Idle Bookstore is Out Now — 10% Launch Discount!

Hi, writers!

Idle Bookstore is officially out now, with a 10% launch discount!

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way. Your feedback during development helped shape the game into what it is today, and we truly couldn’t have done it without you.

A Quick Note for Mac and Linux Players

Before purchasing, we want to be transparent about the current platform support:

Mac Users
We’ve added basic support for macOS, but as a small indie team, we don’t have enough hardware to test the game across a wide range of Mac models and configurations.

Because of this, you may encounter issues depending on your device. If you’d prefer a more stable experience, we recommend waiting until Mac support is more thoroughly tested. If you’re happy to help us test and report issues, though, you’re very welcome to give it a try!

Linux Users
Idle Bookstore currently does not support Linux, and we don’t have plans to add Linux support in the near future.

For that reason, we do not recommend purchasing the game if you mainly play on Linux.

What’s New Since the Demo?

If you played the demo, here are some of the new features waiting for you in the full game:

  1. Hire Marketing Staff — Increase your bookstore’s popularity and help sell books online.

  2. Hire Writers — Let staff help write books and add special features to them.

  3. Take Care of Pets — Adopt and look after your little companions.

  4. Two New Bookstores — Unlock, own, decorate, and manage new stores.

  5. More Publishing Options — More ways to publish and sell your books.

  6. Bookshelf — Organize your collection and show your books to friends.

  7. New Skins — More ways to customize your character.

  8. The Mobel Award — Exceptional books may receive a special award.

  9. New Music Tracks and Wallpapers — More options to personalize your desktop experience.

What’s Coming Next?

In the next few days, we’ll be releasing a small content update with more Legendary Skin sets.

And this won’t be the end of Idle Bookstore. We plan to keep adding new content over time, including new bookstores, pets, skins, and more.

Thank you again for playing, supporting us, sharing feedback, and helping our little bookstore grow.

We hope you enjoy writing your next book. ❤️
