so this is some game that was released in Japan in 2007, and some fans got permission to do an official translation of it and sell it in 'murrca, and it even got accepted by steam
http://www.carpefulgur.com/recettear/about.htm
it's a mixture of tycoon and dungeon crawl. you manage an item store, haggling prices, making the store look cool, and getting frustrated with annoying lolis who refuse to pay 110% of base price for bread
the most noteworthy thing about the game is the translation is really well done. it was done by a couple SA goons who are apparently very well-versed in moon runes and english alike, and it's so entertaining that it makes the weeaboo aspect of the game completely bearable.
oh, and the dungeon crawling is really good! anyways, the game is 20 bucks, but currently 10% off for peorder. there's a 1 to 5 hour (depending on how long it takes you) demo available: http://www.carpefulgur.com/recettear/demo.htm
the game goes gold in like 8 days

I've been following this since Blondrobin stopped his atlier LP to do this. It really is a fun game, and these two guys deserve the success they've been getting the last few days (Not knowing if they'd make enough to live on to becoming one of steam's top sellers, if only for a few days). The translation job is really good, and the only thing I had a problem with before was changed.

Good game.

I just noticed this game on the Steam specials last night and took a look at the demo. I'm considering buying it, though my only concern is that the demo immediately crashes when attempting to use fullscreen mode.

i think that's the subconscious reason that motivated me to make this post
