Шикарная игра. Очень помогает расслабиться. Интересно играть даже после того, как сюжетка пройдена.
Simple game, but fun.
This game is delightful, relaxing, and has enough of a plot to keep me engaged. VERY satisfying and fun!
It's a very simple and casual game. I'm not even if I'm sure it could be called a game really. It's cute, the characters are cute. It's boring too, but I can't stop playing it?! I genuinely enjoy this silly little game!
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.
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
que jogo perfeito que está consumindo minha vida!!!!!!
Coziest of games about books - great for all book lovers, and those who want to own a simple little shop in a simple little town.
