Console Repair Simulator Demo

About this demoThe demo is the opening of Console Repair Simulator: a short prologue and the first three days in Uncle Tetsu's shop, about 40 minutes of play. Uncle's bench. Unlock the shop, sit down at the repair mat and bring Uncle's old PX Go back to life with a battery swap. Three shop days. Stock the shelves, set your prices, ring up customers, take your first trade-ins and haggle, including with a flipper who knows exactly what his console is worth.

Four machines on the mat. A PX Go with stick drift, a PX One that needs a new laser, a Super 16 that needs a full restoration and a PocketPal with corroded battery contacts. The Game Saloon. Day 3 ends with the grand opening of the top-floor game cafe. Your uncle's shop. Your repair bench. Uncle Tetsu has left you the keys to his console shop on a quiet Tokyo back street. The shelves are thin, the workshop is dusty and the top floor is taped off.

You have a little cash, a toolbox and one dead handheld on the bench. Sell new consoles and games. Buy used ones from customers who may or may not be telling you everything. Fix what is broken, one screw at a time, and turn three cramped floors into the neighbourhood's favourite retro hangout. Sell, buy and haggleRun the counter.…
