Scene from another Tuesday in this game: Customer: [i]"I'd like a book from this century but with the vibe of the ancient past, with real fact and romance, mystery, baked potatoes and Batman"[/i] Lilith: [i]"mmm we got this one, it is recent, the vibe you ask for, it's full of real facts, a heart wrenching romance and Batman is mentioned several times and seems important for the plot"[/i] Customer: [i]"Dang, it had to have baked potatoes :( "[/i] Lilith: [i]"Sir, it's literally a micro bookshop with 40 books among all genre, you ask for something extremely specific, maybe you could just listen to my recommendation or check on Amazon"[/i] Customer: walks away mumbling Lilith: smiling [i]"Another happy customer, who's next?"[/i] ^^ https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3759235219

从很小的时候起,我的梦想就是找一个安静的小镇经营一家书店,每天静静的读书和写作。这款游戏很好的帮助我体验了我理想中的生活,在一个人人彼此都熟悉的地方,听着彼此的故事,会有各种各样的节日活动,同时大家都非常热爱阅读,戏剧,音乐等等。而且整体可玩性也还不错,我喜欢这种玩法不太复杂,能够了解到各种书目还能和镇上居民互动的方式。因为这个游戏我也爱上了很多书,正在现实里慢慢看中。现在每天就是玩着玩着就被里面某本书的介绍吸引了,然后购入去阅读,读累了就玩这个游戏,然后循环。
J'ai passé un excellent moment. Un jeu feel good qui semble assez lent au premier abord mais qui d'une façon ou d'une autre vous accroche et vous fait rejouer encore et encore, pour avoir des timbres, pour découvrir l'histoire des personnages, puis finalement pour le plaisir simple de voir vos étagères se vider au fil de la journée... Point bonus : ça donne franchement envie de se mettre à (re)lire !
Це затишна наративна пригода з елементами менеджменту, де все починається з рішення залишити минуле позаду і відкрити власну маленьку книгарню на колесах. Тут рекомендуєш книги, облаштовуєш крамничку і щодня вирушаєш в нові мальовничі куточки. Крім того, знайомишся з місцевими мешканцями, допомагаєш вирішувати маленькі проблеми і насолоджуєшся неквапливими днями серед книжок і морського бризу. Кожен ранок починається з перегляду місцевої газети, де можна дізнатися прогноз погоди, календар місцевих подій, придбати сезонні прикраси і, найголовніше, поповнити запаси книг. Саме з газетного переліку обираються книги для крамниці, формуючи асортимент під конкретну локацію. Перші дні я просто не могла відірватися від гри. Так захопливо декорувати свою маленьку книгарню, рекомендувати книги і знайомитися з місцевими мешканцями, кожен з яких має свою особисту історію та спогади, які поступово відкриваються в процесі гри. Дуже подобається, що в грі використані справжні назви книжок різних жанрів, навіть є манґа 💕 Проте моя помилка була в тому, що я грала щодня і досить довго. З часом гра почала все більше набридати через однотипний геймплей, а «рекомендації» перестали приносити зацікавленість. Все одно я продовжувала грати заради сюжету і тому, що справді прив’язалася до персонажів. Тому раджу не повторювати моїх помилок і грати в Tiny Bookshop час від часу, по кілька ігрових днів, щоб насолодитися грою сповна. Вона справді дуже класна і особливо сподобається тим, хто любить книжки 📕
I totally fell in love with this game!! I just love the cozy small town atmosphere, the gamestyle, the fact that when you play long enough the characters get to know you and make you part of their community. Couldn't recommend this enough + if you like books (and I know you do) you'll get a chuckle or two from some of the book descriptions.
Pretty boring game with extremely slow progression. Boring characters. Seriously, couldn't care less about anyone but Anne. Recommendations system is broken, lumping genres randomly, simplifying books to their descriptions inside the game. Catcher in the Rye isn't coming of age book? You got to be kidding me. Or when a customer says "I don't think this book was written by a woman" to book of a trans-female author exploring femininity. I beg your finest pardon?
