絶望ショッピング ZETSUBO SHOPPING

Game premise and setting

ZETSUBO SHOPPING is a PC game that places you in a stark, white room with no windows or doors. Your only means of interaction is a laptop displaying a shopping site called ZETSUBO.com. A mascot informs you that escape isn't possible for now, but you won’t leave empty-handed. The game revolves around shopping for survival; you can buy necessities like water and food, which prevent discomfort. You enter a contract lasting thirty days, but your monetary allowance decreases over time, impacting what you can buy later.

Shopping mechanics

You navigate through listings of both official products and items offered by private sellers. The inventory may include common goods like a sleep mask, a notebook, or even a child's blanket. However, there are also items that may seem out of place. You decide whether to purchase these goods, with the game emphasizing that you are not forced into any transactions.
