Run a small, seaside second‑hand bookshop in this cozy narrative management game. Stock your shelves with a variety of books and trinkets, arrange the shop’s decor to suit your taste, and watch how different items influence the customers who visit - some objects even unlock new gameplay elements.
Learn what each customer wants, suggest the perfect read or gently nudge them toward something new, and build relationships with the quirky residents of Bookstonbury. Each neighborhood attracts a different crowd, so curating the right mix of genres and titles is key to becoming a successful bookseller.
Wander the picturesque corners of Bookstonbury-by-the-Sea to uncover the town’s stories and mysteries - from local lore about Bookston Burgh to the legend of St. Bookston. Along the way you’ll find hidden items, collect stamps, and assemble little keepsakes that personalize your journey.
There’s an active community on Discord if you’d like development updates or to chat with other book lovers. Tiny Bookshop can be downloaded.
