Recettear: An Item Shops' Tale

[Don]

Yes, I am serious.
A friend brought this game to my attention, and the Demo caught me so hard already, I have the need to share this with everyone.

What is it?
From the Steampage:

Recettear is the story of an item shop, the girl who lives in it, and the fairy who turned her life upside down. Recette Lemongrass finds herself in charge of an item shop built into her house, in order to pay back a loan her father took and then skipped out on - and Tear, her newfound fairy "companion", won't take no for an answer! As Recette, you have to decide how you'll get your stock - either through playing the markets in town or going out into the wild with an adventuring friend and thrashing beasts until they give up the goodies - how much to sell things for, what the shop should look like, and how to best go about getting the money Tear needs to pay off the loan. If you can't come up with the money... well, hope you like living in a cardboard box.

Key features:

    * Manage all aspects of an item shop – from stock to interior design!
    * Explore randomized dungeons – never quite the same twice!
    * Multiple adventurers to choose from when dungeon-diving – no two play the same!
    * Plenty to do after beating the game – challenge yourself with Survival Mode or play to your heart's delight in Endless Mode!
    * Engaging story, localized by Carpe Fulgur – get to know the people of Pensee!

Don't get scared away by the look of it, it's a brutal simulation - make the wrong choices in buying and selling and you end up living in a little cardbox.
Try out the demo on the store page and tell me what you think about it :3

It's awesome once you get used to it :d

Tips:

For selling to the little girls, Don't add more than 100 pix
For old people add around 200 pix
For the adventurers add around 300 pix

etc

Protip:
Don't sell your adventurers crap. If you sell them crap, they'll automatically use the crap, which means that, after all, they'll die faster in a dungeon, which means you won't get the items, which means you lose if you sell them crap. Give them good stuff for little money.
Also, food shops are good for the beginning, they give a lot of money easy and quick.
Then, if you want to get shittons of money in the dungeons, stay in one level and keep killing the same enemy. (for example only green blobs). If you keep killing them, you'll get a chain, more exp, and 2-5k item drops. Enemies respawn.
