Life in Jasskia: A Coffee Shop; A Political-Economic Shop Survival Simulation

Start with a small instant-coffee stand at a metro stop in a world that is slowly collapsing, where you’ll have troubles far bigger than “giving change.” And you’ll realize it quickly: in Jasskia, making coffee isn’t enough to survive. You have to read the agenda and make the right move at the right time.
A daily newspaper brings national and global news; those headlines shake the economy, reshape opportunities, and shift the balance of power across the country. Some days you profit. Some days you simply stay afloat.

✅ The agenda changes everything

Follow the developments through the daily newspaper:

• The value of JL (Jasskia Lida) can rise or fall, and prices may change instantly.
• The stock market swings; if you want to win, you must track the agenda.
• Certain conditions and opportunities across the country can take shape along with the news.

✅ Meet people, see the country for what it is

Meet over 70 NPCs. Help them, or talk about the agenda:

• Every NPC has their own routine. Your relationship directly affects how likely they are to shop at your place.
• Helping people boosts your reputation. The higher your reputation, the more doors open to larger shops.
• In conversations, you can position yourself as pro-government or opposition, and define your side.
• In Jasskia, you will sometimes witness unsettling truths.

✅ Tenders: big money, big risk

Keep an eye on municipal and governorate tenders. But in Jasskia, entering a tender often means aligning yourself with the tender owner. Being in the right place at the right time is everything.

✅ From stand to shop: grow and diversify

Save up, rent larger shops, and expand your menu:

• Buy new coffee machines and add new drinks; the bigger your menu, the more customers you attract.
• More space means better decoration and comfort; the comfort you offer directly affects customer count.
• Roast and grind your own beans to cut costs, and chase big profits through coffee tenders.
• Make your own desserts, add them to your menu, and aim for major gains through dessert tenders.

✅ Don’t miss payments

Rent, income tax, electricity/water bills, employee wages and insurance premiums. On top of that, surprise extra charges and Jasskia’s dark order. In Jasskia, delaying certain payments can be fatal for a shop.

The world is collapsing. The end is approaching.

It creeps closer day by day, and when it arrives, if you don’t have a fortune to pay, it will take either your life or your dignity.
