It’s Book Publishers Day (January 16th) and I don’t need any more reason to write up a list of 3 cozy book games! If you want something a bit more interactive than reading a book and you’re not quite ready to publish something, then run a virtual store of your own from the list below!
We do our best not to highlight games that use Generative AI at any level of development or marketing. At the time of posting, these games have not reported or disclosed using Gen AI. Likewise, all articles are written and edited by humans… as evidenced by our occasional errors.
3 cozy book games

Shelf by Shelf: Bookstore Simulator
Shelf by Shelf: Bookstore Simulator is a simulation game where you run a bookstore and can arrange the books in the way that you want, whether that’s by genre or color. Express your style through decorating and help customers find the perfect book by fulfilling their requests.
In Your Books
In Your Books is a visual novel where you take over your grandmother’s bookshop after discovering that she has disappeared. Assist locals with finding books and solve puzzles surrounding a mysterious cabinet to uncover secrets about your grandma.


Bookshop Simulator
Bookshop Simulator is a simulation game where you run your own bookshop. Order books, stock shelves, earn revenue, and then use those earnings to further upgrade your store! Along the way, you can adopt a cat and collect rare books that yield powerful abilities! If you’re ready for a change of pace, open up more locations and travel between them!
