About Bookshop Simulator
Bookshop Simulator is about running and growing your own bookshop. You buy and sell inventory, run the cash register and use your profits to decorate and expand your stores, building from a small boutique into a retail empire.
Stock and staff
Place bookshelves and fill them with books, comics, board games and other items to sell. You can work the register yourself, then hire employees to handle cashier duties and restock items as your business grows.
Expand your shops
Open shops in new locations around the world, using income from established stores to help set up new ones. The Early Access launch includes locations in France and Japan. You can travel between shops to manage them and optimize their profits.
Customize your store
Use your profits to choose walls and floors, and decorate with rugs, plants, wall art and other items. You can create sections for your favorite genre or build cozy book nooks.
Rare books and cats
Boxes of used books may contain rare mythical books, which have abilities that improve your profits and capabilities. You can also adopt a cat to keep you and your customers company in the shop. Buy it food, a bed and other items to keep it active and happy.
