Latest Steam announcements

  • NEVERMIND NEW BUILD - 19 February 2026

    We have reverted back to and old build while we look into the issues we are having with the EXE in the new one

  • Repatch - 19 February 2026

    We re uploaded our fixed build with the new EXE

  • Game Revert - 19 February 2026

    Issue with new build causing launch issues so we have reverted changes

  • Exe Fix - 19 February 2026

    Issue with EXE launch is now fixed

  • Optimization Patch - Retail Therapy V1.2.2 - 19 February 2026

    We saw that loading HUD and swapping weapons during game-play was spiking resource usage so we have looked into how to resolve this issue so that those on lower end hardware were able to have a smoother gaming experience when playing. We have switched the data gathering mode in engine from "Lazy" to "Instant" so what does this mean? What this does is it will increase loading times ONLY A LITTLE, game is tiny after all, however this will reduce spikes in resource usage during game-play so this in turn should lead to a smoother experience. HAVE FUN!

  • Retail Therapy Patch 1.2.1 - 20 December 2025

    So for the past few weeks we have been working on a few different fixes and optimization even further for the game so our players on lower end GPUs are able to run the game alittle more smooooothly. We also realised WE HAD NO PLAT ACHIEVEMENT so we definitely needed to fix that. Bug Fixes: AI Pathing has been improved Enemies now throw a tantrum if they cannot get to the player (free kill woooooo) Achievements are all now functional Additions: Plat achievement for getting all other achievements has been added BIG changes: We have switched Retail therapy from running on Vulkan to DX11 to avoid a low level fatal error that was affecting some of our players games. This should help stability on those older cards but please let us know in our discord if you are still having problems :) HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY!!!!

  • Retail Therapy Patch Version 1.1.1 - 7 December 2025

    With the new map being introduced we found the AI was getting stuck on certain elements within the map. We are still currently monitoring this and making changes as we update the maps ESPECIALLY with any new vertical elements being added in! AI Changes: AI path calculations have been altered on where they are able to stand on ledges General Fixes: Collision Boxes on ATM actors have been fixed Map wipe buttons have now been fixed to be on a one minute timer, we have no idea why they didn't do this in the first place BUT OH WELL ITS SORTED NOW :D

  • Retail Therapy Update V1.1.0 - Map Redesigns - 22 November 2025

    Over the last few weeks we have been monitoring the playtime of the different maps along with taking notes on player feedback as they were playing the game via streaming, we found the festival was without a doubt the most played map, the other maps rarely were played. We also found the supermarket was not having the correct impression on our players as the default map so this needed to be changed, we went back and designed the map from the ground up with the ethos of having a supermarket themed map rather than a map that is a supermarket! As for the patch notes for those of you who don't wanna read the reasons here you go! Map Changes: All maps now have a map wipe!! Supermarket now has an Acid rain and the restaurant has a Kitchen fire. Not really the most safe environments.... Trampolines have been added into the supermarket Restaurant now has a significantly reduced amount of clutter…

  • Map Rework - 16 November 2025

    We're currently in the middle of remodelling the Supermarket map.We remodelled it so much, we kinda broke the old map! Keep an eye out for the new update droppingCheck out how we broke the map here!

  • Retail Therapy Patch V 1.0.6 - 14 November 2025

    Bus gun!!!! The bus gun was under performing so we have made a few tweaks to create a more viable option Busses now reach full size 0.1 seconds after firing Bus gun now weighs less (for a bus you're lucky) so you can move alittle faster.. but not much... ITS A BUS!!!

  • Retail Therapy Patch V 1.0.5 - 14 November 2025

    We have been listening to feedback over the past few days and we have made some changes in line with what we had received, things in this patch include some weapon changes, map changes, enemy improvements and bug fixes. Map Changes: The supermarket ATM stack there was a section where the AI would no longer track the player and there was a funnel on one side. Funnel area in checkout now has object to stop player being a turtle, if you have time to lean you got time to clean so do not stop moving! ATM bounding box collision changed to block all, STOP HIDING WIMP Pee Tsunami on festival timer increased to 60 from 50 - Honestly why are you all so into it?? Weapon Changes: Our Melee weapons were not performing as intended within game play and they were not unique enough so we have made some balance changes along with the Phallus 9000 didn't feel enough like it was good late game so we gave i…

  • Retail Therapy Roadmap - 12 November 2025

    Retail Therapy Update AnnouncementHey everyone,We’re excited to share some updates on what’s coming next for Retail Therapy! Your feedback has been incredibly helpful, and we want to keep you in the loop about what’s in development.Map Balance UpdatesWe’ve noticed that Festival has been played far more than our other maps. To help even things out and keep gameplay fresh, we’re working on map balance adjustments aimed at making every location just as enjoyable and rewarding. These changes aren’t live yet, but we’ll share more details once they’re ready for testing.AFD LeaderboardMany of you have asked for more ways to compete and show off your skills. We’re currently developing a leaderboard for AFD shifts, where players will be able to compete for the highest scores once it’s released. Stay tuned for more information as we get closer to launch.THIS IS WAY HARDER THAN WE EXPECTED BY THE…

  • Retail Therapy Patch V1.0.4 - 9 November 2025

    We have had feedback on a few things within the game, especially from those who are early on in the game that the drop rates of the different weapons seem to not be working as intended as we had some weapons ammo are dropping when you do not own it, this was originally down to design however after receiving this feedback we have altered this function in line more with player expectations. We also know about a few map issues that were particularly not working with the AI behavior and this has now been rectified across all maps. Current Updates are as follows: Ammo Drops now only drop from enemies if you own that specific weapon Map Changes: Pee Tsunami cooldown increased from 20 seconds to 50 Map geometry edited to allow smoother AI path finding.

  • Update V1.0.3 - Achievements - 7 November 2025

    Achievements for Retail Therapy are now live! Your achievements while playing the game no longer just appear as posters on the wall within the HUB area, they are now on display for all to see!!! One of them you probably don't want people to see. Other Changes: Pee Tsunami now has audio cue for when it is no longer on cooldown Pee Tsunami now has audio cue for when it IS activated as we understand now that most people will use it while facing away from the wave.

  • Launch Fix - 5 November 2025

    Launch option fixed

  • Splash Screen Fix - Retail Therapy V1.0.2 - 5 November 2025

    Intro Scene was not correctly displaying. File path has been now changed to package properly with build

  • Enemy and Map Improvements - 5 November 2025

    As the game just released we had some other minor issues we had missed being a few issues with some of the maps with enemies getting stuck as well as the flying enemies were rather frustrating to deal with as they were able to just sneak up behind you a lot of the time so here are the edits. Restaurant Map: Some tables removed entirely to provide space for players to move more freely Wooden side table on stairs moved slightly to stop enemies getting caught Supermarket Map: Blocking volumes added to a few shelves, ATM's and Payment isle Roof beam angles reduced to stop affecting nav-mesh allowing for enemies to follow the player better Extra route added on shelves to stop enemies being congested and getting stuck Trolley has been moved in the isle to allow a more linear isle Enemy Changes: Damage lowered slightly on bombs due to sometimes stacking causing a lot of damage Flying enemies n…

Short description

Clock in. Freak out. Fight back. You’re stuck in the world’s worst shift - facing down entitled customers, absurd demands, and a mountain of workplace rage. Survive escalating chaos across restaurants, shops, and festivals, using whatever tools you can grab to keep the madness at bay.

About this game

Welcome to Retail Therapy—Where the Customer Is Always WRONG! What is it about? Retail therapy is a Fast paced Rogue-Lite Arena Shooter where you play as the worlds more dangerously armed and disgruntled employee on the planet. Your goal is to go to work, earn your wage and spend that on trying to last longer and longer in the endless mode. How it plays In this game you will be tasked to fend off hordes of angry customers in arena style based levels where you will choose your setting from the PC in your room, here you will also be able to choose what length of level you want to do ranging from 3 Minutes, 10 minutes or everyone's favorite shift... the all dreaded AFD!! All while earning minimum wage! Do not worry though, Customers will sometimes drop tip jars for your hard work that you can pick up so you can speed up the upgrade process! Difficulty slowly increases overtimes so sometimes you absolutely will need to bring out the big guns. Upgrades + Progression Purchase new weapons to add to your armory, we have shotguns, katanas.... and fish? Yep we have an exploding fish and then do it all again JUST LIKE REAL HOSPITALITY :D Each weapon however does cost more depending on what it is, if you want the firepower then you gotta work for it! Abilities!! For the real workers here you can also purchase weapon abilities with those hard earned peanuts, whether you want to fire ragdoll managers in bulk or if you want to use a disco ball that shoots lasers or even our personal favorite, get Stabby crabby to help! Only 8 of the weapons have abilities though as 2 of them REALLY do not need the extra firepower. Ammo Upgrades!!!! During the game you may find those ammo reserves can be a little bit shallow, so you have the option to use some of that sweet sweet income to buy even BIGGER POCKETS so that you can be assured you can give all of your customers the exact same treatment. Map Gimmicks!!!!! Each arena plays completely differently, the Supermarket have long linear sightlines for you to bob and weave in and out of the shelves or even on top of them! The festival offers a wide open space for you to run around and avoid the swarm, there is also a big red but…

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 21, 2026 to Sep 21, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $6.99
  • Highest observed: $6.99

Retail Therapy's USD price history spans from Sep 21, 2026 to Sep 21, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $6.99, the highest is $6.99, and the first visible tracked price is $6.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Retail Therapy's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $6.99, from Sep 21, 2026 through Sep 21, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $6.99. The latest run records $6.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $6.99
  • Current list price: $6.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Retail Therapy at $6.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
