Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 2.71/day in the week to Sep 12 → 4.86/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,419 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

If you like books and like shop simulator games, this is the game for you. The shop locations are great, the book names are clever, and you get to have cats!
Addictive little game. Well thought out, great design. I love all the different shop locations. Maybe have dogs too?

This is probably one of the most relaxing sims that I have ever played I love how you can customize your shop to how you like it and the graphics are so clean and pretty best 9/10
大きな店にするというよりは小中規模のお店をいくつか持つ感じ。 店舗によって全く違う雰囲気にレイアウトするのが楽しみのひとつでもあるかなと。 ただ、NPCに近づくとガン見してくるのが恐怖なのと、PM5時になると街灯が点く影響かPM6時までめっちゃカクカクするのが残念なところ。
Have you ever wanted to run a Barnes and Noble with your friends? Are you happy watching people buy books in bulk to the point your local Costco is getting jealous? Then boy do I got the game for you! Bookshop Simulator is a charming retail simulator that lets you sell books, pastries and cool bookmarks. If you've played any other retail simulator game, you aren't going to be surprised by this title's mechanics. Buy bulk boxes of books, put books on shelf, sell books, order more bulk boxes of books. Rinse and repeat. You wont find the wheel reinvented in this game, you're just focusing on the theme of running a book shop. There's a good chunk of items to make your book store look good, and there's 4 different book shops you can run as of launch. Its overall not a terrible game, but i have some teeny tiny critiques i have regarding the game The NPC's buying books move like barbie dolls. They have no joints and their expressions are no better and sometimes creeped me out. It's also weird when an NPC drops 50 books for purchase. Nobody in their right mind grabs that many books but here you have Jane Barbie snatching up 50 generic copies of Catcher in the Rye. Also there NEEDS to be some way to skip the used books box opening animation. Spending 10 seconds opening a gacha box for a chance at a rare book is a MASSIVE pain in all scenarios. I don't need to see my books flying around like they are possessed. Also the colors available for painting are just...way too bright. It hurt my eyes to paint my stores anything beyond black or dark brown, which is a damn shame. I thoroughly enjoyed playing this game with my partner. It's a nice cozy experience with almost zero pressure. Would I buy this at full price? nah. You can't go wrong with this game on discount though. It's a solid 6.8 / 10 for me. points deducted for the... creepy NPC's...
A very enjoyable and relaxing time is to be found with Bookshop Simulator. I am looking forward to see what new ideas will be released downwind.
This has horrible primary colours, way too few furniture choices, very clunky placement options. Good and fun book assportment. But the worst is that it has recently begun to crash every few minutes. I mean less than 10 minutes - it crashes to stop responding.
Really love this game but its glitches and crashes a lot!
игра не плохая но очень не удобная я бы хотел чтобы добавили типа какого то окошка которое появлялось пр наведении на полку с книгами, в которой была бы вся инфа про эту книгу. это было бы очень удобно или добавить какую тофункцию как в supermarket toogether там типа можно было взять планшет подойти к полке и можно купить сразу же раскупленные продукты. было бы очень удобно если бы это встроили в игру и какую то функцию у сотрудников которые работают с переносом коробок с книгами на полки. чтобы они тоже могли покупать книги которых уже нет.
