Tiny Book Shop - PS5

Leave everything behind and open a second-hand bookshop by the sea in Tiny Book Shop - PS5, a cosy narrative management game. Stock your shelves, set up in scenic locations and get to know the people of Bookstonbury-by-the-Sea. Alongside running your shop, you can personalise its appearance, recommend books to customers and explore the town’s history and hidden corners.

This product includes a digital soundtrack, digital artbook and a bookmark.

Build your own seaside bookshop

Stock your Tiny Bookshop with different books and items, choosing a range of genres to suit the locals’ reading habits. Bookselling means understanding both your stock and the people browsing it: each place around town attracts a slightly different crowd, so getting to know your audience is part of running the shop.

Set up in scenic locations and watch customers trickle in. As you learn what different readers enjoy, you can tailor your selection to the people who visit and develop your skills as a bookseller.

Find the right book for each reader

Help customers discover a book they will love by matching the right title to the right person. You can also try to broaden their literary horizons, encouraging them to explore something beyond their usual tastes. Personal recommendations bring the people visiting your shop into the heart of the bookselling experience.

Decorate with items you collect

Give your bookshop a style of its own using collected items. Fill it with plants or create a spooky, candle-lit atmosphere: the choice of decoration lets you shape the shop around your preferences.

These items are more than visual touches. Every item has an effect on your customers, and items can introduce new mechanics, linking the way you decorate with the way your bookshop works.

Get to know Bookstonbury-by-the-Sea

Befriend Bookstonbury’s quirky cast of characters and help each other out as you become familiar with the town. The narrative side of the game sits alongside the everyday business of stocking shelves and serving readers.

Explore scenic places and learn the ins and outs of the seaside community. Its long history raises questions to investigate: what happened at Bookston Burgh, and who really was St. Bookston?

Search the town’s nooks and crannies to discover secrets, collect items and grow your stamp collection. Exploring Bookstonbury offers more to uncover beyond your next bookselling location.
