Introduction This is an article written by Yanfly. By now, the Business RPG is an evergrowing genre. These are sometimes known as an Item Shop RPG or Restaurant RPG, but ultimately, their playstyles are the same. The player character runs an item shop or restaurant for half the day, then spends the other half of the day gathering resources or dungeon crawling. If this sounds familiar, it's because there's a lot of games like it already. These games include the likes of Recettear, Moonlighter, Mystia's Izakaya, Cuisineer, and Dave the Diver. While not all of them are RPG's in the traditional sense, I want to use these five for this article to provide examples with and show how they evolved and what we can learn from these games should we ever decide to make our own Business RPG.
