Pet Shop Simulator is a simulation game that allows us to run our own pet store. The game was developed by the Polish studio Games Incubator, whose portfolio is dominated by productions of similar genre and theme, such as Animal Shelter and Pets Hotel.

Gameplay

In Pet Shop Simulator the action is viewed from a first-person perspective (FPP). During the game our primary task is to serve customers showing up in the shop. Our store is visited by people of various ages, financial capabilities, as well as needs and preferences regarding pets they want to adopt into their homes. Our task is to propose suitable animals based on the information obtained from them.

It doesn't end there, because we must take into account not only the customer's satisfaction, but also the well-being of the animal itself. Wanting to ensure their best start in life, we need to provide animals with a "starter kit" that includes properly selected food and a cage of appropriate size, as well as useful accessories (like a grooming brush) and toys.

Doing all the right things will allow us to earn cash. All the money we've collected can be used to expand the store's assortment (and to import special goods to meet customer requests), to expand the store itself (we can freely build walls and furnish and decorate individual rooms), or to buy additional properties.
