Rock Bottom

The Mentor didn’t help you with anything aside from negotiating your lease with the Landlord. You have nothing but the Store, and a will to survive.

Menu label: Extreme Challenge Mode

You start with

  • None.

What Rock Bottom takes away

  • No basic tools: every other start gets Magnifying Glass, Labeler, Topical Medication Bandage, Fanny Pack; Rock Bottom does not.
  • No music cassettes in the cassette player (unless you take the Tapehead perk).
  • No bailout from Joe Wild: on difficulties that allow it, Wild once helps a struggling shop with free favors — never on Rock Bottom.
  • No display case timing tip.

Winning from Rock Bottom unlocks its own achievements: one for any difficulty and one for Hard or above.
