Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
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): 7.57/day in the week to Aug 7 → 9.86/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 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.

谁不想开一家属于自己的移动书店，非常休闲有带入感的游戏，可以体验当一回书店店长，但是推荐书籍方面感觉还是有点奇怪，可能是官方翻译问题
Nice game for relaxing. The book recommendation minigame is fun, and also gave me some inspiration for books to read.
every bit as cozy as i hoped it would be, the mechanics are really engaging and the pacing is quite nice. I found the literary challenges incredibly difficult, and the patterns of people's buying habits in the different locations were important to keep track of, I love a game that makes me take notes! The journal has some of the stats, but I mean a spreadsheet, and those missed opportunities of a book not found being tracked. Cons: I wish there were more articles from the newsletter. I find the storage limited, and while that's a big part of the challenge, balancing the genres, I am unable to meet the demand and somehow I am unable to save up much money despite making so many sales. Also I wish that I had more control of the books I stock the shelves with, though I was in love with the click drag at first I would love to be able to control the specific books stocked to make a good variety pack.

This game definitely scratches the good itch in my brain! Lovely graphics, adorable storyline, and it is SO satisfying when I make a perfect recommendation. I love seeing books that I've read irl!
Textbook cozy game! I liked it more than I thought I would.
cute
I honestly don't know if I just played the game wrong but I was confused the whole time.. Still cute though. Maybe i'll give it another chance next time. Art style is what drew me in
Absolutely obsessed with this fun and simple game. I love making recommendations on real life books to the characters and helping to solve cute cases around town. This game hits everything I would love to do but know it wouldn't work out as well in reality. Perfect game. No notes!
輕鬆可愛的經營遊戲，遊戲的主要機制很單純，進書、賣書、為你的客人們推薦書。 雖然過程中仍能發現文本有些小失誤，但這個遊戲的繁中在地化很用心，有刻意將部分書目調整為臺灣人較為熟悉的作品，諧音梗和語氣也很有臺灣味，讓人很驚喜。但可能也正是因為書目經過調整，推薦系統在題材的判斷上偶爾不是那麼的準確。 [spoiler]《我所告訴你關於那座山的一切》明明就很大自然，吃我的推薦啦！！！[/spoiler] 中後期的作業感稍重，但因為事件和腳色對話都滿有趣的，所以還是努力一下跑完了全成就，喜歡！推薦！
Really like the progressing goals and the ability to ramp up my store with buffs given by decorations. Nice and chill game, well designed.
