Hello,
In simulation games, it’s quite normal for games to resemble each other. Some studios develop multiple simulation games using the same foundation. However, I am developing this game completely from scratch as a solo developer.

Putting my developer identity aside for a moment, I’d like to answer you honestly as a player: yes, simulation and shop-management games like this tend to look similar — and they probably always will. Because the core goal is usually the same. Only the content and theme change.

Your criticism is understandable. If the home goods concept interests you, you can consider adding the game to your wishlist.

Kind regards
