Unnatural Shopkeeper

Unnatural Shopkeeper is a 2D endless simulation management game where you run a hidden store as the most suspicious shopkeeper in the city. In the day, search the streets for strange items to sell on your store, while avoiding suspicion. In the night, you go to an alley, set up your store, and sell.

Many actions can cause suspicion, like searching through trash bins or baskets, running, selling items too cheap, etc. Doing these when a police car is near will double the suspicions raised. If suspicion is too high, you lose. Avoid suspicions by making little noise, hiding in boxes, walking slowly and strategizing what to sell and how much to sell.

Use the money you earn to buy new expensive items from the store in the other alley to sell and to upgrade your store (more item slots, safer store, etc.) during the day.

Made for GMTK Game Jam 2025, under the theme "Loop".
