theme of a shop that sells things you dont want

inconvenience store™

This theme makes me want the things I presumably don't want

List of items in the inconvenience store: Health Potion- Tells you how much Hp you have left(on screen anyways) Mana Potion- Tells you how much mana you have left(also on screen anyways) Double edged sword- Has high base damage, deals same percentage of damage to you as it does to the target Sparkly staff- Every spell casted hits a random target, enemy or ally. Multi target moves instead have the total damage it wouldve dealt condensed onto the one target. Stiff Bow- Has excellent scaling with Dexterity stat. Stiff material requires high Strength to use. Medicinal Herb- Heals for 50% of max Hp. Lowers all stats by 10% for 2 hours. The “Win” button- Wins the fight no matter the opponent. All other party members must be knocked out, and the member who uses this must be at an exact amount of Hp remaining that is randomly chosen and never specified. Pocket companion- a companion who can fit in your pocket! The small size makes them almost useless in combat, but hey, they make everyone smile regardless :) Pet rock- A rock with googly eyes carelessly glued to it. Can be used as a thrown item once. Shine stone- constantly emits a bright light. Is also incredibly hot, and isnt possible to carry safely.

"Thank you for shopping with Inconvenience Store, we hope you have a mid day."

It feels like the shopkeeper is a cat that pushes their own merchandise off the counter. I love it

I love the idea of an inconvenience store. In my head, I imagine that it’s the kind of store in a game that sells you items that are actually really good and powerful, but incredibly niche or require some kind of ridiculous prerequisite condition, making the items particularly useless in every situation except for the situation it was designed to be used in. I would imagine that the most expensive item would have the flavor text “kills the final boss when used” but the prerequisite condition is “the game must be closed”

This feels like a niche little shop in the middle of nowhere and you don’t really want anything inside but its inside is made with so much care and love that you decide to buy a little trinket anyway and the shopkeep says “thanks for buying something!” And for once you feel like it’s genuine, it’s the voice of someone just trying to make ends meet and is genuinely thankful that you bought something. And as you leave, you see that same shopkeep stocking the shelves with a small smile and you feel that, you made their day, just a bit better. Edit: congrats on 1 mil views azali!

The shopkeeper is a kitten and it doesn't know how to run a store, it sleeps on a bag of powdered sugar behind the counter most of the time. The store sells bottlecaps (used), interesting looking rocks, and leaves that the kitten decided are really fun to chase around, and thought you should try it out some time.

kinda give me the "its a rainy day in an unfamiliar town in a shop that the shopkeeper doesnt care about their customer and just keep reading the newspaper and you just ran into the shop for shelter" vibe

Feels more like a shop ran by a nice old grandma to me. She may not have a lot of stuff but she puts care into what she sells.

Game system that identifies the type of build you're going for, then removes every item that would benefit it from the random pool.

Real stores should have soundtracks like these to them

In my dnd session I had a shopkeeper who only sold things the party didn't want. "I've got pretty much everything," she would say. "What do you want?" But of course if the pcs mentioned something they wanted, she didn't have that particular thing. So they had to find creative ways to think of reasons they wouldn't want things. "Well then you can take this off my hands at least," the shopkeeper would say. I played this in the background. Great vibes

Aww. This theme makes me think of a small child running a shop. It would be a tiny stall outside of the main shop with a crooked "Shop" sign. Most of the stuff the child sells is useless, but the smile on that face everytime you buy something makes every gold piece spent worth it. This is a great song 8/10.

Pls Azali do not kidnap me I've already liked, subscribed and hitted that Bell 😭😭😭

Y'know the inkeeper's kid in Undertale? This sounds like it'd be their shop's theme, where they'd sell sticks and half eaten snacks for way higher than they should be. They're saving up to buy a toy they really want.

I really like how the music takes those slightly unexpected turns, like looking at an item in the shop and going "ooh shiny" only to realize that you cannot use it because you have the wrong class/build

"Over here is the loose fallow soil (price per pound), that shelf has the moldy fruit and the individually packaged crumbs, and de-bristled toothbrushes are on aisle 6."

Those arcade stores that sell miscellaneous objects
