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.

👍 **Consigliato** Dopo 56,5 ore posso dire che *Bookshop Simulator* è uno di quei gestionali semplici da capire, rilassanti da giocare e capaci di tenerti impegnato molto più di quanto inizialmente ti aspetti. La gestione della libreria è immediata e intuitiva: si capisce velocemente come organizzare il negozio, gestire la merce e far crescere progressivamente l'attività. Le meccaniche non cercano inutilmente di essere complicate e, secondo me, è proprio uno dei punti di forza del gioco. Mi è piaciuta soprattutto la progressione economica. I guadagni crescono in maniera abbastanza equilibrata rispetto al costo delle espansioni e dei miglioramenti, quindi si ha quasi sempre qualcosa verso cui puntare senza avere né la sensazione che venga regalato tutto troppo facilmente né quella di dover passare ore a ripetere le stesse azioni soltanto per permettersi il passo successivo. Molto buona anche la personalizzazione: poter organizzare e arredare la propria libreria permette di darle progressivamente un'identità personale invece di limitarsi semplicemente a sbloccare stanze e scaffali. La parte che svilupperei maggiormente è invece quella dei dipendenti. Funzionano, ma potrebbero diventare una componente gestionale molto più interessante introducendo ulteriori ruoli e mansioni. Mi piacerebbe, ad esempio, poter assegnare un dipendente alla distribuzione dei volantini oppure al servizio di consultazione e consiglio dei libri per i clienti, lasciando al giocatore la possibilità di organizzare una vera squadra con compiti differenti. Nel complesso rimane comunque un gestionale molto piacevole, con meccaniche semplici e intuitive, una buona progressione e parecchia libertà nella costruzione della propria libreria. Dopo oltre 50 ore continuo a divertirmi a gestirla e farla crescere, e per un gioco di questo genere penso sia probabilmente il complimento migliore che gli si possa fare. **Consigliato, soprattutto a chi cerca un gestionale tranquillo e accessibile senza rinunciare alla sensazione di progressione.**

Es macht sehr viel Spaß trotz der schlechten Übersetzung an manchen Stellen, was es aber wiederum unterhaltsam und dennoch verständlich macht.
As a certified ADHD girlie this game is my new addiction. There are few things I can complain about but after 5 o'clock it lags horribly for that one hour every single time! I don't know if it's because I'm on a steam deck but that's my only major complaint. I hope they add more shops and books in the future!
lo trovo super rilassante ..se ti piacciono i libri e leggere ti divertirai tantissimo :)
would highly recommend
Very relaxing and easy to complete. Its fairly surface level, which can be a bonus in some instances if you don't want to intricately design every detail like in some sim games. For me its let down by the storage system, by the time you have a significant number of licenses, you are ordering books constantly and doing basically nothing else, even with employees. Just ordering and sorting. A few more features would be good, but its still solid
Certainly not terrible, but life is too short to deal with a line at a checkout or stack shelves which is where this simulator begins. For me it lacks gameplay and surprises and feels like a real job - so perhaps it's a good simulator but a poor game. There are many better simulators out there, visually, conceptually and for gameplay.
wife plays this alot but its been crashing lot after about an hour of play
Super fun to run a bookshop with your friends. A fun, chill, cozy game that has lots to do and lots of achievements to get! Love it!
