picking the right item for them! With this game I can finally fulfill my dream of running a thrift shop in Milwaukee

Really funny concept for a game! I liked the diverse cast of customers - I never really knew who was gonna come through the door or what I'd have to offer them. Leaving the Shutterstock logo on everything made me chuckle. Good stuff!

That was beyond hilarious. Actually had me in tears over all the absurd items available, the characters and their names, and sometimes (frequently) providing the wrong ones just to see what would happen—and even the title is fantastic at inspiring curiosity. Played it with some friends and I think that only made the experience better. The stock photos were absolutely masterfully combined into the perfect setting. There's not much in the way of actual gameplay to comment on, but the humor makes up for it *in spades*. Absolutely one of my favorite games this jam. Thank you.

Not much gameplay going on here, but got a good laugh out of me hahaha. Fun little experience! Only managed to get one item right though.

I enjoyed it! The watermarked images were a great idea, and the voice acting was fun.

The writing for this game is both great in quantity and quality. I had to stifle myself from laughing too loud at 0200 in the morning. The game reminds me of a channel on Youtube called Ricesnot. You should check it out if you haven't.
