inKonbini Beginner’s Guide

This page is for your first few in-game days: what to prioritize, what to ignore, and how to avoid getting overwhelmed.

How to start

If you’re totally new, begin with the demo to learn the store flow and the pacing. Once you start a full run, keep your first goal simple: get comfortable with the daily routine and conversations.

Restocking basics

Check shelves often and restock before you feel “behind”. In inKonbini, consistency beats speed — do small, regular passes instead of one huge cleanup.

Talking to customers

Many of the game’s best moments come from regulars. If you’re unsure what to pick in dialogue, choose the option that matches Makoto’s tone in the scene — it usually keeps the conversation flowing and helps you learn a character’s story.
