Gameplay

The Conveni is a simulation game played from a top-down perspective, where the player takes on the role of a store manager overseeing a convenience store, stocking various items to increase customer footfall, managing the store's accounts, and hiring or firing employees. Once the first location is successful enough, the player can start opening and managing more stores. The game's main objective is to attempting to expand the store's presence through business franchising until the player runs the entire retail empire.
