Publisher Beep Japan and developer Nagai Industries announced a release window for inKONBINI: One Store. Many Stories, their nostalgic slice-of-life simulation game set in a 1990s Japan convenience store.

inKONBINI: One Store. Many Stories is launching sometime in April 2026 for Windows PC and Mac (via Steam), Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PlayStation 5.

Here’s a rundown on the previously announced game, plus a new trailer:

inKONBINI: One Store. Many Stories is a slice-of-life narrative-driven simulation game centered around a small-town convenience store in the early 1990s. Shelve goods, engage in meaningful conversations with your customers, and explore the ways you can impact their lives with your decisions.

Discover joy and wonder hidden behind the daily routine of a konbini worker, engage in meaningful conversations with a diverse cast of characters, and see how their stories intertwine in a beautifully-rendered early 1990s.

inKONBINI: One Store. Many Stories is a meditative third-person single-player experience that puts you in the shoes of Makoto Hayakawa, a college student taking a break from her studies to help her aunt at the small and cozy convenience store.

Over the course of the game, you’re going to establish your own ways of managing the store and see how your day-to-day decisions affect the lives of your customers.

You will learn their buying habits and develop a unique approach to each one of them in order to make their experience at the store smooth and pleasant.
