Really relaxing and perfect cozy game with cute story!!!
This game is so cute and cozy! It fills the stardew valley shaped hole in my heart because although the vibes are very similar; this game is a lot less stressful. I was grinding for max efficiency for my bookstore and dominating the market until I realized the game plateaued. I was kind of hoping to get a bit more urgency from the gameplay to be honest. It got to a point where I was asking myself, ‘shouldn’t there be more to do for maxing my efficiency?” However, the game emphasizes owning a relaxing bookstore, without any real constraints, where you can design your own books (think tomodachi life but not as artistic). Once I realized there was no ‘perfection list’ I had to complete I was able to enjoy the game idly. Resulting in my bookstore looking cute as opposed to generating the most money.
adorable and relaxing game. 10/10 would recommend to anyone
Es suuper relajante, el mayor problema termina siendo decidir si ordenar los libros por color o por título. Me fascina.
Played the demo, its a cute game, simplistic and a little tedious but its got cute storylines and a plot in the background that slips to the back of your mind until the murdered ghost in a book flies in to remind you to do things you either already know or to tell you to be more proactive, I love this game and its fun unlocking furniture and customising and "publiishing books" that you can sell
This is a cute book shop sim and very simple. The storyline is engaging and the customization for your shop is better than I thought. Absolutely great for the price!
Chill, but still fun and engaging. I like the mini stories and being able to "write" my own books! It's exciting when customers buy them. It would be cool to have different holidays available, or to be able to put different books "on sale" to encourage customers buying those specifically.
Book Bound ist ein echtes Wohlfühlspiel und eine klare Empfehlung für alle, die cosy Games mögen. Es eignet sich perfekt für gemütliche Spielsessions, auch dann, wenn man nur etwa 15 Minuten Zeit hat. Genau die Art von Spiel, die man gerne startet, selbst wenn man eigentlich nur kurz hineinschauen wollte. Besonders Menschen, die Bücher lieben, werden sich hier schnell zuhause fühlen. Das Spiel schafft eine ruhige, entspannte Atmosphäre und lädt dazu ein, den eigenen Buchladen ohne Druck zu führen. Alles fühlt sich angenehm entschleunigt an und eignet sich hervorragend zum Abschalten. Kritikpunkte gibt es kaum, eher ein paar Wünsche für die Zukunft. Mehr Möglichkeiten für Werbung wären schön gewesen, zum Beispiel erforschbare Kampagnen für Zeitung, Funk oder Fernsehen, Plakate oder ähnliche Maßnahmen. Auch ein höherer Kundenzulauf ganz ohne aktive Werbung würde das Spiel noch lebendiger wirken lassen. Was jedoch wirklich stört: Wenn der Laden schließt, lassen alle Kunden ihre bereits ausgesuchten Bücher fallen und rennen sofort hinaus. Gerade wenn schon eine klare Kaufabsicht besteht, wäre es wünschenswert, dass diese Kunden auch nach Ladenschluss noch ganz normal abkassiert werden. Insgesamt ist Book Bound ein sehr charmantes, gemütliches Spiel mit viel Herz, ideal für ruhige Abende und kurze Spielpausen zwischendurch.
Super cozy, I especially enjoy the coffee mechanic. The only issue I had was it gets a little boring/monotonous in the late game when I had everything automated aside from writing books.
O jogo é no máximo ok, as histórias dos NPCs são bem ruinzinhas e o jogo fica muito maçante muito rápido. Tem outros jogos com a temática livros que valem mais a pena que esse.
