This game is delightful, relaxing, and has enough of a plot to keep me engaged. VERY satisfying and fun!
Simple game, but fun.
Petit jeux sympathique, jolie sound design, DA originale. J'aime bien y jouer par petite tranche de 45 min - 1h, de quoi avoir ma petite dose de cosy.
I can't stop playing this game—you mean I get to decorate my little bookshop wagon and live a chill life selling and recommending books to customers in a quaint, small town?! This makes the ex-bookseller in me so happy!! Particularly when I saw titles like Cleopatra and Frankenstein, Normal People, Death on the Nile, Anxious People—some of my favourite books. Dev, you've got my 100% recommendation for this game for just featuring these good titles in the game. This is an absolute no-brainer for book lovers!!!
So fun and calming. If you are a cozy gamer this is a must play.
I should've bought this sooner. As a creative writing major/author, this is an incredibly fulfilling game that has given me plenty of books to add to my TBR.
Чудова гра, щоб відволіктися і почилить в атмосферному портовому містечку продаючи книги, знайомлячись з персонаждами та відкриваючи новий декор для свого фургона
玩到一半赶来评价,一个用书店运营来感受边远小镇人情冷暖的模拟经营游戏,虽说玩法在经营游戏里不算突出,但却把模拟经营类游戏少有的剧情做的很不错,从帮助小孩子的暑假作业到探望生病镇长真正与小镇密不可分,感觉还是太好了感谢陪伴
This game is honestly everything that I have been looking for. I wish Stardew Valley could feel this comforting to me. I have played for 17 hours and I have not ran out of things to do or things to explore. It is extremely addicting in a sense that, it requires no real effort other than your attention. This game has me so focused that I don't even doomscroll occasionally during my sessions. If you generally believe that you give great recommendations and advice in life, I highly suggest you play this game.
if you have ever in your heart wanted to sell and talk about books this is such a good game for it. it feels cozy while giving you book recommendations. what's not to love???
