The Steam digital store has released a cozy space organization simulator called Night Stocker, developed by a team of two Ukrainian developers. Players are invited to bring order to a cluttered retro media store by arranging thousands of items on the shelves.
The main task in Night Stocker is to organize over 2,500 objects, including VHS tapes, books, and board games of various genres, as well as to clear the room of debris. The game space visually changes as the player completes cleaning individual sections.
In addition to direct sorting, the game implements a number of additional mechanics to create a relaxing atmosphere:
lighting customization (changing the color and brightness of the light);
in-game music player with tracks of various genres and a coffee break area;
caring for indoor plants, which brings additional in-game coins;
interaction with a cat named Monyo, who can be picked up;
a progression system via the gaming computer, where you can view statistics, buy themed decor (for Christmas or Halloween), and unlock 5 skill upgrades.
"Night Stocker was created by two people from Ukraine: mostly one developer, assisted by one other person," the project's authors noted in the release announcement.
After the game's release, the developers analyzed the first streams and audience feedback. Based on the feedback collected, the team has already announced the first post-release patch. In the upcoming update, they promise to increase the character's base movement speed, add volume control, reduce or completely disable camera shake while walking, and reduce the cost of in-game skills (in particular, improving sprint).
You can currently purchase Night Stocker on Steam for 120 UAH, including a 20% release discount.
