The company has its sites set on North America, and has already had several hits on Facebook with games like Mystery Manor and Big Business, with the promising Crime Story soon to follow. It's also a company that's run entirely by women, making it unique in the gaming world.We caught up with Darya Trushkina, Game Insight's VP of Business Development, to learn more about the company and what we can expect in the future.
There's an endless variety of business management sims to play on Facebook, so it's quite an achievement when a developer comes up with a genuinely novel twist on the formula. My Shops has you trying to manage an ever-increasing variety of shops located on a single avenue, instead of endlessly micromanaging a single store. This is a very intuitive way to change up the formula, but surprisingly, there's very little on Facebook right now that really plays the way My Shops does. Some elements of typical timer-driven sim play are there, but there's also a lot of strategy and even some action.
