This… felt fairly run-of-the-mill. It’s one of those ‘job simulator’ sort of games, where the horror comes as something slowly creeping into your status quo, and it… sure does hit the exact same beats I’ve seen in games like these before. It’s hard to really remember much about it, in all honesty: it does all the things you’d expect a game like this to do but it doesn’t particularly have the creativity or style to make those things seem fun or unique or interesting. Most of what comes to mind were the gameplay frustrations — the trek to the titular convenience store every night where nothing ever happens, the puzzles/gameplay sections which just felt kinda finicky and annoying, how a lot of the game is just waiting for the next thing to happen so you can wait for the next thing to happen. Perhaps if it was shorter, and maybe got to the point a little quicker, I’d be more willing to vibe with it, but as is… there are other games out there that do everything this game is going for but better. 5/10.
