What is Bookstore Incremental?

This single-player, 2D management game starts with one slow printer and a tiny shelf. You sell books, hire workers, and reinvest earnings while dealing with thieves, customer messes, checkout queues, and weather that affects the store. A playthrough lasts about five to six hours, with optional New Game Plus runs that add a permanent income bonus after each completion.
