I would love to do simple things like rotating furniture or having trash bins, so I don’t have to pick up trash all day. Unfortunately, my wishes have not been granted, and I will be refunding this game with utter dissatisfaction.

It's honestly 'just okay'. It's a lot of the same and a little grindy. The character stories aren't all that interesting either. I'll shortly have all achievements and probably never play the game again as there is no replay value. There is a lot of room for improvement, I see the vision. I'm giving a positive review because for what I paid honestly I still got something out of it, but I think I would have been less interested if I was not the multitasker I am and doing other things like listening to podcasts and tabbing into other things as well. The navigation AI is terrible, customers and your vroomba will get stuck on your bookshelves. Since my second in game day I have a customer still stuck on my middle right side bookshelf, they do not disappear at end of day. You can at least reset the vroomba. The game isn't terrible but I wouldn't say it's fun or engaging either. The most fun I has was probably writing my book which consists of naming the book and then naming all the chapt...

While I enjoyed this game for the first hour that I played it soon became repetitive to me doing the same task over and over again with no real story line to me other than the book that talks to you now and again, I feel this game could improve massively with more development and more things to do outside of the book store.

Just a chill game about being a bookstore owner. You can even "write" your own books and sell them. I really like the little iterations with the npcs, and the duck (I think the duck is my favourite lol). All in all, if you want a chill cozy game about owning a bookstore where you can decorate it, I recommend it.

Exactly what it says on the tin. This is a cozy, bookshop simulator and not much else. There's some neighborhood stories here, but they're fairly short and it'll take longer to simply sell the books for all the achievements after which there isn't much else to do. I'd have liked to see more customization options, rotatable furniture, more options for drumming up business, pause during cutscenes, fewer glitches, more story, etc. The game is fine as it is, however. It was cute. Short. I'd recomend picking it up on sale.

It's pretty cute. I like the side characters and their little stories. Maybe wait for a sale though.

I want to love this game but it keeps closing unexpectedly.

This is such a fun and cozy game that is easy to fall into, and a bonus is that there are NPC's in the game who have their own little fun quest lines you get to kinda be there along the way for. If you're a cozy gamer who also loves books (like meee) I do highly recommend this game. You get a lot for the price and it's just so much fun to run your own little bookshop.

Good concept but there are so many bugs. NPCs are getting stuck, I bought an auto direction upgrade and it didn't work, and the furniture placing is difficult without the fixed tiles we usually have with designing games. I'll try again if the developer fixes some stuff because I really do like the concept.

This is very good concept and gameplay, but please fix the bug where the customers keep stuck in the shelves. I'm sure there's more updates so please game dev listen to your players
