About the Game
Enter Pawnbroker Simulator, where every deal, appraisal, and choice forges your path to pawn shop greatness. Sharpen your instincts, unlock new talents, craft a storefront that turns heads, offer high-stakes loans, and stay one step ahead of cunning thieves.
Dive into the core of the game: examine glittering treasures up close, negotiate deals, accept pawned goods, close sales, and guard your shop with vigilance. Put your eye for value to the test, outsmart shrewd customers, ride the waves of market demand, and protect your haul from thieves lurking by day and prowling by night.
Negotiation & Evaluation
Negotiation is your engine for wealth. Read the room, strike at the perfect moment, and keep your margins fat without letting a deal slip away. Train your eye to spot fakes, uncover treasures among hundreds of unique items, and let your growing expertise lead you to clever pricing and foolproof trades. Bring in specialists for rare finds and build mastery in Fine Art, Arms, Gear, and Collectibles to boost your accuracy and repair prowess.
Customers & Progression
Each customer is a puzzle with quirks and secrets. Uncover who is trustworthy, who is impatient, who drives a hard bargain, and who hides traits like Hoarder, Reseller, or Aggressor. Build relationships with regulars to access secret deals and golden opportunities. Level up your skills in appraisal, negotiation, prediction, and management, and earn qualifications that open doors to new perks and clever strategies.
Store & Security
Turn your shop into a showstopper with vibrant colors, chic furniture, dazzling décor, and a signboard that demands attention. Personalize every tile, wall, and corner to your vision. Grow your space, craft displays that lure in the right buyers, and juggle storage with limited slots. Then, defend your turf: set up cameras, alarms, locked cases, and reinforced doors, and face down thieves when all else fails. Every day is a fresh challenge, making security a battle of brains.
Money & Management
Feel the pressure as bills pile up and expenses mount. Pay rent, utilities, upkeep, and maintenance for items while balancing loan risks and changing item values in a dynamic economy. Monitor your cash flow, plan upgrades carefully, and protect your reputation to unlock rarer items and more demanding customers. Every decision affects your survival.

Official update history
Fixed an issue that was causing the pledgers to try to redeem their items on weekends after loading and old save file.
Hello,
We hear you & we listen to you. Said so with today's update, we:
Added an option to disable player stamina. You can do it in Settings > Game
Removed penalties for closing the store
Apologies for the trouble.
Hello everyone!
We’re happy to announce a new update that introduces a Player Stamina system and a completely redesigned Work Hours system. These changes make running your pawnshop feel more organized and realistic.
This update adds more depth and strategy to your daily routine by overhauling store management and player mechanics. Now, you’ll need to balance required business hours with strict off-hour rules to avoid fines from law enforcement. Running your shop isn’t just about making sales anymore. With the new Stamina system and the addition of a player home, you’ll also need to manage your energy or risk passing out from exhaustion.

Instead, we focused on improving the overall experience. We’ve added a new Daily Summary UI (requested by many players) to help you track your progress and made important changes to item rarity, so legendary finds keep their value.
Thank you for your patience while we worked on these big changes to make the game more immersive and rewarding in the long run.
Changelog | 1.1.3.13
🆕New Features
Work Hours System Overhaul
A brand-new system introduces three distinct time states, adding more depth and realism to how you manage your store.
🏪Business Hours
Weekdays: 09:00 – 18:00 (excluding lunch break: 12:00 – 13:00)
Your store must remain open during these hours
Closing your shop will result in fines from law enforcement
OKEI deliveries will not be made outside of these hours
A sign on the front door displays these hours
Not active on weekends
🚫Off Hours
Your store must remain closed during these hours
Operating during this time will result in fines
Applies to all hours outside Business Hours, except:
Saturday 09:00 – 13:00
🔓Free Hours
You are free to open or close your store with no restrictions
By default:
Saturday: 09:00 – 13:00
📜24/7 Trade Permit Changes
The permit no longer affects the nighttime customer count
Now extends Free Hours to 24 hours per day (except Sunday)
Allows operation outside standard business hours
Sundays remain fully restricted (Off Hours)
👥Customer Behavior Update
Regular customers (buyers & sellers) can visit the store at any time
Returning Pledgers (customers reclaiming pawned items):
Only visit during Business Hours
📜Daily Summary
Added a new Daily Summary UI panel to examine the results of a day
This panel automatically pops up at the end of each day
Player Stamina
A new stamina system adds immersion and consequences to how you manage your time.
🧍Stamina Levels
There are four stamina states:
Energized
Okay
Tired
Exhausted
How it works:
No major penalties in Energized, Okay, or Tired states
When Exhausted:
The player yawns
Vision becomes impaired
If stamina is fully depleted:
The player will black out
You lose consciousness and sleep for several hours
During time skip:
Stamina drains at half the normal rate
🏠Home Sweet Home
Added a player's home located down the street
You can sleep to restore stamina
Interact with the bed to choose how long to rest
Unlike time skip:
Your character sleeps and regenerates stamina until the selected time
🔧Improvements
Burglary is now disabled while the player is inside the store:
Time-skipping inside the store will automatically fail burglary attempts
If time is skipped outside, burglary can still occur
(Blackouts do not count as a time skip for this rule)
Added a short tutorial for older save files:
Triggered when interacting with the store’s open/close sign
Uncle Barry briefly explains the new work hours system
Only appears in existing saves (not new games)
Improved the rarity selection system when spawning an item for sellers to bring to the store. Previously, when the system selected a rarity — let's say "legendary" — it would spawn a legendary item and set its condition randomly. This would sometimes result in the legendary item becoming a rare item. From now on, the system will set the condition of the spawned item based on the selected rarity. Thus, when a legendary item is spawned, it won’t be downgraded to a lower rarity
🐛Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue that was causing the item specifications UI panel to stay on the screen forever
Fixed an issue that was causing buyers to leave their bought items behind if they were interrupted by the player
Hello,
Today we have two pieces of good information. The most important part is 1.1.2.8 update, as we managed to fix one of the most annoying performance problems.
Changelog | 1.1.2.8
Fixed a performance issue that caused FPS drops when looking at items
Fixed an issue that prevented the “Hidden Gem” achievement from unlocking (upgraded items through restoration do not count)
The second thing is a bit more like an announcement that some of you have asked us many times.
Pawnbroker is coming to Xbox Series X|S & PlayStation 5
It will be a few months as we are still focusing on the PC version, to add tons of new items, features, fixes & improvements.
BUT console version means also something important for many Steam players:
Full gamepad support (no mouse or keyboard required)
Steamdeck optimization + full controls support
You can already follow/wishlist Pawnbroker Simulator on consoles, and we would be grateful for that!

Hello everyone!
Today, we release a bigger update that addresses some of the bugs, gameplay flow, and features mentioned by our Pawn Shop Owners ːpawnbroker_spongeː
Full changelog below.
Changelog v.1.1.0
Improvements
Gameplay
Adjusted buyer spawn behavior: stores with more displayed items will now attract more buyers. As the number of displayed items decreases, buyer interest will also decrease.
Customers waiting in the checkout line will no longer leave the store after closing time. Only customers who are still browsing will leave when the store closes.
Disabled locking the player while a customer awaits item delivery. From now on, players will be able to move and interact freely while customers await item deliveries.
Added a maximum attraction cap for items. Item attraction can no longer exceed 100.
Added the option to sell back purchased furniture.
Showcases with lids can now be opened and closed while placing an item.
Added a special box variant for expired pawn items. These boxes now appear with a green “EXPIRED” label.
Disable collisions between the player and the robot cleaner.
Reputation
Reworked the review calculation for customers rejected at checkout (by pressing X). If the current reputation level is below 3, these customers will no longer leave a review. Doesn't apply to buyers who agree to pay an item's list price.
Removed the review categories “Overpriced Item” and “Broken Item.” Customers will no longer consider item price or condition when leaving store reviews.
Reduced the reputation appeal bonus by 50%.
Qualifications
Removed the following qualifications due to limited item availability: 'Electronics Dealer License', 'Media License', 'Rare Books License'. Items in these categories are now automatically unlocked.
User Interface
Added color indicators to the customer interaction panel to represent different customer types.
Added a rebind option for the key that opens the bug report screen. This option can be found under Settings → Controls → General.
Added a dedicated UI indicator for scavenged items. Instead of the text “Bought for $1”, a green “Scavenged” label will now appear.
Added two more unique UI indicators to appear when looking at pawned item boxes. If the current day is their delivery date, the red image with “TODAY” will appear. If it’s already expired, a green icon with “FORFEITED” will appear.
Scavenging
Reduced the overall condition and rarity of items found in trash cans and dumpsters
Attraction
Added attraction bonuses for synergistic items. Creating synergies between multiple items now grants additional attraction bonuses.
Added an item synergy overview. Looking at an item for 1.5 seconds now displays its current synergy links.
Added attraction bonuses for matching age types. Items from the same age category now boost each other’s attraction.
Bug Fixes
Gameplay
Fixed an issue where items rarer than the current reputation level allowed could spawn.
Fixed an issue where customers attempted to move near the storage door and could become stuck due to navigation obstacles. Customers will no longer try to move near the storage door.
Fixed an issue that was causing customers to get stuck waiting for a spot until they ran out of patience after beating someone with a slipper inside the store.
Fixed an issue where players could become trapped in the storage area due to furniture placed behind the storage door. Items and furniture can no longer be placed near storage doors.
Added a system that prevents customers from waiting in front of the storage door and blocking it.
Fixed an issue where buyers could abandon purchased items if interrupted before picking them up. These items could become uninteractable and disappear after reloading the game.
User Interface
Fixed an issue that caused item attraction indicators to disappear while placing items.
Fixed the price calculation for the bundle on the OKEI store home page.
Save System
Fixed an issue that caused the UI SFX volume setting to reset each time the game was launched.
Pawning
Fixed an issue that could incorrectly apply “Returned Pledger” penalties.
Fixed an issue where players could receive double payment when a pledger redeemed their item.
Fixed an issue that caused duplicate returning pledger data to be saved, resulting in multiple pledgers attempting to redeem the same item. Note for existing save files: For saves created before this version, existing pledger data will be ignored. If you have previously pawned items in those saves, their pledgers will not return.
Security
Fixed an issue that could cause items recovered by law enforcement to be delivered multiple times.
Regards,
Devs
