Reviews
- Engaging gameplay with a sense of actually running a store, featuring freedom to experiment and slow-paced, relaxing progression.
- Well thought out mechanics including factors like pricing, star rating, advertising, cleanliness, and book genre diversity affecting customer flow.
- Nice visual design elements such as stunning books, automatic furniture placement to avoid pathing issues, and added features like lighting for delivery areas.
- Frequent and persistent bugs including crashes on starting new games, customer interaction glitches, trash respawn issues, and unusable storage racks.
- Gameplay pacing can be very slow and grind-heavy, especially early on, causing significant idle time and financial struggles due to tight budgets and low sales.
- Customer behavior and review system feel inconsistent and sometimes unrealistic, with customers leaving negative reviews despite well-managed stores, reducing player satisfaction.
monetization
10 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeUsers find the monetization in the game frustrating, as advertising costs are high and offer little return, barely covering their expenses. Additionally, glitches with advertising features and slow income growth make it difficult to invest in expansions, leading to a perception that the developer prioritizes profit over player experience.
“What has got me is, I reached store level 15, purchased an advertisement for $200 (which is not easy to get), and from then the game has glitched.”
“I'm making anywhere from 155-175/day with no advertising and only marginally more with advertising - which is barely enough to cover advertising but not enough to purchase advertising + 1 box of books.”
“Also, on the advertising itself - I've purchased advertising twice now between the hours of 00:00 - 03:00, and the money is spent but the 'already activated' indication on the advertising doesn't apply.”
