Description

Bookshop Simulator immerses the player in the management of a single retail outlet. The main goal is to acquire a selection of books, comics, and board games and stock them on shelves for sale. Initially, players will work the cash register to generate income, which is reinvested directly into the business. Profits are used to improve the store: replacing walls and floors, adding decorations to create themed sections or cozy nooks. As the business grows, the player can hire staff to stock merchandise and handle customer payments, allowing the owner to focus on strategic development. This allows for a deeper dive into purchasing unique publications and optimizing the retail space to increase profits.

Business isn't limited to a single location: Bookshop Simulator gameplay involves opening new branches around the world. Revenue from existing stores is used to launch new ones, while the player travels between them, overseeing management and optimizing revenue. A unique development system involves searching for rare mythical tomes among boxes of used editions. These unique items grant special abilities that improve both the establishment's capabilities and its financial performance. To complete the atmosphere, the game allows you to acquire a companion cat, who requires food and a bed to maintain activity and a good mood. Each new region offers unique goods and challenges, making chain development more diverse.

Installation Guide

Step-by-step setup process for RUNE

  1. Mount the .iso file in a virtual drive — on Windows 10/11 double-clicking the image is enough.

  2. Run the installer from the disc and install the game — the release is already cracked, so no manual file copying is required.

  3. Use the desktop shortcut created by the installer to start the game.

  4. If the game does not launch, copy the contents of the RUNE folder on the disc into the installed game folder and try again.

Update 1.1

Build 25272802

Hey everyone!

Update 1.1 is now live! This update brings a huge expansion to the Steam Workshop capabilities, new legendary books, new bookcases, and more!

Workshop Expansion:

The workshop tool has been updated to allow the community to create new types of items! This expands the existing framework and now allows the following items to be created and uploaded:

  • Manga

  • Board Games

  • Magazines

  • Candy (3 different types)

  • Bookmarks

  • Comics

Tagging and filtering:

The tool has also been updated to automatically tag items with their respective item types and genres where applicable to help users filter to what they're interested in. Unfortunately, existing workshop items will not be automatically updated unless updated through the tool so old items will not have their tags applied until updated.

For those who have not checked out the workshop yet, you can check it out over here:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/3467040/workshop/

You guys have put up over 1300 workshop items so far! We can't wait to see what you guys put up now that more item types are available!

New Legendaries and Mythicals:

A new used book box is now available in The Cotswolds location, bringing several new legendary books with it. We've also shifted a couple of existing legendaries to The Cotswolds used book box as well.

New Bookshelves:

Four new variants of the standard bookshelf have arrived! This should provide some additional customization options for your stores.
These variants have also been applied to the corner bookshelf as well so you are free to create nooks with these new variants.

In addition to the regular bookshelf variants, we've also brought the much requested corner variation for the genre specific bookcases!

Shady Dealer:

For those struggling with not having enough book licenses for all of those workshop books you've downloaded, you may be able to find an NPC to provide you with a solution: The Shady Dealer. He is located in the Paris location near your shop once you reach level 50. Each day he appears, he may offer up to 3 additional book licenses for an increasing price.

Challenge Mode:

A new game mode is now available: Challenge mode! This is a game mode for those that want a bit more of a challenge. Challenge mode will reduce the amount of the same items customers pick up, the overall number of customers each day, and decrease customers' tolerance for high markup prices. New games will prompt which mode you would like to start on. Existing games can choose their game mode in the settings menu.

Avatar Customization:

The multiplayer avatar creator has been updated to allow far more customization of your characters.

Fixes/QoL:

As usual, this update brings fixes and QoL improvements. A full changelog can be found below.
