Our take on Shop Simulator: Waifu Pillows
The defining structure is a retail loop built around dakimakura: order designs, place them on shelves, set prices, serve local customers, and reinvest sales into a larger, more decorated shop.
What is Shop Simulator: Waifu Pillows?
Run a shop selling dakimakura body pillows in a Japanese suburb.
Order new designs through a computer, place them on shelves, and set their prices for visiting customers. Revenue can fund additional stock, shop expansion, decorations, and employee hires. The store supports online click-and-collect orders, while a license system opens access to more pillows and decorations. Online co-op allows up to 3 friends to manage the business together. Community-created designs can be added through Steam Workshop. The shop can hold more than 65 pillow designs across 8 shelf types, with over 50 decoration items and floor space that can grow to more than four times its starting size.
