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 → 4.86/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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.

Very addicting and fun. The mechanics of the game are very straightforward. I loved seeing the play on words for the titles of the books. Honestly, started playing it today and before I knew it, 5 hours had passed. Highly recommend.
Bom demais.
Fun game. I love the parody book title and the fact that the game works with the Steam workshop. I just wish the stockers wouldn't drop the boxes right in front of the bookcase if there is no storage space for them. Everything else is great.
⭐ I highly recommend this game! It’s incredibly cute, cozy, and aesthetically pleasing. Playing it was an absolute joy, and it’s the kind of game that makes you want to spend hours building your own bookstore and simply enjoying the relaxing atmosphere. I especially recommend it to anyone who loves books, enjoys organizing everything neatly on shelves, finds satisfaction in order and attention to detail, and, of course, loves animals—especially cats. 🐈📚 If you’re looking for a cozy, relaxing game centered around books, Bookshop Simulator is definitely worth your time. I personally had an amazing experience with it and enjoyed every minute. Highly recommended! ❤️
It is so easy to get lost in the comfort of this game. It is not hectic at all and I don't feel like I am being rushed to build and expand faster than I want to. Within 5 hours of game play, I am at level 15, have a cat, and an employee. The graphics aren't hi res or anything, but that is perfectly fine for me. I haven't encountered any bugs yet. +good pacing +chill atmosphere +cats +funny book titles - (nothing negative yet)
Great game. I thought it was going to be really short but to my surprise, there's a lot to do and I'm already 13 hours in. There's a whole Cafe aspect to the game and I'm almost at the point of getting to try it out. There's a sort of Pack opening gatcha system in the game. Sort of akin to TCG shop. Character models aren't ugly. there's a good veriety so it feels more immersive. You can collect Legendary books and display them, completely changing the way you run and build your shop. Honestly super impressed.
i like everything about it but i have noticed that if you open a bookshop somewhere else your other ones stop functioning unless your there
