@retailmage to stay up to date on the latest!
You are a wizard who's just been hired to work as customer service in a magical furniture store! You (and up to three friends) have 30 minutes before the store closes to train up, navigate the maze of showrooms, and help customers coming in with all sorts of wants and desires.
Earn five star reviews and the praise of management--or insult those entitled jerks to get 1 star rants as you throw the store into chaos and flames--or anything in between. ๐งโโ๏ธ
You can sign up for playtests now at retail-mage.com. Excited to share more soon!
So, uh, weโre shipping a game *this year*, yโall
We can share the name of the game this Friday ๐
Any guesses before then? โจ
