lilithkismet rated CHESTO - At the Checkout

lilithkismet rated a CHESTO 5 years ago
A downloadable CHESTO for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Very simple checkout simulator with blocky voxel art and irritating physics. You need to scan items for customers and then put them in the basket, but things go flying and bounce around out, or you pick up things you don't intend to and accidentally cause something to drop on the floor, considerably slowing your pace down. When your shift is done, you learn how much you made and whether it breaks minimum wage. New customers to be harassed by and new foods to ring up unlock after various tasks/achievements are completed, but at least one of those unlocks doesn't work correctly - I've earned a bonus of 6, but the "Get a bonus of 6 or higher" reward hasn't unlocked. I do like the bland Muzak-like background music, which fits well with the tone and theme of endless drudgery. There's a slight meta aspect to the game where it communicates your activity to a Chesto website and you can see the company's "earnings" across all recent players. Cute idea, but that's about it.
