Where do I Buy Items?
Scarlet Nexus features a primary Merchant or Shop where players can buy items, and that is Satori the Archivist. Satori is an NPC who you'll see most of the time in the various Locations of Scarlet Nexus, and you'll see him at various points of a location, specifically at areas before reaching a marked objective. Speaking to Satori allows you to manually save your game and fully replenish your HP as well.
Apart from that, Satori's list of items sold in the shop becomes updated over time as you progress the game. Make sure to always read the Brain Messages sent by Satori and check the shop when you can during Phases of the game and in-between a Standby Phase. - if you also have DLC Add-Ons, you can collect these and add the items to your inventory by checking out Satori's shop.
