The Willowmist Emporium of Antiques & Curiosities

Beneath its quiet, sleepy exterior lies many a resident bound by secrets… will you be the one to uncover their stories?

In this cozy supernatural narrative shop simulator, you’ve been entrusted with running your aunt’s beloved antique store while she’s away for three months.

Step into the role of shopkeeper and take charge of The Willowmist Emporium of Antiques & Curiosities. Price unique items, haggle with customers, and manage your inventory to keep the business afloat. 

Build meaningful connections with the townsfolk, including 5 unique love interests and a host of side characters. As you help the residents of Willowmist uncover their truths and confront their secrets, you may just discover something of your own: a sense of belonging and a place to finally call home.

Story

Work your part-time job. Go home to your tiny apartment. Sleep. Rinse and repeat. That’s how life is supposed to be, right?

You’re Sage (renameable), 26 years old and stuck in a cycle that feels like it will never end. The city is suffocating, your job is uninspiring, and everyone around you seems to have their life together—except you.

A letter will change everything.

Your eccentric, estranged Aunt Sylvie writes to you from Willowmist, a sleepy, out-of-the-way town that barely shows up on a map, asking for a favor. She has to leave for a while—no explanation, of course—and she wants you to take care of her greatest treasure: her antique store.

As you settle into your new life, you’ll build relationships, sell antiques, and maybe even fall in love—all while discovering that this place, this store, and maybe even you… are far more extraordinary than you ever imagined.
