Aino’s bookshop in the game: walnut shelves full of books, a red-carpeted stair, a green armchair, readers at the counter and a café corner with a bread oven.

Grandma Aino’s bookshop has been closed for years. Now it’s yours.

Dust it off, fill the shelves and serve the readers who come back. A calm bookshop game with a story hidden in its corners.

Order, shelve, serve

Nothing in the game expires, and customers wait as long as you need them to.

  • Order books by the cartload

    Crime, poetry, cookbooks, maps. Unpack each cart onto the right shelf.

  • Serve at the counter

    Readers bring their finds to the till. Some ask you to wrap a gift.

  • Keep it tidy

    Sweep up after a busy day, or hire a cleaner to do it.

The counter panel in the game: four customers, each with the books they want, ready to sell or gift-wrap.

Readers come back

Twenty-four kinds of customers come through the door, each with something in mind.

  • Schoolkid“I saved my pocket money for this!”

  • Grandma“Something lovely for my grandchild, please.”

  • Student“Exam tomorrow… and I need something light to read!”

  • Busy Professional“Just enough time before my flight.”

  • Dog Owner“Rex and I are off to the fells tomorrow!”

  • Bookworm“Just finished the last page. I need a new world!”

  • Collector“I am looking for a very rare edition…”

  • Gentleman“A good book and a cup of coffee – that is happiness.”

  • Fortune Teller“The cards told me I would find something special here.”

Make every corner cozy

Every armchair, lamp and fern adds to the shop’s Coziness, and cozier shops draw more readers.

Open a café

An espresso machine, a bread oven, a tea corner and a smoothie bar. Readers add a coffee or a cinnamon bun to their books.

Floor by floor

Restore the dusty corners, then open the floors above, the street outside and the cellar below.

The street outside the shop at dusk: a green news kiosk, a fountain, benches and passers-by.

The candlelit cellar: stone walls, candelabras, a raven statue and a bubbling cauldron, with readers among the dark shelves.

Page wanders the floors and settles wherever it likes. Keep the food bowl full, feed the fish, and save a treat for the dogs that come in with their owners.

The first three are hidden on this page too. Look for a glint.
