Mini Shopkeeper, from solo developer David Moralejo Sánchez, is an idle shop management sim that runs directly from your taskbar. Players run a tiny medieval store, hire workers, automate tasks, decorate to attract different customers, haggle for prices, craft and upgrade items, and even recruit regulars as adventurers to bring back rare materials. The game is designed to tick along quietly in the background while you get on with other tasks, with city upgrades unlocking as your shop grows.
Visually cosy and friendly, the game promises a relaxed yet engaging experience that rewards both planning and casual play. Its clever design could make it one of 2026's standout indie titles, though the temptation to keep checking on your shop might prove distractingly fun. With its blend of idle mechanics, automation, and charming pixel art, Mini Shopkeeper looks poised to offer a fresh take on the idle game genre.
