An indie 2.5D simulator by a German studio neoludic games, in which we run a mobile bookshop. Tiny Bookshop lets us leave all troubles behind, selling used books in a charming seaside town.
Tiny Bookshop is a 2.5D bookshop simulator developed and published by an indie German studio neoludic games. It received the Most Charming Game award and two nominations during 2022's Indie Cup event.
The game is set in a charming seaside town, where we open a small bookshop. We must manage our business, acquire books of different genres and establish contact with Bookstonbury's residents, slowly becoming part of their community.
Tiny Bookshop largely focuses on bookstore management. Our shop is small and mobile, selling used books. It doesn't have a fixed location, therefore it's up to us where it will be moved. We also decide how to arrange the books on the shelves and how to decorate its interior. Decorations can be found by visiting various locations.
Each resident of the city has their individual taste and preferences. To satisfy as many readers as possible and expand our circle of regular customers, we must stock our bookshop with books of different genres. Players can interact with the townspeople, make friends, help them with their problems and discover their backstories.
The game's stylized visuals make use of the isometric perspective, making them seem three-dimensional. The color palette is subdued, yet appealing.

Game Ratings for Tiny Bookshop Video Game.
GameSpew: 7 / 10 by Kim Snaith
Beautiful and charming, Tiny Bookshop is a game for literature lovers, tasking you with selling and recommending books to the residents of the fictional town of Bookstonbury. Its charm wears thin rather quickly though, and a lack of variety and depth will likely see you getting bored in a matter of hours.
ComicBook.com: 4.5 / 5 by Amanda Oaks
The story, like the gameplay, isn’t quick or overly complicated. But if you were hoping for a cozy bookish game that truly delves into the literary world, Tiny Bookshop is going to deliver.
CGMagazine: 9 / 10 by Chris De Hoog
Tiny Bookshop deftly blends slice-of-life elements, business sims, and word puzzles into a perfect game to chill with after a long day.
