Description
About This Game
Welcome to Willowmist, a charming, sleepy town nestled in the mountains—a place where people who don’t quite fit in finally belong. Beneath its quiet, sleepy exterior lies many a resident bound by secrets... will you be the one to uncover their stories?
In this cozy supernatural narrative shop simulator, you’ve been entrusted with running your aunt’s beloved antique store while she’s mysteriously away for three months.
Step into the role of shopkeeper and take charge of The Willowmist Emporium of Antiques & Curiosities. Price unique items, haggle with customers, and manage your inventory to keep the business afloat.
Build meaningful connections with the townsfolk, including 5 unique love interests and a host of side characters. As you help the residents of Willowmist uncover their truths and confront their secrets, you may just discover something of your own: a sense of belonging and a place to finally call home.
Work your part-time job. Go home to your tiny apartment. Sleep. Rinse and repeat. That's how life is supposed to be, right?
You're Sage (renameable), 26 years old and stuck in a cycle that feels like it will never end. The city is suffocating, your job is uninspiring, and everyone around you seems to have their life together—except you.
A letter will change everything.
Your eccentric, estranged Aunt Sylvie writes to you from Willowmist, a sleepy, out-of-the-way town that barely shows up on a map, asking for a favor. She has to leave for a while—no explanation, of course—and she wants you to take care of her greatest treasure: her antique store.
As you settle into your new life, you’ll build relationships, sell antiques, and maybe even fall in love—all while discovering that this place, this store, and maybe even you… are far more extraordinary than you ever imagined.
Create Your Character: Choose between two character bases for Sage (renameable) and select their pronouns.
Buy, Sell, Haggle: Keep the store stocked with unique antiques and decide how to price them. Learn the market, upgrade stock, and try to avoid fakes.
Upgrade Your Shop: Level up your store to gain more skills and attract more customers! A skill-tree allows improving everything—from scaring away the competition at auctions to improving your haggling skills.
Dice Rolls and Stats: Decisions and actions aren’t always straightforward—your success depends on your stats and a touch of luck.
Eventful Days: Every day brings new opportunities, events, and unexpected challenges, from cleaning mishaps to unusual customers. Plan out your day—run the store, clean, upgrade antiques, run errands, attend auctions and much more!
Discover the Mysteries of Willowmist: Everyone in this town has secrets—that's why they come to Willowmist! Get to know the locals through chains of events that unlock as you play the game. Every playthrough is different!
