Retail Hell

Welcome to the only convenience store perched in the liminal void between life and death. Clock in as an overworked clerk whose dead‑end job binds your fate to a debt owed to faceless management. You must juggle supernatural customer service, collapsing inventory, and the strange whispers of the abyss while trying to unravel why you are trapped in this fluorescent-lit corner of the afterlife. This is a psychological horror job simulator where the mundane is your lifeline: keep the shelves stocked, coffee brewing, and hot dogs hot, because if the store goes under, your soul goes with it.

Core responsibilities

• Run the store: maintain cleanliness, restock merchandise, keep coffee brewing, and ensure customers leave with something they can justify as sane.
• Fulfill the unusual: satisfy requests from grotesque entities while avoiding reality-warping curses and unpredictable eldritch side effects.
• Respond quickly: fast service can earn a tip, but slow or wrong answers may invite consequences from patrons who aren’t entirely mortal.
• Survive each shift: manage scarce resources, decipher cryptic orders from the dead, and shield the shop from collapse while your debt grows.

The world and its threats

The customer is always right—even when the customer is dead. Expect odd requests that bend reality, whispers from beyond the shelves, and curses that twist time and space inside aisles. Your only leverage is precision, pace, and an ability to keep the store afloat long enough to outlast the night and the debt that haunts you.

Why you stay

Every shift tightens the noose around your past life. The debt to the faceless management is more than money—it’s a tether to this purgatorial retail purgatory. The routine of stocking, brewing, and serving becomes a ritual you must perform to delay the erasure of who you were. The longer you endure, the more you learn about the sins you committed in life and the price of your death.

Uncover Your Past

This isn’t simply a job—it’s a prison. Piece together the sins of your past life and the circumstances of your death to understand why you’re trapped in this fluorescent corner of the afterlife. The truth hides in the inventory lists, the customers, and the quiet moments between shifts. With multiple endings, you can piece together the mystery, break the cycle, and possibly escape—or remain forever branded as employee of the month in a cycle that never ends.

Endings

Retail Hell offers multiple endings tied to your choices: whether you unravel the past and escape the loop, or accept a perpetual job that defines your fate. Each path changes the meaning of your debt, your memories, and the meaning of staying alive in a store where the dead come to shop—and never leave.
