Follow Nicole as she tries to find her dream job.

Gameplay
Customers to your shop will give a list of the items they want. To serve them, you have to find the items scattered around the shop. Each customers will ask for 3-4 items and while you are serving one customer, the requests of the other customers are hidden. Sometimes you will get VIP customers and if you serve them quickly, you will get a bonus. After each level, you can play a mini game and upgrade Nicole. To upgrade Nicole, you can choose from four activities, each improving one aspect. The activity will require you to purchase 1-2 items with the money you have earned.

You start with a bare room which will get filled up with medals and items purchased

Thoughts
The game is pretty challenging. The items change places in each level and more and more items get added to the shop. I find that I have to be accurate in where I click, even a little bit off the mark is not acceptable. This can be difficult when the items are small or long and thin.

Before the start of each level, I am shown pictures of a few items so you can identify them by name. It's a good idea but I wonder at the usefulness because sometimes items from previous levels are shown and by then I already know their names. It would be more useful if it shows newly added items.

The mini games are quite fun and there is a variety of them so it doesn't get boring.

Verdict ★★★
