Tankabai! Showa Shopping St.

Sell, get laughs, mess up — and win them over with heart. A Showa-era Japanese comedy where your street-stall sales pitch is everything. You are Makoto Kazama, a smooth-talking but soft-hearted traveling peddler. When customers stop by your stall, choose one of three pitches — a tall tale, a quick wit, honesty, flattery, or a helping hand — and make the sale. - Read your customers A stubborn watchmaker, a champion haggler, a sharp-eyed kid, a by-the-book police officer... Everyone has pitches they love and pitches they hate. Guess right for a big hit; guess wrong for a big flop. What you learn goes into your Regulars' Book as a hint for next time. - Sales, Laughs, Heart and Trouble Every pitch moves four meters. Get carried away and Trouble grows until the whole street is in an uproar. Ride your momentum for profit, or put people first? The ending is up to your pitch. - A journey through 10 towns From Hiyori-cho Shopping Street to a mountain teahouse, a castle town, a temple town, a student quarter, a hot-spring town, a snowy morning market, a mining town, a harbor — and finally an island. Each town has its own colorful people and scenes. Visit them all for the grand finale. Stop anytime and pick up where you left off. - Stock up before opening Choose goods within your budget to plan your strategy. Each item helps with different pitches and customers. - Ties and momentum Your pitches create ties with townsfolk that pay off — or come back to bite you — later. String together good pitches to build momentum and boost your sales. - Plenty to collect - 5 daily endings and 5 journey endings in your ledger - Endings and titles that change with each town - Return to a town you detoured to and meet people who remember you - Nearly 100 conversation scenes Each day of business is 5 short acts — play in just a few minutes. Available in English and Japanese. This is an original work inspired by the culture of street-stall sales talk seen in classic Showa-era films.
