The Convenience Store is a narrative game that exposes the hidden cost of convenience by translating manipulative Indian quick-commerce platform interactions into a physical supermarket.

Removing the digital interface of these platforms, it reveals the design tactics that often go unnoticed online, inviting players to reflect on how convenience shapes their decisions and normalises compromises around their ideals of dignity. Rather than relying on awareness through information, the project uses play as an intervention, making these everyday trade-offs tangible and difficult to ignore.
