Retail Hell
Sweeping the floors and scanning barcodes hits differently when 260 players log between 2 and 10 hours straight without blinking. Backed by a stellar 95 percent positive rating across 402 post-release reviews, this satirical shift manages to turn checkout terror into pure entertainment.
What it's about: Coincé dans un service infini, vous êtes le seul vendeur de l'unique épicerie du purgatoire. Gérez votre inventaire, payez vos impôts et repoussez d'horribles créatures tout en cherchant à découvrir pourquoi votre service est éternel. Pointez. Occupez-vous des morts. Survivez à votre service.
