I loved it, at least for the 60-70% of the playtime I have in this game. It was cozy, charming. I learnt about books, and I was able to recommend books. The characters you meet in the fictional coastal village of Bookstonbury are all very sweet and you help them with their worries, and celebrate endings and beginnings with them. You go through all four seasons, there several hotspots to sell books, and tons of items you can decorate your tiny bookshop with to help you sell more books, etc. But the closer I got to completion of the game I got burnt out. It started to become less fun. I had so many items and upgrades that I could sell anything anywhere, but the customers felt slow in their browsing of books (wish there was a way to increase the speed here, x2 would be nice, or even more.), and near the end their wishes just made no sense to me. Customer wanted a book that had X and Y and Z (themes, etc), I couldn't find any books matching all three so I recommended a book that had X and Z, but then they complained about the lack of Y. Other times the same thing worked, so I couldn't make sense of it. But all in all I would say I am happy with the experience, I am glad I played through it, but if you are a completionist you better have a lot of patience for the slow gameplay. Edit: After thinking more about this game there is another thing I would love to see changed, and it's the sizing of the books in comparison to their real life amount of pages. Trying to find a book with 700-1000 pages for someone that wants a long read would be way more pleasant if I could judge the length based on book size, because having the biggest book being the 44-pager and the thinnest little thing being a 600 page epic make little to no sense.
this is one of those games where i wish there was a neutral option for steam reviews. essentially, there were a lot of problems i had with this game, but i still found it fun and found myself returning to it, so i’ve decided to recommend it. still, i want to be transparent with my gripes. my main problem with tiny bookshop is the book recommendation mechanic, and it’s to the point that i actively skip it. here are some examples of why:- - one character asked for something historical and i recommended animal farm. she was unhappy with me despite it being an allegory for historical events. - i had someone ask for a gruesome horror, and i selected a book that said it was gruesome in the description, and they then said it wasn’t gruesome enough. - characters will tell me that a book must have a happy ending, and can get mad if the book doesn’t. how am i supposed to know how the book ends if i haven’t read it, other than avoiding recommending books that i know are tragedies, or googling it? - there are also often countless times when they’ll say something like, “i love classics and i wouldn’t mind if it was a part of a series” so i decide on a classic, only for them to get mad at me that it’s not a part of a series. in my opinion, saying you wouldn’t mind means that it’s not essential for the recommendation, so it’s annoying that it’s not clear. - i also feel like some of the parameters are subjective. someone asked for a book that wasn’t too long and i recommended something around 300 pages and they said it was too long. for me, i can comfortably read that in a day. i much prefer when they say something like, “nothing over 300 pages” - sometimes the dialogue is laughably wrong — one character asked for a fantasy book and i found one that fit under the kids section. after she accepted the book, she said it looked potentially spicy, despite it being a middle grade book. - multiple characters will say a book must be by a female author, but it’s sometimes hard or impossible to know if the author is a woman, either because their name is androgynous or it only has their first initial. if these issues with the recommendation system didn’t exist i would find it fun, but instead of recommending books based on my knowledge of books, i’m often stuck thinking “what does the game think this book is?” instead of actually recommending books. other issues i had with this game:- - some quests are locked to seasons, and if you don’t complete them within the correct season, you have to wait for an entire year to pass before being able to continue the quest line. this leads to weird continuity errors— for example, i was helping a character recover while in the hospital, but didn’t finish the quest before the season ended. she was out and about and fine for the whole year, and when a year passed, she was back in the hospital recovering from surgery that she had a year prior. - the genres in this game encompass multiple genres within them; for example, the genre “fantasy” also contains sci fi books. there is a character who always asks for sci fi books, but since i have no choice about what fantasy books are on my shelf, there’s no guarantee of sci fi being there. additionally, it’s hard to tell what books are sci fi and not fantasy without googling them or having prior knowledge of the books. this is true for every genre; for example, crime also contains horror and thriller books, and some characters will want thriller and not horror or vice versa. i do like that the game has real books though, it has almost 1000 real and unique books included, and i’ve found myself screenshotting the ones that sound interesting so that i can read them later. i just wish that recommending them felt more fair.
8.5/10 I recommend this game because it does everything it promises. It's cozy, has management, and it's cute. I can't get enough of the animals. As a perfector, this title feels very refreshing as it offers multiple means of completionism, like collecting stamps and fulfilling requests. The art style is beautiful, unique, and cute. You can tell there's love and effort put into it. I'd say it's a breath of fresh air compared to other games. The camera controls feel smooth. There are options to interact with the background that add immersion to the game. There's lots of content, and I can't come up with any reasons to not buy for full price. This game is worth it and if you want a refreshing and cozy getaway, this game is perfect for you. However, there are only a few things that irk me about this game: - After a long time, recommendations get repetitive and it's easy to feel like overwhelmed; like you don't even want to do them anymore. This brings me to my next critique: There is no option to disable recommendations. While it's true they expire without consequences, it adds a feeling of disappointment whenever I know I let one expire. Plus, sometimes I just want customers to get out of my shop, and recommendations make them stay for extra seconds. - Recommending the wrong books make me feel upset or restless. Declining feels the same way. The game plays a disappointed sound effect that makes you think you did something wrong. Despite there being no punishment, the effect lands the same, and it makes it known that I didn't succeed. - Demands that customers ask for in book recommendations may not be their game descriptions, meaning you will have to know this info beforehand (EX: popularity of titles. I cross my fingers when a customer asks me for a niche book, because god knows I haven't heard of half of these books.) By no means do these dissatisfactory elements remove any worth to this title, but they are important downsides to consider. Other than those, this game is a refreshing casual and relaxing game with an exceptional art style and unique gameplay. Overall, I definitely recommend this to any cozy-game lovers. Edit: If you're an achievement collector like me, I cannot recommend this game. The end game achievements are very repetitive and drove me insane.
Saw this game's name pop up in a Facebook group that recommends cosy games, then saw it on sale and thought, why not? Well lemme tell you, I think it is worth it even at full price. I've gotten almost 40 hours from this game and never have I felt more chill while playing a game. This game got me out of my reading funk, absolutely whiplashed me with titles I've not heard in over 15 years (looking at you Gregor the Overlander), and genuinely made me want to complete everything in game. The Good Vibes: - You do get connected with the storylines with the characters. Some storylines are a bit weaker than others, but Klaus and Anne and Tilde are my GOATS. Even Harper is my little buddy. - Beautiful but simplistic artstyle. Everything is pretty easy on the eyes making this so, so cosy after a long day of work or while it's raining. - The decorations! SO. MANY. PLANTS. You can customize your wee bookshop with many different things and themes, from maritime to spooky, and the option is always there to make one that vibes with you or optimizing booksales. Yes you do have to contend with space, but I think that's part of the fun. Plus, they've added presets, so if you love a design but don't think it'll do well in a certain part of the town, you can save it for later. I think I had something like 8 or 9 designs saved. - BOOOOOOKSSSS. Like I stated before, lots of various book titles that bring back memories, and honestly? I even got a couple on Kindle because the little synopsis seemed interesting to me. Did I recommend a book to myself? Devs also seem interested in keeping stuff updated, there are books from 2025 in here. The Bad Vibes: - Gameplay does get repetitive, especially after the first year. Also at that point, you oftentimes have so much money and nothing to spend it on that it does lose interest. - Some stamps are season-locked. My last achievement I don't have is to unlock all stamps in the book (each area will have little sub-plots of their own and objectives to complete.) If you missed stuff for the beach or winter market like me for example, You'll have to wait til next season before you can do it. Combined with the choice of some events in town that could net you more money or the flea market early on to get more furniture, these stamps can be really easy to miss until next year. -If you work in retail, then you'll already know this: the customers are kinda dumb. They'll be really vague sometimes, saying they like classics, manga, or a crime story. If you give them a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Agatha Christie book that ticks off two of their three preferences, they'll then go 'WELL THIS ISN'T A MANGA!!'. Some Tips and finishing thoughts: - There's no negative penalty if someone doesn't like your book recommendation, so even if it might not be what they're wanting, try to ALWAYS recommend. The buff is great. - The NPCs that enter your shop are wearing the colours of the book genre they like (red for crime, purple for fantasy, blue for travel, etc). The journal also shows what book types typically do better in what areas. - Most of the world is interactable, while most of it is to entertain yourself or learn lore, you can get either decorations, buffs, storyline progression or achievements by clicking on things enough times. - If you're optimizing, try to go for what sells best in an area, rather than just one genre. Presets help with this. Anyways, that's enough yapping from me. If you're wanting a chill game that you can easily sink time into that's not a farming sim, and you love books, this game is a love-letter for your inner librarian. 8.9/10
