Skystone Games and neoludic games invite players to live their dream bookish life by the sea


Skystone Games today is delighted to announce that Tiny Bookshop, the wholesome narrative management sim from indie studio neoludic, will officially launch on August 7, 2025, for PC, Mac, and Linux via Steam.

“Every book holds a story and every customer brings one in…”

Already beloved by cozy game fans and critics alike, Tiny Bookshop puts you behind the wheel of a traveling book trailer as you set up shop in a charming seaside town, meet quirky locals, and help them find their next favorite read. Customize your tiny store with rugs, posters, and fairy lights, and choose each day where to park and peddle your paperbacks — from the pier to the farmer’s market.

A Cozy Game About Books, Community, and Starting Fresh

Tiny Bookshop combines light management gameplay with slice-of-life storytelling. As the town of Bookstonbury-by-the-Sea slowly reveals its secrets, players will: 

  • Stock and Sell Books: Match customers to their dream reads using clever genre mechanics and a bit of intuition.
  • Choose Your Daily Spot: Tow your trailer to new locations each morning — beachside, markets, cafés, and more.
  • Decorate and Customize: Paint your shop, decorate with weather-reactive items, and boost business with cozy flair.
  • Solve Mysteries: From a mysterious poet to a haunted lighthouse, the side-quests you go on become part of the town’s unfolding story.
  • Build Relationships: Connect with bookish locals, learn their stories, and help shape their next chapter.
