Book Bound is a charming new simulation game that allows players to manage their own little bookshop. In this cozy experience, players start with an empty shop, stocking it with a selection of books, catering to the tastes of customers who wander in.

Gameplay Overview

The game encourages players to maintain an organized shop to please customers. For instance, stocking books by genre—like Fantasy and Romance—will earn bonuses.

Players will also deal with the occasional messy customer who might leave books on the ground or ask about a title without noticing it’s right in front of them, capturing the charmingly frustrating reality of retail.

Unique Features

Unlike similar games that use real book titles, Book Bound features fictional titles like The Dark Queen’s Secret and Hot Ring, offering a whimsical touch to the gameplay.

The game’s developer, Bit66, hopes to enrich the player’s experience by including decorative elements, additional genres, and more features in future updates. Players can look forward to participating in the Steam Next Fest in February 2025 and can wish for the game on Steam right now.
