Whosa Arcade Simulator (Prototype)

Welcome to the v13W prototype of Whosa Arcade Simulator! 🕹️

A quick note from the dev: I am a solo indie developer building my dream arcade management game. Because I am working on this entirely alone, I don't have a testing team. I really rely on community feedback to make this game awesome. I would be incredibly grateful if you could spare a few minutes to play this build and tell me what you think!

🌍 Language Support: This prototype is fully playable in both English and Dutch!

What is Whosa Arcade Simulator? It's an arcade management game where you build and run your own arcade. Please note: this is a very early prototype. There are no final graphics (just basic shapes for now), animations, or sound design. The pure goal of this test is to see if the core gameplay loop works and feels fun.

What you can do in this build:

• Buy and place arcade machines.

• Help customers at the checkout.

• Empty cashboxes.

• Buy and manage drink inventory.

• Manage your arcade through the office computer.

• Track reputation, income, and daily results.

💡 CRUCIAL TIP BEFORE YOU START! When you click 'New Game', the in-game day starts immediately. Your very first action should be:

1. Walk to the office computer and press E.

2. Click Inventory -> Buy Drinks. (Note: Drinks are currently managed as a virtual inventory system, not physical items on a shelf). If you don't buy drinks right away, customers will get angry at the checkout, and you will lose reputation!

🎯 Your Mission as a Tester:

1. Play for at least 3 in-game days.

2. Take screenshots of your Daily Reports! (This screen pops up at the end of each day. It contains vital test data like missed sales, reputation changes, and day balances. Without these screenshots, it's very hard for me to balance the game).

3. Look out for: Is the HUD understandable? Does the checkout system make sense? Do customers behave correctly? Are there any bugs?

📝 Submit your Feedback here: After your 3-day run, please fill out this quick feedback form: 👉 https://forms.gle/vBuZ67vnHfsRMyU77 Please be brutally honest. Negative feedback is incredibly useful to me, as long as you explain what happened!

🛠️ How to install:

1. Download the .zip file.

2. Right-click the ZIP and choose Extract All (Do not run the game directly from inside the ZIP!).

3. Open the extracted folder and start Whosa Arcade Simulator.exe
