やりたいけど

体験版をやって、購入したかったけど、スマホがどんどん熱くなっていくので、購入するのを断念しました。

Absolutely amazing.

I generally don’t write reviews but this game is genuinely so amazing. At first I was a tad upset that you have to pay to keep playing, but at the same time it’s a indie game and probably doesn’t have a huge team, so I bought it (obviously) and I have NOT stop playing it! I love the graphics and the storyline and all the characters because it feels so lifelike. Amazing game, 10/10.

なかなか無い雰囲気のゲーム

店を広げてガッツリ稼いでこう‼️っていう経営シミュレーションゲームというより
細々とやってる本好きの中では噂の移動本屋さんというかんじ。
街中のお客さんがフラッと入ってきて本を選び、買っていく。
たまに、その人の求めている本を選んであげる。

しかしそんな中にもしっかり経営シミュレーションとしての考え方がある。
本を入荷したり。本を並べたり。
文庫本だったりミステリーだったり、はたまた旅行に関連する本だったり。本の種類は様々。
出張先ごとに種類ごとに本の量を調節して、買ってもらう。

自分の本屋さんを飾り付けて自分好みにもできる。

ゲーム内の一日の時間が短くて手軽に遊べるのも魅力的。
サクサク時間が進むから余計止まらなくなる。

体験版しか遊んで無いのにこんなにたくさん魅力を感じられた😭値段が安くは無いので買おうか悩んでるところ…
買ったらまたレビューしようかなと思います❤️

Love the game but overheats my phone!

Love this game it is so relaxing and fun but again with similar reviews it overheats my phone and drains the battery quickly, please fix this so I can play hours on end 😉

Response from developer

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that. You can try to go to Settings in game → Graphics → and reduce the frame rate. This will improve battery life and reduce heat as much as possible!

Fantastic Game!

I love this game. I know people will hesitate to pay for a game, but remember that once you pay then that is it - this is not one of those other games where you pay to remove ads and then keep paying for other things. You pay and that’s it. Nothing else to buy. And what do you get - a delightful cozy game! You travel around the town in your mobile bookshop, make friends, complete quests and learn more about the town. It’s a slow paced game - if that isn’t your thing, then you aren’t going to enjoy this. But if you like cozy style games (think harvest moon it’s a wonderful life kind of slow play) then this is the game for you - just with books instance of cows lol. I love that once I paid I can just play a game I enjoy without pressure to pay. There is lots to do. It does get a little repetitive at times - after hours of playing but after a quick break I am ready to get back to it. Love the graphics. Love the gameplay. Love the story. Highly recommend! Happy to pay a relatively small amount for the high quality of this game. I have some recommendations though: 1) the requests for books are very specific and even though I stocked plenty of the genre of book, I don’t have the exact type they want which is a little frustrating as I have no control of this and 2) would like to have an option to run a shop - maybe that comes later (hoping so). 3) would also be great if I could expand my mobile shop to get another book shelf in if possible. 4) allow us to feed the dog with the fish.
Thanks so much for a great game!

Adorable!

This game is so so so cozy and adorable. I can spend hours playing and forget the time. It’s so cute and enjoyable to decorate our bookshop as well as the characters and places we can visit/meet. It would be even better if we could customise our own character or even the name of our bookshop/our character but that’s just a suggestion.

Book Reviews

I am enjoying this game so far and even purchased the full version. I enjoy reading the little snippets summary of each books customers liked and going through each books on my bookshelf for recommendations. I got interested to some of those books too and was delighted when I come across a book that I have read before.

I wished there is a way to review all the books I’ve sold for each day because a book was sold and I got interested to actually find one for myself but I can’t remember the name of that book. Perhaps it can be a future upgrade to this game.

Really good game

This is a really good and addictive game I am autistic and it keeps me interested and I have played it for hours well worth the money

„der Fänger im Zocken“

Ich hab mir nach der Demo noch etwas Zeit gelassen ob ich die 8€ dafür ausgeben will, aber ich bereue es kein bisschen und habe schon mehrere Stunden und Abende in das Spiel gesteckt und nicht mal die Hälfte der Story durch 😍 endlich mal ein gutes Spiel fürs Tablet! Auch cool, dass NRW das Spiel mitentwickelt und finanziert hat. Ich war sogar ne Woche später im Buchladen um mir ein Buch zu kaufen 🤯 ich dachte ich hätte bereits aufgegeben, selbst ein Buch zu Ende zu lesen. Aber die Propaganda dieses Spiels hat mich erwischt und ich habe wieder ein Buch in die Hände genommen! Hut ab!

Response from developer

Hi! I'm sorry to hear that, can you please email us at info@neoludic.games about this and also include the device you're playing on? This way we can see what's going on and have it fixed.

LOVE IT!

I really enjoyed the depth and thought put into the game. Everytime I play I can feel the love that they have given into the dialogue, asthetics and details. It’s such a wonderful and cozy game. Made me want to start reading certain books aswell. Overall a good game that is detailed and well thought out! 💕💕💕

Best game I’ve ever played!! Five stars all the way!

What an amazing game! Jaw-dropping graphics, super cosy storyline and all in all brilliant! It is the BEST game for people who prefer a cosy, chill vibe in video games! I have an idea for it (sorry to bother)! So, you know when you recommend books to people in the game? I LOVE LOVE LOVE how all of the books are real! It’s really inspired me to get more books, and it gives me all sorts of great ideas for new books! Now, I think it would be AMAZING if there was a list on the game which we could add books that we’ve seen that we like the look of onto! An almost wish list for books we could buy in real life? Or maybe an option where you could buy the books through the game IRL? I know that last idea was crazy, but could it happen? FIVE STARS!!! Please play this game!!

PLS READ ALL FOR creators AND players

I have a couple of ideas tho you don’t need to use these

First idea: So I was thinking about writing our own books.
I mean the NPC can say the names that we put on them
This is just for fun
And you can also set what theme that is
But you can turn that in and off in settings

Second idea: so I wish that people
“like online people”
Can visit your shop of books and read them
And you can turn that on and off in setttings

Third idea: I wished that you put an horror book on there or either that you can like when you go on you can unlock new themes
Like
“Horror”
“Cute”
“Comedy”
And also combine like
“Classic/comedy”
“Kids/crime”
Something like that to add a bit of flavour and more if you want
You can turn off and on if you want all of the, at once

Fourth idea: so remember when I said
that
“online players can visit your store and read your books”
can you also add a feature like
“online players”
also adding a review to your shop
So that the other
“online players that hasn’t been to your shop yet can read the reviews and ratings”
You can add a setting thing where you can not see the ratings and reviews

5 idea: if you do add the fourth idea
Can you make like a ban or kick out or block
Or reported for
“online players”
that is being rude
So it’ll make the game safer and more balanced

And when you ban them they can’t add a review and when that player is blocked from your store they also can’t add a rating to your store

Idea 6: and also when you get into the mode when you go and create your stories give a warning not to copy right
And also a other warning about not to do

Idea 7: so um like can you choose what you want in your theme books
And can every object has its own theme
And if you like add 6 classic then more classic likers will come
Or like 4 kids and 5 science then more science likers will come but also kids
Or you can just like put it off in the settings

Idea 8: you could add a place where everything you do is free like
When you want to build a book free
But the stuff not free
And if like someone buys the book you can copy the book at any time

Idea 9: can you add where you can reset the game in the menu



So yea that is my ideas even tho you don’t get much information of what you know about the game
You should really try it and pls give it support


Because right now the game is kinda blend
And from adding a little ideas it won’t be so blend

But I get it if you don’t wanna use any of these ideas of mine if it doesn’t match your style
I just think that that’ll be cool


I was really looking forward to the update
But when I got in the update was about

Buying the game
I gave you all these ideas and this is how you betray them

Why can’t we just have a game that doesn’t need buying
So disappointed

I rather ads

Worth it

I haven’t paid to download a game in SO LONG - and I haven’t written a review for anything in the App Store for even longer, probably. But this game is such a joy - absolutely beautifully and lovingly put together by humans, and just the right level of gameplay challenges to feel compelling but not anxiety-inducing. Lovely. £8 incredibly well spent.

WHY IS IT PAID?

I really liked the game and how it’s built with so much intention but the fact that it’s paid breaks my heart.

7,99 €

Anstatt direkt im Store den Preis von 7,99 € anzuzeigen, muss man erstmal Datenvolumen verschwenden, um direkt im ersten Screen damit überrascht zu werden. Direkt wieder deinstalliert…

Great cosy game

I have spent so many hours in this cosy game, it’s perfect for relaxed evenings. For £7.99 I think it’s great, especially when you consider the amount of work with hand drawn graphics, original soundtrack and game development. Personally I’ve definitely got my money’s worth and I haven’t finished playing yet.

Платная

Игра чудесная , милая графика , все продумано до мелочей , НО она платная и оплатить ее нельзя к сожалению (

Wirklich tolles Game!

Geändert: Nach dem Tipp, die Grafikeinstellungen den Akku zuliebe zu reduzieren, was der Optik null schadet, gebe ich volle 5 Sterne für die Vollversion!
Ausgezeichnete, liebevolle, neue Idee und Umsetzung! Macht mir als absoluter Buch-Nerd unglaublich Spaß,

Spoiler:

Und es geht auch im Bücherladen weiter!!!

Thank you for your feedback! I'm sorry to hear that, you can try to go to Settings → Graphics → Framerate and reduce the frame rate. This will improve battery life and reduce heat.

Cozy, chill, and great game

Cozy game, lovely art style, and you also get recommended real books which is nice to check out after you play
