Retail Mage

Retail Mage is a party game set in MageMart, where you work a shift in a magical store that closes in 30 minutes. Help customers to earn 5-star reviews and praise from management, or insult them and cause chaos to earn 1-star rants. You can play with up to three other retail mages, working together or getting in each other’s way as you explore the store’s secrets.

Make your character

Customize your Retail Mage’s appearance and flair, and choose their strengths and special skills. Your answers to three short interview questions create a personalized character backstory.

Talk and interact

You can speak using voice-to-text, then choose from dialog options generated on the spot to reflect your intent. The store’s objects invite creative interactions: you might tear a page from a book, search a haystack for a needle or draw a giraffe on a priceless painting. The game determines whether an action succeeds; outlandish attempts can result in demoralization, injury or spontaneous combustion.

Customers and secrets

During your shift, you can meet a friendly crow plushie who offers sage advice and befriend an absent-minded mannequin with hidden talents. The store also holds hidden lore and mysteries to discover. Players can set their own goals and try different ways to approach the shift, including turning MageMart into an Iron Chef cookoff or a dating sim.
