Shop-Like - The Rogue-Like Item Shop Experience
A downloadable game for Windows
An Item-Shop Game meets the concept of roguelikes!
Endless Replayability and countless options to victory are awaiting you in Shop-Like!
Shop-Like is all about running a business in order to pay your debts, so you will not land in the brutal hands of debt slavery.
Variety of Strategy and Depth
Shop-Like offers a variety of play styles. You don't care about the quality of your sold items? Invest in Vending Machines and sell in quantities!
Do you want to serve your customers individually and exploit their unique traits and get them to pay 400% of the market price for your items? Analyze your customers and hand-pick the perfect item for them.
Reading the newspaper and don't like that the prices for Healing Potions went down? Have a talk with the media and convince them to put down the message, heck just strongarm them to create your own news and let the prices skyrocket!
Endless Replayability
Upgrades: Collect Random Upgrades that will make each run completely different. With over 50 different upgrades to raise your profits ranging from exploiting weak customers to being able to create masterful items.
Randomly Generated Customers: Each Customer is better or worse for your business. Some like red-colored items, and others are awfully good at haggling prices.
Mid-Game Crisis: Every run feels the same? Not in Shop-Like! Each run features a crisis that can flip your whole run into chaos!
Difficulties: Shop-Like features various difficulties in the form of different towns where you can try your luck. Unlock them one by one and try to beat them all as the challenge gets tougher and tougher.
Also: This game has tax evasion! How many games do you know that feature tax evasion???

Hi I want to make a fantasy shop game and in it I am going to include tax fraud and the stock market
I'm going to spend some time talking to Genghis and purchasing potions from my buddy to sell to an adventurer who loves fire and then I'm going to hire 15 accountants to defraud the government
Finally I am going to assasinate my buddy genghis because I realised he was one of the poors and then start a psy-ops campaign to make the populace believe that potions are ineffective in order to buy the dip
+1 great game
Really great game i just wish i were better at it xD may do another video on it when i get further. But again, loved it was VERY in depth the taxes took me by surprise =P Left a follow and keep up the amazing work!
Very glad you like the game and made even a video of it. Definitly motivates me for the updates to come!
