Conveni Dream on the 3DS is a simulation management game where the player handles a convenience store. I've played plenty of similar games, mostly by Kairosoft, so I was excited to try this one. The game gives you a small store at the start. The player gets to hire 3 people to handle the cashier, cleaning, and stocking. On the side of merchandises, there are plenty to sell, targeting different demographics. At the start, wisely choosing stock to maximize sales was fun.
The game opens up to the player as they progress. The store can be expanded, have more shelves, refrigerators, displays, events, and more clerks. While all that is going on, the game has quests! Among these, some are related to the length of your playthrough, the number of items you sell, and the amount of money you have. The game also has disruptive customers, those who are complaining and those who are drunk.
The gameplay loop of Conveni Dream is simple. You put items for sale, customers buy them, and you profit. You use the money to expand the store and its merchandise selection, you attract more customers, and more profit comes in. This simple gameplay is also the game's fault. The game fails to keep you involved after you acquire good staff and a steady profit, leaving you a quasi-idle game. Still, the game's fun enough to play on a rainy afternoon.
