<p>What players can benefit from this game are new things that can be experienced.  The core route is selling more products, so that then you can gain shops, battle with boss, accomplish quest to get awards, buy decoration etc.  But product sale need time.  That become the main economic system of game.  You need to put constant interval time into game, or buy clock to decrease time, and you may need buy some tools to beat boss.  Players need to arrange time and resource to gain more benefit that also need their endeavors.</p>
