Initial Thoughts:

-"Okay, some of these book titles are absolutely hilarious."
-"The real question is Magic or no magic?"
-"Okay, I would actually read some of these books."

Beginner Player Friendly?

I would argue this game is very beginner player friendly. All of the controls are basic and easy to understand and the games UI will tell you what buttons you need to click in order to understand how to use your abilities. There is a small tutorial at the beginning of the game as well that will help push you into the right direction.

Game Play:

In this game your main objective is to.... organize books! I know exciting right? No seriously. I love having the ability to just sit at my desk and organize books into shelves. You have to organize everything by genre, and there are some interesting genres. Upgrade your magical abilities in order to help you progress the game even faster, orrrr, you can use none of your abilities and take your time slow and steady to organize every bookshelf the way you want it. There are different game modes for this game, and you can either play it to have a nice cozy gaming session or a hardcore book organizing rampage.

Graphics:

The graphics are semi-realistic and are very friendly on the eyes. Everything reminds me of what a small little cottage would look like. There isn't anything outside the windows that I could see of, however the room itself has a lot of details that stand out and make it interesting to explore and enjoy. As you organize books you start to uncover the enviorment around you and even more details begin to arise. I believe this game wouldn't run to well on lower end gaming systems.

Community:

So far this game is quite a bit newer and hasn't accumulated a massive community, however, I have seen a lot of streamers and tiktokers play this game and they all seem to be failry friendly and have been enjoying themselves!

How long can you play?

I so far have around 7 hours of playtime in this game, I am currently not useing any magical abilities and if I do its very minimal. I have not even completed one entire book shelf yet. I am not even half way through this game!

My Opinion:

In my opinion this game is genuinely very fun and I have been really enjoying it. I am a book lover! I think if you enjoy cozy organizing games you should give this game a try.
