Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 7.57/day in the week to Aug 7 → 9.86/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

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.
0/5 stars bookshop was too tiny
I love this game, it's so relaxing especially i'm a book lover.

I love books and I love this game so much, it is 100% made by people who love books
As an Information- and Library Science (ILS) student this game is really fun AND good practice för my exams! I feel I have an edge in this game as I also work part time as a librarian, but it says something that even those who do this as a job find a lot of joy in this game. Highly recommend! I'm sending this to my underclassmen as we speak
this game held a special place in my heart, even bought it in switch so i could cozy up whenever and wherever <3
It's a very low-stakes game, that doesn't demand much of you, with cute aesthetics. I wouldn't say it's cozy, because the gameplay doesn't support it: characters are passive-aggressive, they demand your labor, money, time, and show nothing in exchange. Quests are mandatory, you have no input within the dialog, the gameplay, nothing. Basically, you choose a place, put books according to the place, and hope for non-nonsensical requests (the AI will many times prompt two clues that are opposites, and you basically have to guess which one is the important one). It's grindy, and not even that fun. My favorite part is when the cat is dumped with you, and never mentioned again lol I yearn for games that understand the meaning of coziness.
Omg I am obseeeeeeessed with this game. For some reason I held off on it for a while even though it was already on my wishlist. Delayed gratification I guess?? Anyways LEMME TELL YOU IT WAS WELL WORTH THE WAIT. The juicy gossip/drama, the storylines of the characters, the book-stocking and book-selling mechanics and gameplay loop is sooooo addictive. Sometimes I start playing and then three hours later I look outside and I'm like oh, it's dark already. Literally. It's so so so fun. I think if you love recommending books to people, you'll love this game. If you love decorating, item collection, you'll love this game. If you love cute secondary character storylines, yup this game is for you. Sometimes it can feel a little grind-y but I don't mind it so much since there's a good amount of locations to unlock and so many things to explore and little rewarding stamps and missions and achievements. Anywho. Give it a spin, a try, a whirl. It's defo worth it on sale and even full price! Oh and on recommending books, yes, sometimes the recommendations don't work because the customer is asking for something kinda unhinged lol or just not really possible with the current set you have. I'd say look through every blurb carefully, and also it's not like there's a super negative consequence if you can't correctly recommend a book so it's not a dealbreaker for me.
Such a relaxing and fun game. If you love books, you'll love this game.
Honestly I'm not sure why I picked this up, but in the end it's got me totally hooked. Maybe it's because I was expecting some charm but holy the game oozes. Need more cozy games that are actually cozy ASAP
