▲ Game synopsis
Due to some family problems, our protagonist has to work part-time at a convenience store.
Then one day, he starts fiddling with his smartphone out of sheer boredom.
Randomly, he decides to download the dating application “Some Some” that flashes up on his screen.
Right when he opens up Some Some,
he begins his relationships with three young women...
Right through the front door walk the trio: a younger woman looking for a part-time job,
a foreign girl looking to become a singer, and a bodyguard who’s a little rough around the edges.
Who will you choose?
● Introducing the three heroines of Some Some Convenience Store
- Soohee Pyeon
| Voice actresses | Misaki Kono (河野みさき), Chae-ha Kim |
| Sex | Female |
| Theme song | If There Is a Correct Answer to Love |
| Job | Part-time Convenience Store Worker |
| Age | 20 |

The main heroine in Some Some Convenience Store. She’s a part-timer working under the protagonist and one year his junior. She’s kind and pure at heart, but due to her tender side, she’s overly considerate of others and easily hurt. Because of this, there are certain cases where she avoids interactions she thinks might stress her out.
Her goal wasn’t to work at a convenience store, instead choosing the job because the location put her close to her friends’ workplaces, so she could see both Adela and Yena more often. She tends to rely on her friends quite a lot, and as such, she also tends to nag (affectionately?) at said friends.
Before coming to work at the convenience store, she was your typical homebody, and she loves sweet desserts.
- Adela (Adela Prohaska)
| Voice actresses | Risa Kageyama (景山梨彩), Mi Jang |
| Sex | Female |
| Theme song | Alive on Live |
| Job | K-pop idol trainee |
| Age | 21 |
| Likes | K-pop |
One of the heroines in Some Some Convenience Store. She’s the same age as the protagonist at twenty-one years old. She’s a blond-haired, purple-eyed idol trainee who joined the Seven Stars entertainment company in hopes of becoming a singer. She came to Korea from abroad when she was fourteen and now lives with her older sister who works at a Korean company.
She came to Korea at a relatively young age, but her being a foreigner has led to her unique way of speaking where she mixes Korean and English. Due to her lighthearted way of speaking and outlook on life, one would expect her to be rather one-dimensional, but she’s surprisingly deep under all those layers. She’s also quick to pick up on situations with her keen eye.
Her status as a trainee means she frequently eats diet food, though it's not because she likes it.
- Yena Bang
| Voice actresses | Aino Shimada (島田愛野), Myeong-ho Lee |
| Sex | Female |
| Theme song | A Story in My Heart |
| Job | Private bodyguard |
| Age | 22 |
| Likes | Booze, spicy food |
The only heroine of Some Some Convenience Store who’s older than our protagonist. This private bodyguard sports brown hair and hazel eyes. She was the ace on her team in track and field back in high school, but due to a series of unfortunate events, she found herself increasingly isolated. Due to this, she’s not great at trusting people, and she’s slow to open up to others.
Soohee and Adela are her only friends, sticking at her side for some reason unknown to her. Even after giving up on her university dreams and becoming a bodyguard, Yena Bang’s friendship with the two of them continued.
She loves relieving the tension she gets at her job with a stiff drink or two. She may have a bit of a drinking problem.
- Product displays, the keys to increasing sales
Players operate the store on a week-by-week basis in order to bring in a steady income. All profit is transferred to the convenience store’s bank account, and with this income, players can buy and install new displays for future promotions.
To increase the store’s income, display management is extremely important. Once players set up a variety of displays with products customers need, such as alcoholic drinks, other beverages, frozen food, ramyeon, snacks, daily needs, plus even vending and claw machines, players can expect to see more customers and better sales numbers. The more stands and the better the products, the more sales one can expect.
As players progress through the game, they will unlock new product displays. By viewing certain events and fulfilling quests from visiting VIP customers, players can unlock new displays and other gifts.
Install new product displays to generate even more sales.

- Increases sales through a variety of promotions! ‘Promotional discount incoming!’
In addition to managing displays, there are a number of promotions to be carried out. Once displays are set up with a variety of products customers can purchase, promotional discounts are also unlocked to get customers to buy more of those products.
There are a variety of different promotions that can attract new and repeat customers, including percent sales, additional products given on purchase, “buy two get one free” sorts of bundle sales offers, and discounts on buying multiple products.
New display stands mean new promotional discounts are unlocked, so increasing the number of stands is key to increasing sales.
- Some Some, the app to guide your relationships
Some Some is a smartphone application that analyzes the psychology and connections of the heroines, displaying the probability of the protagonist being able to enter into a relationship with each woman. Some Some serves as a sort of relationship guide during the story, but it’s also a way for players to check on and know how to develop their relationships with each of the heroines.
Players can view one event a week for free or by paying for them using personal funds. Just as each of the women have their own particular charms, Soohee Pyeon, Adela, and Yena Bang have their own events and special CGs (scene artwork) to unlock. Every scene is fully voiced, allowing players to be completely immersed in these entertaining events.
Play through events to increase affection. All events are fully voiced.
- Increasing affection with the heroines is a must! Try gifts and conversations!
On top of events to view, you can also check your text conversations with the women and send them gifts. Players can send one gift per week. Gifts must be paid for with personal funds, but they’re necessary for growing your affection with the heroines and can’t be ignored.
Of course, it’s important to pay attention to preferences when sending gifts. If players watch for likes and dislikes during their conversations with each heroine, the gifts they send are sure to increase the affection of each woman. Also, after watching certain events, you may end up exchanging a few messages with the women. The heroines mix emoticons into their messages, allowing players to check their emotional states and overall affection.
Which gift will increase her affection the most?
