Minami Lane is an incredibly short but sweet management sim all about creating the most charming little road that you can! Accompanied by a helpful tanuki and beautiful low-fi hip hop soundtracking, you must work resident satisfaction and smart fiscal investing to grow your street to meet specific objectives. In each of the game's five missions, the missions and optional objectives all felt feasible without min-maxing any certain stat or investment scheme, an issue I've had with management sims in general. With a runtime of maybe two hours, it's hard to recommend this as hard as I want to, but with its low buy-in and wholesome enjoyment, I really liked Minami Lane.
I had a lot of fun with this one, but I wish there was more to it. It only took about two hours to complete, and the mechanics were overstaying their welcome in their simplicity. I'd really like to see this concept fully-fleshed out to be more complex and in a larger game. It was still a good time waster that I am glad I played, though.
short but sweet, super comfy and super nice, great music and adorable visuals, love it!
While much shorter than I would have liked, this game is a cozy throwback to titles like roller coaster tycoon, as it asks the player to manage a small strip of land and keep it's customers happy.
The games has two modes of play, a mission mode that acts more like a tutorial than a story, and a sandbox mode where you can customize the rules and goals to your liking. To be honest, if this game didn't have the sandbox mode I doubt it would be worthwhile to play, as my wife and I were able to blaze through the missions in a couple of hours.
Aesthetically it looks cute and the music of the game helps with the quirky design they were going for... Even if it is only the one song. Regardless, of you have a couple dollars to spend and like simple management games you can't go wrong with this one.

Visualmente, creo que es de las cosas más bonitas que he visto en la industria.
El gameplay es muy entretenido si sigues las misiones o el modo libre, pero con límite de presupuesto. No es muy adictivo y cuando la calle crece es complicado poder seguir bien, todos los detalles que suceden. Me gustaría tener esta misma experiencia, pero con un pueblito en lugar de una calle.
Es un juego para experimentarlos ciertos fines de semana donde se quieran relajar con un buen café.

Beautifully casual game that I plan on keeping playing despite getting all the trophies. Great game!
This is such a great cozy lane management simulator. There's a lot to compliment, but it's probably easier for me to just recommend the game and try it yourself.
