A Supermarket Sim with a Twist … And Secrets to Uncover.
In Discounty, you’re not just managing aisles, you’re building connections with the quirky locals and unearthing the town’s long-held secrets. From designing your store layout to meeting colorful customers and exploring the seaside town, your journey to becoming Blomkest’s ultimate shopkeeper unfolds chapter by chapter. But be warned: your pursuit of infinite growth might ruffle a few feathers.
“Discounty lets you live the fantasy of building up a big business from nothing in a small country town,” said Ian Stewart, communications director at Crinkle Cut Games. “But growth often has consequences – not everyone in Blomkest is thrilled about your store's ever-growing footprint.”

"With Discounty, we wanted to make an unapologetic shopkeeping sim, finding the fun in the most everyday tasks,” added Anne Elsberg, writer & co-founder of Crinkle Cut Games. “And by adding a dash of satire, we hope to bring a little edge to the 'cozy' genre."
