What the game is
Soviet Shop Simulator is a grocery-store business sim released September 4, 2026 on Steam at $8.99, from developer Purple Color Games.
You build and run your own business from scratch in a challenging era: order products, decorate, serve customers and grow your reputation.
Over 120 stylized products span vegetables, fruit, meat, dairy, beverages, canned goods, spices, preserves, alcohol, sweets and cleaning supplies, unlocked through 21 licenses (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-09-06).
How it plays
Use the store computer to order products and shelves, purchase licenses, take loans and hire employees; stock deliveries arrive by truck behind the store.
You set every price — and soaring inflation raises wholesale costs, so pricing too high chases customers away while pricing too low eats your margins.
Serve customers by scanning products and giving correct change quickly; long queues hurt your reputation, and thieves show up more as you grow (a local fixer can help with them).
Events and release details
Special events look challenging but can pay off — floods or power plant failures, handled well, bring significant profit, and a lottery offers a grand prize when cash runs short.
Opening hours are yours to decide — you can work day and night.
Soviet Shop Simulator costs $8.99 on Steam and is listed under Simulation.
