Novel Haven is an extremely cozy and cute game ^^ You get a lighthouse that you can renovate and turn into a bookstore. There are lots of decoration options, as well as animals and plants to make the place look beautiful. Along the way, a small story unfolds, and you earn money through mini games. For a free game, it’s honestly too good :3
Kleines schnelles Mini-Cozy-Game mit schöner Geschichte :D
Прикольная игрушка по созданию книжного клуба, единственное очень быстро проходится и дальше уже не так интересно, все достижения можно получить за час.

Finde das spiel echt schön , vorallem das auch alle chars aus den büchern vorkommen . So in etwa habe ich mir das spiel auch vorgestellt als ich die bücher gelesen habe. Story ist zwar schnell durch macht aber echt spaß und man kann ja trotzdem weiterspielen .
perfektes Cozy game für Zwischendurch! Leider fast schon zu kurzweilig. Sehr süß und gemütlich gemacht, mit vielen kleinen Anspielungen und Aufgaben und viel Liebe zum Detail. Eine ideale Ergänzung zu den Büchern - wer von uns Buchwürmern möchte auch keine Buchhandlung dekorieren und aufbauen! Super für einen entspannten Abend!
Very cute game, you can do some mini games, decorate the lighthouse, read some letters etc. The game can be completed in less than an hour (though you can keep playing to decorate the lighthouse etc).
This is an extremely simple game with point and click interface. You can easily accomplish everything in the game in about an hour and a half. Its a nice, idle, brain check out with some limited replay-ability for the purpose of setting up different aesthetics in your library. There was one discordant moment during a mini-game where it prompts you to type "F!@# the police" which I did not care for.

Für einen kurzen Testlauf ganz nett.“„Schöne Idee mit wählbarer Männer‑/Frauenstimme, kleine Story, aber pixelige Grafik und teils unklare Aufgaben.

This game is a very soothing 1h experience. Wasn't sure what I was getting into when I first downloaded it, but I'm glad I got around to playing it. The available voices are not overly polished, and that's a good thing because it makes their monologues sound more grounded. By the time the lines ran dry, the game just switched to just a calm loop where you can finish off decorating your lighthouse and trailer as you work towards the 100%. Some feedback in case the dev makes similar titles in the future: - I'd love to see more layering options and furniture rotation. - One of the capybaras (#3) clips through layers. - The clouds are a little bit annoying since they keep blocking the "big book"
this was super cute and sweet! i love the way the building set-up works and i love how easy it is to get into the swing of things. the story is unique and is driven by a few different components like a mail system, a commissioned writing service, and even a social media page !!! i would absolutely recommend.
