I love this style of sim. Its relaxing and lowkey helps with my OCD lol. I love that you can open stores in more than one location and even have a cafe and pets in the shop. The features are more of what I wanted in TCG Card shop sim. I can't wait to see what they bring to it next.
This is a fun and cozy bookstore simulation game. It is nice to be able to sell books that are based on real life novels.
I'm going to start off by saying I do not usually make game reviews, but I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH, I had to! This is a very cozy shut off the world type of game where you can play for hours at a time and not realize how much time you've actually played for. I have only played for a few hours and am already addicted. This definitely reminds me a lot of supermarket sim in ways of controls but shall I say can be better? I know it is still early access so I will forgive for now, but it is a little bit buggy. My workers will not, I repeat will not touch "The Halfling" aka The Hobbit lol- will not pick up the box from the side walk or restock. It is my one cursed book lol. **EDIT glitch is fixed now, this is a non issue. I also have a little difficulty seeing the type of books on the storage shelf. All in all I think this is a fantastic game and I can't wait to see what kind of updates and new content the devs bring!!
I loved it, its cozy and easy going but it allows you to be engaged and have to make decisions.
Richtig guter Simulator! Hab sogar nochmal neu angefangen nach all den updates. Ich spiele sehr gerne Simulatoren, und der hier ist einer meiner liebsten. Unbedingt reinschnuppern... Ach was, direkt holen :)

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'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
I’ve loved this game so much! Even in early access the devs are quick to try and work out any bugs. I’ve hardly experienced any and there’s been so much fun stuff added! Love it so much!
