Cozy games are spoiling me lately because there is now not just one, but a second little management game combining my two loves: books and little shop simulators. There may be nothing cozy about working retail in real life, but Book Bound boils the task of slinging paperbacks down to a pleasant little sim, with a demo that you can play right now.
Book Bound begins with taking over an empty shop by setting up a register, some shelves, and stocking them with a few books to attract customers. When you open the shop, passersby will wander in and peruse the selection, and apparently they appreciate thoroughness and organization. You get bonuses when you've stocked shelves dedicated to a single genre—Fantasy and Romance so far in the demo. You'll quickly make cash change for their purchases and then end the day by buying new furniture to decorate with and stocking the shelves with new books.
