[Chilla's Art] The Convenience Store | 夜勤事件 Reviews

i liked the jumpscares and the story was good

I predicted the manager would die in the game lmao

One of Chilla's Art's best games - and a fan favorite for very good reason! I love & miss this aesthetic Chilla's Art used to have for their games, although I still really enjoy their newer games as well. A few random thoughts about The Convenience Store: I like that you can explore the town/surrounding environment besides the store, the characters look so uncanny and the graphics really add to the creepy setting, working at that convenience store was unnerving but kinda fun and strangely cozy at times, and I can't believe the protagonist didn't quite that job sooner lol

Short & Sweet horror game in an interesting setting.

Get a customer service job, they said. If only the worst thing to happen in such a job was someone being in a hurry... A neat and not overlong experience with few scares. Get to work!

Amazing atmosphere and beautiful retro graphics. Really short game that's perfect for those nights where you wanna sit down and get lil spooked out. Played it with a friend and we had so much fun! Definitely gonna try out some other games from Chilla's Art's brothers!

I came looking for an immersive, eerie experience with a heavy atmosphere, and that is just what I found. Even though the turn the story took is not what I expected, I liked it and enjoyed the game very much. Given its short duration and the low price, it's definitely worth a try!

It's atmospheric and creepy, with a very unsettling nightly walk. I wouldn't mind it being a bit longer with a more fleshed out story throughout the gameplay but these are typically pretty short games so I wouldn't expect much there, just enjoy the creeping feeling the game gives you. Definitely worth it, I especially given the price. Headphones are a must!

Honestly, I could have spent the whole game making coffee and selling stale pastries. The initial interaction with the creep could have been a better jump scare, the dialogue between characters was a little sill but entertaining and some high tension areas. I recommend checking this one out for sure.

The Convenience Store is a short but incredibly atmospheric Japanese horror game that proves you don’t need jump scares every few seconds to create real tension. Set during a series of eerie night shifts at a local convenience store, the game slowly builds a sense of unease through realistic environments, subtle storytelling, and a creeping, supernatural presence that escalates as each shift passes. The game’s strengths lie in its simplicity and immersive details. The store feels authentic — from stocking shelves to checking security cameras — and the mundane routine makes the horror elements hit even harder when they begin to unravel reality. The pacing is excellent, with small changes each night adding to the suspense. The visual style, inspired by retro PS1-era graphics, adds to the nostalgic yet unsettling tone, while the sound design — flickering lights, distant footsteps, and silence — plays a huge role in the tension.
