  • Summary: In Ajik City, you're a total stranger. Because you were rescued few days ago at a beach losing everything, even your memories. The person who saved you is Darcy, who has been operating a 30-year-old one-and-only secondhand shop 'Darcy's' in the city.

The person who saved you is Darcy, who has been operating a 30-year-old one-and-only secondhand shop 'Darcy's' in the city. He has set you as a manager of his shop and gave you the name of his son, Bob.

    However, the city seems odd. People don't seem to know how to reveal their thinkings or feelings, or maybe, they're hiding them.

    Reveal the true value of the items coming into the shop. Each item has their own history. Dig deep to see what is behind them and become an expert appraiser. Begin a tug of war with customers. With their own expectations and knowledge, they never give up on money.    … Expand

    Despite these shortcomings, No Umbrellas Allowed offers a unique and engaging experience for players who enjoy narrative-driven sims with a dash of mystery. The atmosphere of the rain-drenched city, the intrigue surrounding the Fixerain, and the act of uncovering hidden value in everyday objects all contribute to a memorable journey.

    For a game with a lot of narrative weight thrown behind it, the most disappointing element of No Umbrellas Allowed is how much its world yearned for more exploration. Without necessarily increasing the runtime, it would've been nice to see more depth of variety or story-telling beats than the constant presence of the second-hand shop. Characters like Darcy really shine; a few more of them like him would've made a big difference. Still, No Umbrellas Allowed comes recommended for those looking to enjoy an interesting version of dystopian literature and some rock solid shop sim gameplay.

    No Umbrellas Allowed is a great game that is let down by interface issues and performance issues on Nintendo Switch. The font size forced me to play it entirely on the monitor I have on my desk when docked on Nintendo Switch and the constant hitching gave me motion sickness. I hope these can be resolved because No Umbrellas Allowed is a game I recommend, but with big caveats on Switch.
