Players are assigned positinos in a small owner-operated pet shop. Business is bad, and as the game progresses it gets worse. Players do their jobs, opening up, feeding animals, cleaning cages, helping the rare customer, tending the register, and locking up at the end of the day.
As the money runs out, the managment has to start firing employees (which kicks them out of the game).
Eventually the store defaults on its mortgage and the last employee locks up and wanders off into the sunset, ending the game.
