I really miss games about trading, so this idea really caught my attention. The style is also nice, even though it’s AI. The only thing is, I feel like the 3D map style really stands out from the overall picture, purely visually. Overall, it’s very pleasant. The combat mechanics are to my liking, and the gameplay is too.

Day 1 taught me the lesson in the books screen: 7 check-ins at $70 and a night profit of exactly $0, with the note that even a full house at that price cannot beat the $630 in bills. Loved that the game tells you the math instead of hiding it. I raised the rate to $80, bought the vending machine, and on Day 2 a pipe burst above Room 4. I chose Fix it yourself, the tape gave up, Rooms 4 and 5 became aquariums, and the Gazette ran "DIY plumbing attempt creates two aquariums, zero fish". That line alone sold me. The bar showing what share of drivers will pay your rate is a really clear lever. Lovely pixel art and neon.

Love the vibe of this one! The neon VACANCY title and the pixel-art desert motel at sunset look fantastic, and watching cars pull into the lot and guests walk up to their rooms is really charming. The nightly rate slider showing what percent of drivers will pay is a smart, readable pricing system, and the staff, boarded-up rooms to renovate and weekly goals give a clear sense of where to grow next. Great presentation and a fun premise. Nice work!
