Supermarket Simulator is a management game in which you run an expanding supermarket chain. You start with a single store and grow by building new departments, hiring staff, and managing inventory to meet customer demand while keeping costs low. The player can also choose from various expansion packs that unlock additional content such as a bakery, pharmacy, toy department, and more. The game is monetized through in-app purchases for expansions and cosmetic items.
The game frames its content around business management and customer service within a retail setting, presenting no moral or ethical dilemmas; it does not depict any violence, sexual content, or substances. However, the real-world issue addressed is consumerism and monetization practices, with players noting that many of the expansions are priced as paid DLC rather than included in the base game.
