How it feels

You run a small bookshop, buying stock and slowly expanding while decorating the space.

What players say

Players love the cozy atmosphere and the ability to customize shops, own cats, and eventually run cafes in new locations. But many criticize the economy for being unrealistic, customers buy twenty copies of the same book, and early access bugs like crashes at higher levels and save files failing to preserve door colors.
