Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 2.71/day in the week to Sep 12 → 5.17/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

I picked this game blindly and really enjoyed the game.
sehr niedliches Spiel mit niedlicher Grafik =). Und wer Simulatoren aller Art mag, wo man Läden, Lager von klein auf groß bringen und ausbauen muss und parallel keinerlei Zeitdruck mag, wird sich hier wohlfühlen =). AUch tolle Mechaniken mit den Fähigkeiten von Büchern oder das man sein Imperium auf anderen Städten der Welt erweitern kann,find ich sehr toll und interessant =). Leute kauft das Game =)

I did like the game. However i did think that it is a little lacking when you switch locations. The cats are cute but i would like something more to do with them. They just sit there a look pretty. The books are cool, the legendary books even more. The models of the characters are ugly so you have to get used to them. Cute game, more work on the game would be appreciated
I was just looking for something that I could do that didn't really require much from me. This game popped up. It's oddly addicting. I had to force myself to stop tonight LOL. I plan to continue to play this whenever my mind is overloaded and I just need a relaxing break. I really enjoy. I'd recommend it to anyone that just wants a relaxing game where you don't have to stress over anything and can do things at your own pace and design your bookstore how you want it as you earn the chances to expand.
**Bookshop Simulator ist für mich eines der besten Simulator-Spiele.** Ich mag einfach die ganze Atmosphäre: die Bücher, die Katzen und dieses ruhige Gefühl im Laden. Es ist kein Spiel, das einem in den Augen wehtut oder mit zu viel Chaos überfordert. Die Grafik ist schön, angenehm und passt richtig gut zum Thema. Am Anfang hat man direkt einiges zu tun, aber genau das macht Spaß. Es wird nicht schnell langweilig, weil man immer wieder etwas verbessern, sortieren, verkaufen oder aufbauen kann. Besonders die Katzen geben dem Spiel noch mehr Charme und machen den Buchladen lebendiger. Was ich mir noch wünschen würde: Ein separater Lagerplatz wäre sehr praktisch. Zum Beispiel ein extra Lagerraum oder die Möglichkeit, Wände zu bauen, damit man das Lager etwas verstecken und ordentlicher gestalten kann. Das würde den Laden noch schöner machen und mehr Möglichkeiten beim Einrichten geben. Für mich ist Bookshop Simulator ein sehr gemütliches, aber trotzdem beschäftigendes Spiel. Wer Simulator-Spiele mag, Bücher liebt oder einfach ein entspanntes Spiel mit schöner Stimmung sucht, sollte es auf jeden Fall ausprobieren.
I've immensely enjoyed the game so far and can't wait to see what else this team cooks up! The game features relaxing gameplay, a satisfying leveling system, decent array of decorative items and booms, and does a solid job of explaining everything to you. I also appreciate that they've chosen to omit some of the more tedious elements often found in these simulator games, such as thieves and cleaning.
The gameplay loop is very nice, it's more hands on in the beginning but gets to a point you can automate most of the daytime activities and watch youtube or something and then do the stocking at night, and then reset with a new location being hands on again as you grow the new location and repeat the cycle
Super fun and the new multiplayer is AMAZING. We are having so much fun<3 twitch.tv/BadassBarbiie
So relaxing and as a reader love the titles and artwork of the books. =)
