Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale gameplay.

This a very fun game with cute characters and light hearted comedy, but is surprisingly deep due to its story. Recette is the main heroine you control who is out to squeeze the very last cent out of the customers.

This is due to the amount of debt piled up by her deadbeat father. You also have a loan shark who is actually a fairy, and it follows you around everywhere. You spend time stocking up on goods which you will sell at your own shop. You get to change the prices of the goods you’ll be selling as well as customize your shop. It’s a fun game which doesn’t take itself too seriously. It has a unique charm and is wonderfully captivating.
