I really love the idea of the game, but in it's current state I can't recommend it. The primary purpose of the game is to help the town increase their reputation by running the library on a daily basis, including reshelving books, paying bills, cleaning, ordering new books and, my favorite and the challenge in the game, recommending books to members of the town. It includes other mechanics like fishing (I'm not sure what I can do with the fish once caught), and farming (I guess to make some extra money), but it's mostly walking around town talking to people and then opening the library and running it, using extra energy at night to fish. However, the main mechanics of running the library don't function properly, causing you to constantly lose reputation. Here are the bugs I ran through in just over an hour of play: 1. Individuals visiting the library will just stand in front of the shelves indefinitely, preventing you from reaching the shelves to clean. Due to this, you can't...

About This Game
You have moved to the quaint village of Maplewood, tasked with running a brand-new library to help restore a struggling community. But revitalizing the library isn’t easy, and funding is tight. To make ends meet, you’ll need to carefully manage resources, grow the collection, and host events to bring the villagers together.
Beyond the library, you’ll cultivate a quiet life in the village—tending to a small farm, fishing in the local waters, exploring the Whispering Woods, engaging in community projects, and forming deep connections with the townspeople. From aspiring writers to world travelers, every villager has a role to play in Maplewood’s revival. As you uncover pieces of the village’s forgotten past, you’ll shape its future. Can you transform the library into the heart of the community before the Folk Festival?

I'm kinda on the fence, but I will say Recommend, with the caveat that this is a very repetitive and chill game. If that's your jam, then go nuts homie. If you were hoping for a more in depth game, then eh maybe do not go nuts. The Basics: Gameplay loop is very short and samey. Wake up, maybe go fishing, sell your fish, chat up some locals, water your crops (if any), open library, rec 3 books to your customers, clean, put up returned books (if any), close library, fish, sell, water, etc. You get the picture. You get reputation by giving correct genre recommendations to your customers. You build relationships by listening to the locals say the same thing like every day. You get money by catching/selling fish, growing/selling produce and from daily donations to your library. You spend money on more books (and allegedly bills but I haven't actually had one yet). Nice: Interesting book selection. Chill gameplay. Nostalgic graphics. Clicking on a square moves you there much faster than ...
Unfortunately, very buggy right now. Hoping it improves.
