## What is Retro Alley?

Wander through a nostalgic Japanese shopping alley and search the crowded shelves for the items on your list. Retro Alley is a cozy hidden object game with no time limits, no stamina, and no pressure — just you, eight charming little shops, and shelves full of lovingly drawn knick-knacks.

WHO IT'S FOR
- You want to play at your own pace, without timers or stamina bars rushing you
- You're tired of hidden object games buried under aggressive ads
- You want something quiet to sink into before bed or during your commute

FEATURES
- No time limits, no stamina, no fail states. Search for as long as you like
- Eight retro shops to explore — a candy shop, a greengrocer, a hardware store, a bathhouse, a night festival, and more — with 96 stages in all
- A new "Daily Special" puzzle every day
- A shop cat is hiding somewhere in every shop. Can you spot them all?
- Fully offline. Play in airplane mode, anywhere
- Ads kept light: no full-screen ads while you are searching. Watching a video for extra hints is always your choice, never a requirement
- Forgiving tap detection and pinch-to-zoom make even the tiniest items easy to find

Every item in the game is original hand-drawn artwork inspired by everyday Japanese goods of the Showa era — ramune bottles, kokeshi dolls, paper lanterns, wind chimes, spinning tops, and more. Each shop has its own atmosphere, from the sweet haze of the candy store to the lantern-lit night festival.

There is nothing to buy and nothing to unlock with money: every stage can be reached simply by playing.
