The cozy game community has a new contender, and it’s quickly gaining attention. Discounty, developed by Crinkle Cut Games, is a charming pixel-art simulation title that feels like Stardew Valley — only this time, you’re running your own JojaMart-style discount supermarket instead of a farm.
🛒 A Cozy Twist on the Simulation Formula
While Stardew Valley popularized farming sims and small-town life, Discounty flips the script by focusing on store management. Set in the fictional town of Blomkest, the story begins with the player inheriting a small market from their aunt. From there, you’ll renovate, stock shelves, and turn the modest shop into a thriving supermarket empire.
But it’s not just about making money. Just like in Stardew Valley, relationships matter. You’ll interact with townsfolk, build connections, and even discover hidden mysteries throughout Blomkest’s alleys. These relationships can influence your business, leading to bigger profits or unexpected setbacks.
