The doors and the signs that point the way
The wayfinding arrows come as a set: an enter arrow and an exit arrow, a long one and a plain one, and one named for the exit door.
A shop in TCG Card Shop Simulator is walked through, not only clicked through: the game names a door frame and wooden and metal doors, two glass doors, a set of wayfinding arrows and the plates that hang at an entrance.

- Glass is named again beside the door meshes. (checked against the game's own files)
- Rooms can be signed as shut: a close sign and a closed warehouse room sign are named. (checked against the game's own files)

In play
A shop in TCG Card Shop Simulator is walked through as well as clicked through. The game names an entrance sheet that carries two plates, one telling a visitor to use the main entrance and one inviting them in, so the way in is a thing a player can hang rather than only a doorway.
The wayfinding arrows are a set of their own. An enter arrow and an exit arrow are named, a long one and a plain one beside them, and one arrow is named for the exit door, which is how a shop can be pointed through rather than only labelled.
Doors are built from parts. A door frame is named, a wooden door and a metal door beside it, and a second door piece, so a door in this game can be assembled from pieces rather than only dropped in whole.
Glass is a piece of its own as well. Two glass doors are named, one of them the reveal door, and glass is named again beside the door meshes, which is why a shopfront can be glazed rather than walled.
Rooms can be shut, too. A close sign and a sign for a closed warehouse room are named, and that is how the game can tell a visitor that part of the shop is not open to them.
The houses outside carry a full set of sheets each. One house door has a colour sheet, an ambient occlusion sheet, an emission sheet, a metallic smoothness sheet and a normal map, and one house window has colour, ambient occlusion and a normal map beside it.
That is why the outside of the shop is worth reading. The same small vocabulary of doors, glass and arrows does the work, and a player who can tell one plate from another can find the entrance, the counter and the way back out.
What this entry does not tell you: which of these pieces the shop starts with, what any of them costs, or which building places which door. We have not verified those, so we do not print them.
