Issues and suggestions
I'm a big fan of this genre of games and I like the idea of this being both topdown and first person. I have some thoughts on it, however, and would not want to spend money on it in its current state.

1. The tasks can be a bit unclear. When I was supposed to find the utility cart in the city, I didn't know if I needed to unlock it first or not and I spent a full 10 minutes looking around the map in both first person and management views. I was about ready to just give up and quit playing altogether when I FINALLY found it hidden in the shadows by the police station? That didn't make any sense to me and the shadows are so dark it was nearly impossible to see. Then I hired a cashier and didn't know the register had to be closed for them to actually run it. One just said "keep shelves stocked" without saying for how long and if it meant fully stocked or what.

2. I'm not a fan of the energy aspect of this anyway, but the energy goes down SO quickly and then refills very slowly. If there is going to be an energy bar there needs to be a better way of refilling it than driving away and staying away for a while, then waiting to drive back before you can do anything else. Maybe make it to where eating or drinking from the purchased products can refill the energy?

3. Why is it so difficult to stop pushing the utility cart? It says right click to stop pushing but right clicking doesn't actually do anything. The only way I could actually get it to stop pushing the cart was to be moving while holding shift and spamming right click till I would eventually drop it.

4. There needs to be a better way of storing products like a way to put loose items into a box which could then be placed on the storage shelves. I just ended up with a bunch of loose individual items on the utility cart.

Overall I think this could end up being a great game, but it would need quite a bit of polishing before I would buy.

All great points and all things I'm currently working on. Thanks for trying it out.

I just played the demo and really like it! But yes, the energy goes down way too quickly. You can't do much things because you're low or empty energy: no more cashout is possible for example.
