Stocking, pricing and keeping machines humming

You start with a few machines and a small list of goods, then pick where to set up first: the calm streets of Komorebi Homes or busy Otaku Alley. From there you buy ramen, drinks, gadgets and toys, load up your truck, and restock machines with a quick shift-click.

Each area wants something different, and daily trends change what sells. You set the prices yourself or let the game help, add heaters and coolers to your machines, and chase contracts and side activities for extra cash. It is a simple loop of stock, sell and upgrade that stays relaxed even as your little empire spreads.

A city of neighborhoods, charms and slow days

Growth means new streets with new customers. Office workers grab quick drinks, tourists hunt for fun items, and each spot rewards putting the right products in the right place.

Between restocks you can wander. You buy charms in the Temple Grounds for daily bonuses, add special upgrades in Yakuza Row, change your truck color and cover it in stickers, or go fishing at Harbor Market when business is quiet. Play for maximum profit or just enjoy the drive, the shelves full of colorful goods, and the quiet satisfaction of a machine that never stays empty long.

How does running the business work?

Where do you put your first machines?

Each area has different customer types with different needs, so where you place machines shapes what you should stock and how fast you earn.

What do you actually stock and sell?

Heaters, coolers and other machine upgrades keep more kinds of goods selling, and daily trends point you toward what is profitable right now.

What is there to do besides restocking?

Plenty. You take contracts, play minigames, buy charms in the Temple Grounds for daily bonuses, add special area upgrades, customize your truck with colors and stickers, and go fishing at Harbor Market for extra money on slow days.
