Hello,

Over the past two weeks, we have almost entirely reworked the game. We understand that the previous build did not meet some of your expectations, so we are asking you to give it another go. We hope you enjoy it more.

NOTE: Previous save games will be unusable after this update. We apologize for this, but there is nothing we can do as it's a different game now.

• Added store level progression.
  
• Added store size progression.
  
• Added ability to order shelves and other store equipment (fruit racks, checkouts, etc.).
  
• Added fruits and vegetables.
  
• Added store name customization.

[What's next for Grocery Store Simulator: Prologue?]

Thank you for playing the game as it currently stands. We intentionally made the prologue very limited to give players a brief feel of the full game's atmosphere. However, after reading all your reviews and discussions, we've decided to implement more features from the full game into the prologue. Here's what to expect in the coming week:
• Game saves.
  
• Limited store level progression. (unlockable store size, items, shelves)
  
• Shelf placement.
  
• Character customization.

Game save update will arrive shortly.
