Island Market Simulator is a premium simulation game for PC from Zentium Studio. It’s a management sim experience set on a peculiar island, wherein players will run and manage a shop catering to the unique needs of its inhabitants far and wide. It features both single-player and online co-op gameplay modes. 

Compared to games like Retro Rewind or TCG Card Shop Simulator, Island Market Simulator stands out with its unique fantasy themes and setting. It challenges players to start from scratch and turn their humble stall into a full-fledged economy that spreads throughout the entire island, adapting to its needs and trends. 

Island supermarket 

In Island Market Simulator, you are a humble purveyor of goods on an island with dreams of building a shopping empire, catering to the needs of a diverse group of inhabitants. To achieve your goal, you will have to start from scratch and grow as a business first. Build and design your store, organizing over 70 sellable products for display, and pricing them competitively to attract customers. 

Some goods, you’ll craft in your workshop, while others you’ll grow and cultivate through more than 40 crop types and diverse livestock. Be mindful of market trends and adapt quickly to ensure you stay ahead of the curve and capitalize on profits. If you’re playing solo, you can also train your apprentice to handle daily chores so you can focus on other aspects of the business. 

Other highlights include a four-season weather system with special events, mini-games to earn extra money, and mystic, sci-fi-esque phenomena to discover. Be wary of surprise thieves, and do side quests to improve your standing with the island’s various factions. The only thing to know beforehand is that the game is still in Early Access, so the experience is a work in progress. 

Quirky and a bit different 

Overall, Island Market Simulator is an interesting and varied experience set in a quirky fantasy world, and a good amount of content as you try to build your supermarket empire. From the various products you can sell to the many different activities you can engage in, there’s plenty to like about it. Hopefully, the full version will be completed soon. Give it a try now.
