"Japan is well-known for its vending machine culture, and this new management sim is putting you in charge of your own Japanese vending machine empire. You can choose which neighborhood to put your machines in, and what to stock them with, with different demographics of customers likely to purchase different stock. While Vending Machine Co. follows the classic management sim formula, its cute illustrative style and satisfying restocking gameplay is reminiscent of cozy indie hit Unpacking."
"Vending Machine Co. is due for a release at an unspecified date later this year, but has a free demo available now. The demo just got a handful of upgrades, including two new neighborhoods to explore and set up your vending machines in, as well as some standard bug fixes and balance updates. When the full release drops later this year, it will include a bunch more neighborhoods, including a salaryman-centric business district, a temple area frequented by tourists, and a youth-focused university ward."
The game places players in charge of a Japanese vending machine empire, letting them choose neighborhoods and stock to match local demographics. Restocking and management follow classic sim mechanics, complemented by a kawaii illustrative style and tactile minigames for repairs, upkeep, sorting, and counting cash. A free Steam demo is available now with new updates adding two neighborhoods, bug fixes, and balance tweaks. The full release, arriving later this year, will expand with more neighborhoods—such as a salaryman business district, a tourist temple area, and a university ward—additional items, minigames, collectibles, and encouragement to explore neighborhoods.
