Creative Logics has announced that pre-orders are now open for its upcoming idle tycoon game Mega Store. Players will be able to open their own mini-store, decide if they want to specialize the store, and eventually transform it into a Mega Store.

While a lot of tycoon idle games introduce their mechanics and then set gamers off on an open-ended romp, Mega Store features an actual fleshed-out story to discover as the store expands. There are a variety of avenues to build the shop toward, with specializations such as clothing, grocery, electronics and jewellery all being available.

From the ground up, everything about running a store is in the players' hands. Maximizing profit is the main objective, and to do this the right staff will need to be hired, the store will have to be organised optimally to allow customers to easily flow, and cleanliness will be important to keep patrons happy. Who wants to shop in a dirty store? Decorations can even be put up to make the rather drab experience of shopping a bit more exciting.

It is not just the walls that can be customised, as the player character is also able to change looks. There is even special character customization for people with disabilities, which is a fairly minor addition but very nice to see inclusion being added. And for that extra dose of companionship, pets can be adopted to help draw in customers.

Mega Store even allows everyone to play with their friends, however never forget that running a store is a cutthroat business, so players will be able to attack each other's stores. It is a rather amusing idea to actively attack a shop and will be interesting to see how the system works in practice.

Mega Store is available to pre-order now on the App Store and Google Play, with a release date of November 23rd.
