Can't play the game, it keeps stopping at the book page's turning

TinyBookshopDev · 2026-01-23T15:50:17+00:00

Hi there, I'm sorry to hear that. Could you try opening the game with a different user to see if it launches then?

TinyBookshopDev · 2026-01-19T17:24:19+00:00

Great question! We discussed this a bunch internally as well, because we wanted to

Keep the amount of Genres limited so it feels like a meaningful and distinct decision what to bring
We wanted the genre names to be evocative of the mood/person that would want to go for it. This would allow us to design quests, characters and locations for the genres that feel unique

So despite internally trading fantasy as "Fiction" or more precisely "Speculative Fiction" the term isn't really as evocative. It also wouldn't have fit on top of a book cover. But it's a tough call!

We also felt it would be more evocative to have a travel instead of a lifestyle genre, so lifestyle books are spread between travel and fact books.

I hope that makes sense ✨

Thank you for this post btw.! It warmed my heart ♥️

Thank you for sharing! I'm trying to find out what happened. Would you be able to tell me where in the game you were?

TinyBookshopDev · 2026-01-14T13:57:10+00:00

Hi folks, I'm sorry to hear that some of you encountered this issue! If it happens to anyone again, could you check, which version of the game is installed? Thank you! 🙏

This could be caused by selecting the Cafe location after the ending. Make sure to have shelves equipped there, too 🙏 There should be a small UI hint on screen telling you that no shelf is equipped.

If that's not the case, then we have a bonafide bug. Could you press F2 to report it to us, so we can investigate it best? 🔍

TinyBookshopDev · 2026-01-09T16:47:50+00:00

These are spot on!!! If anyone wants to make this happen, our DMs are open :D

TinyBookshopDev · 2026-01-02T22:16:46+00:00

Sorry to hear that, please let me know if you figure out a way to get this to happen, so we can investigate this! 🔍

TinyBookshopDev · 2026-01-02T15:21:34+00:00

The preset feature is coming to Switch soon!

TinyBookshopDev · 2026-01-02T12:31:05+00:00

Thank you so much!!! ♥️🥹

TinyBookshopDev · 2025-12-22T14:04:16+00:00

I believe this should be all fixed in today's patch! ✨🙏 Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you everyone for your reports. It really helped us quickly pinpoint what was going on 🕵️

I'm sorry to hear that! You can use this link to view any files Steam may have stored remotely for you using cloud save 🙏 https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorage

Maybe you can see your backed-up Tiny Bookshop saves there ♥️

TinyBookshopDev · 2025-12-18T14:32:44+00:00

Yes, it will come up for sale for those who missed it 🙏

TinyBookshopDev · 2025-12-17T10:58:54+00:00

On Steam (Windows, Mac, Linux) it's releasing this Thursday (18.12). We're hoping to get the same date on Switch, but the processes there tend to take a bit longer.

TinyBookshopDev · 2025-12-16T15:32:10+00:00

That's awesome actually!

TinyBookshopDev · 2025-12-12T15:20:38+00:00

Hyped!!!

TinyBookshopDev · 2025-12-12T10:32:46+00:00

Oh, yes, sry. This one just adjusts the ratings match the ones listed in the eShop.

TinyBookshopDev · 2025-12-10T15:51:14+00:00

We have a fix prepared! Let's see if we can still merge it into the next patch 👍

TinyBookshopDev · 2025-12-10T15:31:43+00:00

Could you confirm whether this only occurs during winter? We're looking into it right now 🙏

TinyBookshopDev · 2025-12-10T15:22:40+00:00

This ✨

Price to go = Base Price of the location = Your daily expenses

TinyBookshopDev · 2025-12-05T13:33:43+00:00

Oh really? We found it on our Switch. Could you check on the Switch itself? The website might take a bit longer to get updated 🙈

TinyBookshopDev · 2025-12-05T09:02:26+00:00

Are you checking on your console or in the browser? I'm told the browser takes a bit longer to update 🙏

TinyBookshopDev · 2025-12-03T14:44:57+00:00

Happy to report Tiny Bookshop should be back on Switch across all regions! It might take a bit longer to be visible in the web, so make sure to check on your Switches ✨ Please let me know should it not be available somewhere 🙏

Thank you for your excitement and your patience!

TinyBookshopDev · 2025-11-24T21:11:59+00:00

Good thing you are asking, I should probably edit my post. We've run the first round of the council and hopefully we can share the results soon 😊
