It's a really fun game.
Cute amd cozy, super fun game! Loving the book titles too, thats hilarious!
I really enjoyed my time with this game. My only critique would be that it's a shame that there are only 3 stores, and they are very limited on upgrades. I would like to see more cafe options, at least one more store location. All that aside, it's fun enough and I would recommend it. Edit: I did just see that there is an update coming on July 20th, with what might be what I'm looking for. I'm very excited and play on putting quite a few more hours into the game.
のんびり本屋を経営、ではあるんだけどなかなかの混雑ぶりの本屋さん。 補充やレジはスタッフを早い段階で雇える。 本の種類が多いからそれぞれの本の内容のちょっとした概要とかあるとさらに思い入れが生まれそう。 〇〇Simulatorの中でも好きな作品です。 もうすぐ製品版。さらに期待してます。
This is the best store sim game I've ever played. The controls are so intuitive and it's just perfect!
Bookshop Simulator ist ein sehr schönes Spiel zum Entspannen – besonders, wenn man genügend Mitarbeiter hat, die die Arbeit erledigen. xD Hehe. Nee, aber es macht schon Spaß. Immer wenn ich es gespielt habe, hatte ich danach direkt wieder Bock zu lesen. Leider kam es nie dazu. Meine Leseflaute hat mich momentan richtig im Griff. Trotzdem würde ich mir tatsächlich ein paar Bücher holen, weil mich ihre Buchcover total angesprochen haben. :)
if you ever wanted to own your own bookstore this is your game. all kinds of books you get a pet cat, and special books that make the game special what i love is the customers dont yell at you hurry up or get made and your workers dont take days off or have to take breaks they are always there for you. i love this game highly recomond
Perfectly cozy. As a reader, I really enjoyed every single title of the books. My only wish was for books to be unlocked faster so I could get the whole series. I did only open the first shop though, so maybe with more playing I will be able to unlock more from series. Love the kitties and the progression. Basically as soon as I get bored of doing a task, I'm ready / in the position to hire out, and progress my shop. Perhaps spent too long in one area, but I was enjoying all the decorating and looking forward to opening my next location :)
Adorable and very satisfying bookshop sim, i easily loose a whole day playing. <3
