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.
This is... not really what I'd call a great game, actually, but I'd absolutely recommended it for the right kind of people. It's pretty good in many ways, though I found it surprisingly flawed considering it's been out for several months with an "overwhelmingly positive" score. I do think it's a bit telling that according to achievement statistics, less than 20% finished an in-game year - which is not enough to get through the main story (if you can even call it that). I've been playing it a lot in the same way that you might eat a lot of convenience food. I've found it mostly pleasant and it demands minimal effort. There are a lot of opportunities to just lean back and watch the scenery and the coming and going of customers. You don't have to be very mentally present, and physically it can be played with just a touchpad and zero reflexes. So it IS a great game to play with my chronic illness. I also found it nice to play together with a fellow overthinker. A lot of my play time was spent arguing over how many of which books to stock, how to minmax decorations, which books might be least in demand with other customers while still fulfilling the criteria of the current request, or which recommendation we could hilariously get away with when no obvious choice was available. Being familiar with the IRL books is an advantage, so playing with someone who could fill out some of my own gaps was neat. I even started two saves on my own, to try different things and take my sweet time to make everything look nice. Which is not difficult with that artwork and the decent amount of interesting decorations - even our shared save's shop looks like a very pretty garage sale. The game also nails the atmosphere of a small coastal community. I found the characters mostly nice and fun, and I had some good laughs at some of the quests and dialogue lines. Unlike many other reviewers, I like the limited number of different books. It made me feel pleasantly familiar with my little shop, and I could learn the quirks of that notorious recommendation system. What the villagers are going to do with the 5th copy of the same book? Well, when are they going to read all those books anyway if they come by on a daily basis to buy a huge stack? There are a lot of things in this game that it's best just not to think too hard about. The recommendations are a good place to start talking about my negatives... Not sure if some of the books still have wrong or insufficient tags or if some customers are just meant to be obnoxious and wrong, but either way the result is a bit too realistic for my taste. Not a huge deal, though I did get annoyed at times. As I said, at least with the current limited selection you can get used to what works and what doesn't. I think the main thing that's lacking for a great game in my opinion is a more immersive feel. Not every game needs that, and I'm very fine with small indie games that stay superficial and/or repetitive if they are otherwise charming. But then I'd honestly expect it to be a shorter experience. In this game there was a long stretch when we were both wondering if it wasn't going to end soon. The constant redecorating for different bonuses and browsing through an increasing number of books was getting tedious, and there wasn't even any indication of what we had to do to finish the main story - or if there even WAS a clear end of a main story rather than just collecting all the stamps and memories. The soundtrack honestly didn't feel suitable for more than 5 to maybe 10 hours either. The extremely repetitive tracks during decorating and book recommendations got grating and un-cosy real quick. The rest was pleasant enough for a while, but I ended up muting the music completely (something I usually don't do unless my fatigue level demands it). It's a partially nonlinear game with a lot of things to do in various places, but apparently the game expects you to do some things in a certain order. Which you notice when you get continuity errors, like a character at an event being upset about an issue that's already resolved. I also learned through my new save that you're supposed to get an item that we didn't get in the shared one, probably because we didn't visit a location that the game thought we'd visit during that time. In one case, I was even actively punished for not behaving the way the game wanted me to: [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/2133760/discussions/0/691994366768790251/]mild spoilers for the first few in-game days . Then, I don't know if this is the same issue of dev expectations vs. player behaviour or more general pacing and balance issues: By the time we got around to a quest line that was sold as a meaningful challenge, it was completely trivial. By the time we unlocked most of the really cool stuff with good bonuses, we no longer needed it. By the time we unlocked a place that would have been awesome to use earlier, there was no reason to go there any more. On the other hand, we spent way too much time with just the starting bookshelf and a small extra box because new shelves are RNG-dependent. Oops, I wasn't going to write this much about a game that most things have already been said about. Anyway, TL;DR: My review is positive, but not overwhelmingly so. * * * If you like chill and story-driven games, check out my curator [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35872486]Peaceful Adventures and Stories .

This game is: - a big anti-stress ball - a fluffy cat to cuddle - a warm blanket and hot chocolate - a sunset with your soulmate - a night drive through the city - favorite music in your headphones - an autumn walk in the forest - the spring scent of the first flowers - jumping into puddles - the first night after putting on fresh sheets - a cold beer on a hot day - an evening by the fire with friends, roasting sausages …and most importantly… my big recommendation to everyone who appreciates originality, art, and a beautiful soundtrack.
As a former bookseller, this game is all the parts I loved about my job and almost none of the parts I hated. The only place it falls flat is the subjectivity of the accuracy of recommendations. I think Shakespeare's Richard III is a tear jerker! Sue me! I know this is such a nitpick, but I couldn't help but feel actual frustration at times when a book I knew would fit someone's request perfectly was turned down for seemingly arbitrary reasons.
I own a bookshop. This game authentically recreates many of the aspects of bookshop ownership such as: -struggling to fit everything on the shelves -getting bogged down in conversation with eccentric locals when you're in the middle of something else -recommending a book to a customer at their request and which meets their specifications, only to be told: "No that's not right." 10/10 no notes.
