You need to Play this Game

I played this demo last week and immediately bought the game. I rarely ever buy games but this game is so much fun and is great if you love management games.

You start by owning one bookshop. You buy licenses and books and sell them. After a bit you can get employees and they start doing the work. After a while you can get another shop, then another and each shop lets you unlock a new item. Eventually you sell books, bookmarks, comic books, manga, candy and even board games.

I completely automated my shop to where all I have to do is start a new day, order items and open. Making this my new audiobook game. If you like cozy early access games this is perfect!

💵 Price: $15.99 on steam but Right now it's on sale for $14.39
