« I mean this in the nicest way possible - I stopped playing the game because I felt guilty I wasn't reading a book. »👍 anonymous review · 23 h played4422« Quite easily one of the best cosy games for 2025!!! The characters are wholesome, the seasonal events are adorable and I love that you get to recommend REAL books to customers! Also works amazingly well on steam deck! »👍 anonymous review · 32 h played2« this game is perfect for book lovers!! i get so happy when books that i have read show up »👍 anonymous review · 6 h played1« As a book lover, this game was right up my alley! No gardening or quests with time crunches, just good vibes, selling books, and talking to neighbors. This is the perfect cozy game and I hope it never ends. »👍 anonymous review · 47 h played21« The definition of cosy gaming. Honestly, playing this really made me want to read more... but I didn't, I just kept playing this game. Can also be played with just the mouse, leaving my left hand free for consistent snacking. Big fan. »👍 anonymous review · 24 h played311« Il s'agit d'un jeu calme et plaisant. Il s'adresse aux amoureux des livres et qui souhaitent un jeu chill. »👍 anonymous review · 23 h played
« Je me suis très vite lassé, toujours la même chose. Toujours les même livres. J'y ai joué une heure et sa ma suffi. »👎 anonymous review · 2 h played« This game is impossible to enjoy, it feels so moralizing, forced and lecturing. I also found it boring and too slow paced, the unskippable scenes are irritating. The irony is that I found it under the "Capitalism" tag. »👎 anonymous review · 3 h played« This game has felt very repetitive and slow paced -- just not my type of game it seems. »👎 anonymous review · 7 h played« Way too tiny for my tastes. You have 40 slots for books, and a dozen or so set points to put items on. I like the concept but there isn't much game here. »👎 anonymous review · 17 h played« Tiny Bookshop: I’m a librarian, so I literally can’t escape books even in my free time. Started the game to relax, accidentally did my job again. 10/10 unpaid overtime simulator. »👍 anonymous review · 9 h played5421
