Update to original review after playing a few more hours: Still mixed feelings on this one. The game has potential but right now it's rough going/very slow to start. While things have improved somewhat, sales are still quite slow. Significant periods (despite having 7 genres now, priced between 5.5-6.25, outside signage which I've had since day one anyway, and spruced up decor) where I get no customers at all or no customers that actually purchase a book. I'm making anywhere from 155-175/day with no advertising and only marginally more with advertising- which is barely enough to cover advertising but not enough to purchase advertising + 1 box of books. MOre often than not, I just don't purchase advertising. I've unlocked higher tiers of books that sell for more but can't really afford to purchase much of them as they cost 90-110 per box. I'd like to purchase more decor, furniture, upgrades but revenue is slow going. Still have the trash respawn bug upon exiting the game/relaunching. Also new potential bugs discovered: Racks in warehouse - once you retrieve a box to replenish supply, you can no longer replace the box of that specific book, or any book, in the spot from the rack you retrieved it. It becomes like 'dead' space that can no longer be used - which effectively means it will get to a point where you can't use that rack at all as it's all dead space. The first rack I purchased has about 50% free space left as the rest is unusable at this point. Also, on the advertising itself - I've purchased advertising twice now between the hours of 0000 - 0300 , and the money is spent but the 'Already activated' indication on the advertising doesn't apply. I can't tell whether it's active or not. If it's not, then it's a waste of the little money I earn. Activating it after 0600 works OK though. All in all, if you're going to play this - best to play it accepting there's a few bugs currently (but the developer is working on them) and best to accept that it's going to be very, very slow going to start - I'd play this on one monitor and keep your second monitor on (if you have a second) watching something or, heck, even playing another game while you wait in this one. As it stands now, and so far in this game, you'll have plenty of free time to engage with something else while you wait for things to pick up in this game.

I do not recommend this game, as affordable of a gamble as it might be. I saw the mixed reviews, the decent trailer, and the low price and thought I'd give it a shot. If it didn't work well, it was only a few bucks. It doesn't work...at all. It will load up the main menu, but when trying to start a new game, it crashes, fatal error message and all. I retried a few times, thinking it was something about the graphics vs. my computer, but no, it seems to be an issue with the game itself.

I really really want to love this game. I have read a big chunk of reviews prior to this and have seen the big negatives and the positives. I do think that a vast chunk of the negatives didnt read the tutorials correctly or at all because 90% of what was complained about was explained in the tutorials. Now i want to love this game. i play many games of this nature so was excited to stumble across this one. i played the demo and got sucked in, purchased the game and have played for many hours this afternoon. It started off great and dandy. i like the mechanics of the game, the freedom to play around and the feeling of actually running a store. what has got me is, i reached store level 15, purchased an advertisement for $200 (which is not easy to get) and from then the game has glitched. i have recieved not a single customer in my store, they walk past, stop then turn around, walk back past the door the opposite way and just keep walking. I am still being charged for the loan i got to help out regardless of the fact that everything else has glitched so now i am falling into debt with no way to re-enable customer interactions. Store has 4.6 star rating and everything is dandy otherwise. my only other small peeve is how incredibly slow burning it is. i have found i have had a lot of idle moments where i wind up scrolling on my phone while i inevitably wait for customers to browse and purchase books so i can do the next very small upgrade/pruchase for the store. besides these 2 things, i find the game enjoyable, relaxing and entertaining for the most part. ps. would love a notepad or something so i dont need to memorise which books need re-ordering a tally at the end of each day and what books/genres sold would also be super helpful i have also seen the Dev get very defensive in the reviews, so to be clear, this is not an attack, but rather my experience with the game after an evening of playing and an hour of no customers with countless restarts of the game. I am also unable to start a new game so i am truly stuck in limbo with a glitched out game

Full of AI slop and nothing like the first video I saw.

Игра интересна своей задумкой, много недороботок, но все же стоит внимания, а если создатели ее не забросят и продолжат развивать то проект будет успешным

I have only played for a few hours but already I like this game. I definitely should have read the tutorial stuff first because I spent 5 minutes looking around the apartment for a cash register like a weirdo. Once I found the store I saw so much potential. I like the early game layout and am excited to see how the store grows. I love not having to slave over a cash register. The good reviews are encouraging (haven't had a bad review yet). Mostly about the store cleanliness. I bought a trash bin right off the mark because I'm lazy and don't want to clean... I also love not having to decide where to place the furniture. I'm guessing that will be updated one day but for now I'm all for it. The books are stunning. I can't wait to afford the more expensive ones. The only thing I would like to be able to do is charge a bit more. But all good. People will find it slow and grinding, however I am happy with that for a change. It really depends on what you are looking for. The other simulator games I'm playing atm when I get home from work are fun but stressful. Do I want that stress when I get home from work? Not really.... This one allows me to have fun slowly building a business, but also unwind a bit. Good job.
