Tiny Bookshop

很治愈的游戏，很多任务没有时间限制，错过还有补做的机会，每天就这样买书、装修、看一下地图任务，和NPC的交流也很好

The people of this town think that Tolstoy isn't poetic, that films aren't a pastime, and that Verne's 'At the Earth's Core' isn't fantasy. I've heard it all now — customers are the worst, amirightorwhat?!

A fun and wholesome game. You get to know the locals in the seaside village as you go about selling books, from the real world! If you're not already well-read, this fun little game will have you learning plenty about them, so that you can personally recommend them to each of the local villagers.

很有意思的一款经营类游戏！人物故事和各种细节都很丰富，不容错过。但是对于全成就而言不是特别友好，后期无所事事的天数太多了又不能跳过，尤其是远滩的相关任务，要全成就的话一定要在第二年夏季结束之前完成。

A wondeful cozy game, be prepared for your IRL TBR list to grow!

This is a sweet, cozy, "community helps community" kind of game with a lot of love for diversity, themes of friendship, family, and chosen family, and settling in a new place that you want to call home. There's a lot of great quests for different characters, a cool selection of books and genres, and locations, and it's fun dressing up your little mobile bookshop for different locations (the presets function is incredible). There's no negative consequences for getting a Rec wrong (and sometimes you really won't have anything that suits, though make sure to always look outside of the genre they're asking for first!), and you can pretty heavily customise and tweak accessibility in ways that suit you. Some cons include the fact that every time I recommended a story on feminism/LGBT theory or Black theory to a customer asking for something "political" they'd go "that's not very political." Which is uh, incorrect, and a bit weird for a game that clearly does showcase diversity and different themes. I could never quite wrap my head around the fact that Black women fighting for their rights was not considered political, even though the book listing and blurb was right there. It felt jarring and tonedeaf for the game itself. (I could understand it in a game that wasn't going out of its way to depict this kind of diversity, but in one that is??) I appreciated the cast of characters, they were each allowed to be flawed (and sometimes annoying depending on what you like/don't like) in their own ways. Generally speaking it was not buggy/glitchy, and it never crashed for me, and every achievement triggered properly (except for one, which I think bugged out and then eventually corrected itself). Ultimately I also got a nice little reading list out of it! And it was incredibly fun to see titles from my own shelves, like Ace, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, etc. along with many beloved classics and some really interesting crime / fantasy etc. I definitely recommend this game to folks looking for a cozy, gentle game with good pacing, and a lot of meaningful cosmetic adjustments along the way! It was fun collecting every item. :D
