inKONBINI may be a convenience store simulator at first glance; however, its main focus is on the interaction with your valued customers and how their visit to HONKI PONKI has impacted the lives of its workers as well as their own. There are so many things that can happen during a shift at night, while you are all by yourself. What if one of your refrigerated displays breaks? What will Makoto do? This is our guide for the Hardcore Maintenance trophy.
Check out our inKONBINI Review for our full thoughts on the game.
Hardcore Maintenance Trophy Guide

During your fourth shift on Thursday, August 26th, the blue fridge will stop working.
You can try calling Aunt Hina. She’ll tell you about the Appliance Repair speed dial on your phone. However, to get the Hardcore Maintenance trophy, you’ll need to do it yourself!

There’s only one real way to do it, which is to give it a love tap. However, you’ll need to find that out from someone else other than me!
Calling the Chief or asking Satoshi about it will do the trick!


Once you’ve gotten the go-ahead from someone else (because a kid much younger than you is way more knowledgeable …), go ahead and show that fridge some much-needed violence.
That was our Hardcore Maintenance trophy guide for inKONBINI. We hope this helped you get through your night shift. Check out our other guides for inKONBINI below.
