Our game’s demo is out. And now I can say “our” - because I used to be just a fan of this game, but today - I'm part of the dev team!

I really liked the game when it was first announced and started following the project. I even posted about it on Reddit to support the team, which eventually led to me becoming friends with the developers. About half a year later, they brought me on as a community manager and a bit of a QA. I never thought this would happen!
I’d be really happy if you gave the demo a try, because I genuinely think this game is worth it.
Lenin Street Geek Shop is a story-driven simulator about a geek shopkeeper in the 2000s. Sell "Friendzone" gum, 3-in-1 coffee, and Max Ouch CDs, customize your shop, influence the lives of quirky customers, and make your mom's dream come true!
The demo features 4 in-game days, unique situations that are exclusive to the demo, and rewards that carry over to the full game. And the coolest part - a secret cartoon!
I personally contacted a bunch of artists for it until we found the right one who could bring all the crazy ideas and jokes we had for it xd. It was a lot of work, but I think it turned out awesome.
And yes, no AI was used.
The art style blends colorful pixel art with the PS1-era graphics of early-2000s games. All made by humans! For all the CDs, posters, and other artwork alone, we worked with around 10+ different artists.
I hope you'll enjoy the demo, have a great day!
