I'm an arcade janitor and the thought of funneling my tiny paycheck back into the place I work seems stupid. Instead I play The Coin Game. And at work I think to myself "this is just like The Coin Game" and continue to not spend real money there.

It's nice because I can spend $100 trying to get a stuffed duck and not feel bad about it. Scratches the itch to play believable arcade games without actually wasting a ludicrous amount of money

How to describe the Coin Game? To call it an arcade simulator isn't wrong, but it misses out on everything else this game has to offer. It's more of a "adolescent kid on summer break on an island exclusively populated by robots (except for yourself and your pets)" simulator. There's no story, nor any required tasks. It's just you and the island doing whatever you want to do. You travel around by foot, bike, bus, after you've unlocked it, a golf cart, or in Birthday Mode, a limo, to do various activities to either make money or spend that money. The town of Islandville has 3 dedicated arcades, a shopping mall with its own arcade and movie theater, a traveling carnival with rides and games, and a waterpark. (There's even a pinball machine in the supermarket.) The variety of arcade games is staggering. If you can think of a type of arcade game, you can probably find it within at least one of the arcades. (There is a striking lack of pinball machines, though; the only one I've found is in the supermarket.) You win tickets and buy prizes to store in your home, where you live with your granny, pet goose, and tank full of fish. Your room even has a claw machine in it you can use to hone your skills for free. All this play and prizes do not come free, so how do you make money? If you're playing in Birthday Mode, just head to a cash grab booth in any arcade to start grabbing dollar bills as they're blown around you as many times as you want for free. In Survival, however, you start with a few bucks in your pocket and $10 in a savings account. To make money, you can deliver newspapers or pizza, babysit, mow the lawn, return shopping carts to the cart corral, or try your luck at lotto scratch-off cards. Then there's dumpster diving. You can usually find a usable item or two in the dumpsters around town, and any item in the game (including used scratch-off cards) can be taken to the pawnshop to be turned into cash. The game isn't perfect. It's kind of buggy at times; the controls are kind of janky (not the arcade games, which work great, but for character and vehicle movement), and for the love of God, allow the pause button to unpause the game as well. Also, the cars in the game make no effort to avoid you and collision is weird (it's handled by just clipping through you, sometimes dealing health damage, but if you're in the golf cart it can roll you or even launch you across the map if it hits you wrong). But it's an incredible achievement, especially for a one-person dev team, packed to the gills with features, and made with obvious love and care. It's definitely underpriced for how much value you get out of it, so pick it up now. :) PS: Although it's officially unsupported, it works just fine on my Steam Deck.

After only 6 hours playing the game today, the game has already paid for itself. Basically you travel around a giant tourist town playing fun arcade games and other classic attractions populated entirely by robots. I've nowhere near explored the whole map, but what I have seen is charming and entertaining, even on low graphics. Birthday mode is basically creative mode- infinite money, no hunger/curfew and golf cart unlocked at the start. Survival mode makes you work jobs to play games on top of managing hunger and not staying out too late, which I THOUGHT was going to be hard, but I just learned about delivering pizzas and I'll never deliver mail again. I have more to discover and the game is still updating albiet slowly, so all I'll say in conclusion is it's well worth the price tag.
