unlabelledView post →TL;DR This is the most depressing and bleak "cozy" game I have ever played. I wish I could recommend it, because the gameplay is pretty good, but the story, characters, and setting are all so unpleasant it just made me depressed. Only get and play this game if you think characters being mean to each other is funny or if you don't care about the story. Almost every cutscene is hostile, mean-spirited, and characters are constantly being awful to each other. The game also forces you into being a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So this review sucks to write. I rarely don't recommend a game. Even if I don't like it I can usually say "I didn't like this but I think someone else will". I can't do that here just because of how much I didn't enjoy the game by the end & it's in 100% because of the story. This is gonna have spoilers but I'll spoiler cover. Let's get the stuff I did like out of the way. I bought the game was because I played the demo & the game play loop was satisfying. I was looking forward to upgrading my…

unlabelledView post →I was rooting for you, we were all rooting for you! How dare you?! Usually I wouldn't care to write a negative review, and just wouldn't play a game I don't like, but I did like this one. Loved it, actually; up until the very end. And then it felt like mid, or even a third of the way into development the team just decided to call it a day. When I was deciding whether to get it, I remember seeing reviews saying the game didn't feel finished. I thought to myself then, well, it can't be that bad,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →***CONTAINS SPOILERS*** I’m feeling conflicted about this one. I was truly enjoying the loop, and the store page suggests 15–20 hours of gameplay, yet I’ve finished every quest in under 10 hours. Despite being out of Early Access, the game feels incomplete. There are so many narrative threads and locations that lead nowhere: Housing & Progression: Do I live in a trailer forever? There is an abandoned house next to Tammy’s mansion that seems like a logical upgrade, but it's never…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to like this game a lot ever since I saw the idea on social media. I did have fun with it in the beginning. The core gameplay loop is solid, but there's.. not much else? And the story is.. not good. The mechanics aren't that deep, and never get much deeper than maybe throwing around a few boosters and making sure there's space to walk around. Decoration doesn't matter and there's hardly any room to decorate anyways. I filled my trailer with random junk I bought from Solruna only to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DISCOUNTY IS SO FUN! 👏🏻🎮💜 after many weeks of not finding a video game to hold my brain, Discounty has broken the curse! i love the art style, the music, the characters, and how chill it is to play. 😌 i’m still in the early stages of the game, but i am having a BLAST! i recommend this one already!
unlabelledView post →Discounty is a game that started with so much power but failed going forward. As other reviews says, this title takes a nice mix between Stardew Valley and a supermarket type game for managing resources and the cash register, both of those gameplay aspects blends really well, too bad you feel like there is no progression at all. Yes you do get a few expansions of your store but other than that you have no way to make it yours. The story was OK at the start but lost his grip after a bit.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I finished Mafia: The Old Country! Great game. Had minor issues with bugs and would've liked a less predictable story, but at least it's written well! I was expecting there to be *a lot* more knife fights than there actually were based off of other posts I've seen. Will review after Discounty 💗

unlabelledView post →I wish there was a better rating system on Steam than to recommend or not. I'd give it 3/5 stars. I like the grey moral choices, the mechanics of running the store, and the art style, but I wish there was more. I finished the game and thought "Oh, that's it?", it felt half finished. The majority of the characters are not likeable, and interacting with them is not very interesting. I think there's a lot to like about Discounty, but you have to know that the game is short and simple.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want to say that I do really like this game and enjoy it! But in the end I cannot recommend it to other players. This doesn't feel done, despite me having a "you won the game!" award. I paid $12 for the game, I think? and it's normally $20. For a $20 game, it feels like only half a game in the end. Why was I still working on Discounty points if I wasn't striving for anything new? An NPC asks about delivery service -- this can't become a thing? The teen character's story is underwritten, as is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After playing the postgame to max, I must say I have to agree with everyone who says it feels like Early Access. Story points never pay off and after halfway through to the credits the store essentially stops evolving. You will never find any purpose to the several giant ruined buildings in town, which are teased to be ominous. You will never expand your store to a level that feels comfortable. Three outfits and a handful wallpapers, which is really lacking. The soundtrack and sound design…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Been playing Discounty all day. It’s a low-pressure cozy game about running a supermarket in an odd little town full of secrets. First time in over a month I’ve been able to put my troubles out of my mind for an extended period of time and just exist. Thank goodness for games.

unlabelledView post →I wish there was a "it's ok" rating cause that's what I would give it. The Pros Very few bugs and the ones you do experience are not game breaking The gameplay loop is fun, managing the shop and then running around town to gather supplies and talk to people is a tried and true loop that many find enjoyable. There is a clearly defined story and it appears to have a conclusive end (I have not reached the end) The art style is nice. The Cons The characters are awful: Everyone just sucks.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You know how some games will have the text boxes show up one letter at a time? Then go through the dialogue like that... This game does a lot of that, right at the start... There's no way to make the text all show up at once. There's no option for that. I only gave this game a very short amount of time, because the opening takes absolutely ages, and I can read faster than the text shows up.... Devs, add an option to have text just show up, for people who are fast readers.... Because this is…

unlabelledView post →Worth every minute ♥ Discounty completely pulled me in. Once I got close to the end, I couldn't stop playing until I had finished the game. I was really happy with the ending I got, it felt like the perfect conclusion to the story for me and made the whole journey even more rewarding. Knowing there are different endings also gives me a reason to come back and see what else could have happened. Definitely a game I'll remember for a long time. ♥ ︵‿︵‿☾ 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 ☽︵‿︵‿ 🤍 One of the best…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The first 15-20 hours I spent with this game was EXCELLENT! So cozy, quirky (obviously Danish), interesting and a good balance between casual and intruiging. But the ending and how the game slows down to a limp towards the end soured the entire experience. It felt more like an early access game, with so much unused potential. The feeling of satisfaction that the game built up didn't stick the landing at all. Play this for 15 hours and don't finish it, and you'll be so happy with your…

unlabelledView post →Okay so this game was insanely addicting, and I couldn't stop playing it, played it with at the same time with my husband and we were both completely obsessed. The loop was SO addicting, and you kept wanting to progress to see what would happen next. But my god the ending was horrible. Nothing was concluded, the fog was still in the air, and nothing in town was fixed. It felt like the devs decided to cut off the game early and publish it. You couldn't influence anything in the game, so it felt…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very close to being a recommendation. However, there are too many frustrating barriers to a streamlined cozy shop management experience. For example: You have your main store items that you order through the computer. This experience is very similar to other shop/management games. In the interface, you can see your cost, profit, your current stock, etc. Great! However, as you progress through the game, you develop "trade deals" with local vendors, and their stock ends up being a…

unlabelledView post →Discounty starts off strong by setting up an interesting cast of characters with their own distinct personalities and motivations, which I very looked forward to unraveling and diving into. The moment to moment gameplay was also strong and initially suggested a lot of room for growth and creativity. The town, albeit quite small, also felt like it had a lot of potential to change as you progress. However, as I progressed and eventually finished the main story, it became more and more of a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've had this game wishlisted for a long time, but put off buying due to reviews regarding an 'abrupt ending'. Having bought and played it since the People or Profit update, I think this game is VERY much worth the price now and has been a very satisfying experience both narratively and gameplay-wise! Would recommend to anyone who enjoys small-town mystery and management sims. To the devs, I would love to see some QOL updates in the future but will make a discussion post for those :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was looking for something like SV and saw this title recommended by someone (on YouTube or TikTok), so I gave it a try. The beginning of the game looks promising, but the further you go, the more boring it gets. There’s a building in each part of the map that I was hoping would be unlocked later in the game, but that never happened. The game says it’s version 1.1, but it shouldn’t even be a 1.0. It feels like an unfinished product.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Noticed there was an update so I clicked on the page, only to learn the devs had taken my review down lmao wow, cant take any constructive criticism i see. Shady. I'll just say it again. This game starts out pretty strong, but plays like a 'my first dev project" game after. Progression is slow and unmeaningful, multiple plot points end abruptly without any real resolution, the big mystery introduced in the beginning is a giant red herring, so are all the dilapidated buildings around town. It…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to give this game a positive crave (myself included). Amazing art style, great music and excellent gameplay. Personally didn't run into a single bug which I feel like is rare these days. However it feels lacking, The bones of a game are here with the base mechanics all worked out and working well may I add. But it feels like half a game, I personally feel the story line should have been more about exploring the expansion of a small town and your small discount shop capitalising…

unlabelledView post →I played this game to the end, by which point I was deeply frustrated with what felt like a bait-and-switch. This game sets itself up as a shop simulator ... your aunt invites you to help her run her store ... but actually it's a story-driven game about corporate disempowerment. And on some level, you could argue they succeeded. By the end, I refused to go to work one day. I got zapped into work, but I sulked in the back room until all the customers left. And the next day? The customers…

unlabelledView post →Played this back when it came out and it stuck with me. Maybe things changed over time but I have no desire to go back into the game to find out. Discounty has an extremely good set up when it comes to running the store. That was easily the most enjoyable part of the game. Switching how you ring people up was a bit clunky at first but did make me go faster. I wish that I could have moved the shelves around a bit easier to experiment with new layouts. It was far too much of a hassle to try…

unlabelledView post →It's fun and cute but not worth $20.00. Very short game, approximately 20 hours of gameplay. I recommend to get it on discount-y. PS- If you're looking for an easy game to get 100% achievements on, be warned: the apple selling achievement took well over 12+ hours post story, which is incredibly boring and repetitive.

unlabelledView post →When I first saw this game, I was excited because I thought that it would be like Stardew Valley, or Chef RPG, or Travellers Rest, but the twist was that you run a store. But as I played it I realized... there's very little to do other than running the store. Maybe I'm just weird but I like it when you can do other things, like go to diners and eat there, or hot springs and chill there, a lot of games these days do things like that now and it always makes me happy even if some people may…

unlabelledView post →Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale came out in 2010 and is a far better shop-simulator than Discounty. The only thing Discounty does well is fetch quest. And don't we all just love fetch quest... By the end of the game, I despised every cutesy villager. Discounty is clearly attempting to capture the charm of games like Stardew Valley and then completely fails in that regard because of bad writing and storytelling. Playing this was a slog where I was expecting the game to develop into something…

Maintaining the shop started to feel like a chore amd stopped becoming fun. Much like manning a real shop. If that was the developers intention then they suceeded. But when I am at home on my down time, it's not what I want.
