Lately, there's been a bit of a desktop idler wave engulfing the PC Gamer team. It all started with Ropuka's Idle Island, but after I'd put 20 hours into this little game, I started looking for a new idle game.
Luckily, I found my match while scouring through all the Steam Next Fest demos. Cozy Desktop Konbini does pretty much what it says on the tin—while you're working or getting on with other tasks, you can also manage a little convenience store on your desktop.
Within the first few minutes, I realised that this was going to be my forever idle game, mostly because I love management sims like TCG Card Shop Simulator.
At first, all you have is a lone checkout, which a tiny mouse manages for you, so you have to start filling your store with shelves and products as quickly as possible to start making some money.
To help give you a bit of a bump in cash, the game will give you a few missions to complete, like building a shelf or a refrigeration unit, placing some decorations, and buying a computer.
