But it still requires more than three sounds, one music piece, no animations besides walking and the occasional wobbling of someone who is waiting. As "Rimworld" or "Prison Architect" have shown you don't need pristine 3D-graphics for that. The UI is functional at best, and whoever made this does not understand that a huge chunk of the fun in any kind of building and management simulation is watching you handiwork. You don't have a reputation, you don't have events, the weather doesn't matter (as far as there is weather), children or even families don't exist, and the range of products fits right in by being extremely limited. You can build a labyrinth with a cheese in form of one shelve with tampons and one shelve with men's underwear, and congrats: You have a profitable business as long as there is a working cashier and enough parking space to fill the waiting row. He is completely oblivious to his surroundings, he has all the time in world, even though there are a few needs in place, but the only one that might get interesting is hunger, and if you don't have a restaurant, he will buy that randomly chosen product, and drive home again. Did you decorate? Is there trash lying around? Is it a long way? Are there many people around? Is that product still there and is he ok with the quality and the price? Well, bummer: You can't set quality and price of that product. Your customer will then move towards the shelve that has that product, and in a *good* simulation everything that happens in between would matter. He will decide what that product is based on some general data that is supposed to be "demand" and that is, apart from some seasonal events, completely arbitrary. The "simulation" is still a joke: A "customer" decides to go your mall to buy *one* product.
I honestly don't know what they've done in the meantime, but they certainly ignored every little bit of feedback they got. Just like it was when I played it years ago when it just came out into Early Access. It will feature several different departments, and you will have to manage the building, products, parking space, hire and fire personnel and even deal with thieves. It will feature several different departments, and you will have to manage the building, According to the description you are building a mall. According to the description you are building a mall.
