Shopkeeping sims are so in right now, but most are missing a certain sense of adventure, not to mention adorable slimes. Dungeon Bodega Simulator takes care of that, putting you in the shoes of an adventurer recently laid off by Mega Questing Co. (with a generous severance package of three days’ pay), now running a shop at the mouth of a dungeon to get by. In the demo version, you can grow crops and feed potion-producing slimes to keep your store stocked, while the full version promises more potion crafting and quests.

The simulations of gardening and shopkeeping are compelling in Dungeon Bodega Simulator, but it’s the game’s lo-fi art style, sense of humor, and pervading weirdness (like a low-poly cat with an unnecessarily detailed face locked in a prison cell) that make it stand out.
