Hi everyone,

We’re very happy to share that the free demo for Idle Bookstore is now available! Idle Bookstore will also be part of the upcoming Steam Next Fest.

Idle Bookstore is designed to be a relaxing and fun multiplayer experience, so we recommend trying it with your friends if you can. You can write books together, sell each other’s books, and enjoy running a small bookstore side by side.

We truly want to make the best game we can for our players, and your feedback would mean a lot to us. After trying the demo, please feel free to share your thoughts, comments, or suggestions in the Steam Discussions, or join our Discord and chat with us directly.

At the moment, the demo is only available on PC and supports English and Simplified Chinese. We are planning to work on Mac support and more language options in the future.

Thank you so much for your support. We’re really excited to finally share the demo with you, and we hope you enjoy your time with Idle Bookstore!
