The post Convenience-store narrative ‘inKONBINI’ releases physically appeared first on Indie Games Plus.
inKONBINI, a game all about running a little Japanese corner store, can now be purchased in physical form. In it you get to know locals while enjoying the stories of the others within the neighborhood. There are lots of different, interesting conversations and branching choices throughout, as well as plenty of stock to place into the shelves!
We previously previewed inKONBINI:
“Nothing feels rushed in inKONBINI: One Store. Many Stories. Instead, it feels deliberate and like taking on the role of working in a small town in a known shop. I do like finding the little post-it notes with side quests on them as well, giving you something to do to pass the time.”
inKONBINI has now released fully as a physical edition in Japan and Asia, with a U.S. and European edition launching in September. This release is for Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 5, and if you buy it on the Beep Store during the first week you can also get a promotional exclusive Yojoki Masters Trading Card Set.
The physical edition has two different types, one being a standard which includes the base game, a Honki Ponki sticker set, and two DLC codes, one for the exclusive Makoto costume and one for Yojoki Master Digital Manga. The limited edition of inKONBINI includes everything in the standard edition along with a welcome letter for the Store Manager, a Honki Ponki ID Lanyard and Makoto’s Employee ID, a notebook, a memo pad in the form of stick notes, a shift schedule stamp card, another sticker sheet, a physical soundtrack in the form of a cassette tape, the Yojoki Masters Manga and Gacha Toy, and a collectors box.
inKONBINI is such a fun little game and this physical edition, especially the limited one, is perfect for collectors with so many little add-ons!
