What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Corner Bookshop aims to enhance the game’s quality by incorporating player feedback and reflecting diverse ideas. Early Access provides a valuable opportunity to shape the game’s direction with the community’s input, uncovering creative suggestions and improvements we might not have considered.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Early Access is expected to last approximately 6 months to 1 year. However, the duration may be adjusted based on player feedback and development progress. Our priority is to deliver a polished experience, and the full release will be made when the game is ready to meet that standard.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes the following features:

-Core gameplay mechanics
-Key characters and initial interactions
-A few main quests and introductory areas

We plan to expand the game over time by adding new storylines, enhancing character interactions, and introducing additional regions. Future updates will focus on balancing gameplay, enriching the player's experience, and exploring new features inspired by community feedback and development progress.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version of Corner Bookshop is stable and allows players to experience the initial content. It includes key gameplay features such as Interactive Picture Books, Mini-Games Inspired by Stories, Conversations with Toto, and Quizzes. All features described in the "About This" section are already implemented. Future updates will focus on expanding content and refining the gameplay experience based on player feedback.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The game will be offered at a lower price during Early Access. After the full release, the price is expected to increase slightly to reflect the addition of new content and features. Players who join Early Access will enjoy the game at the initial price and receive all future updates at no extra cost.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan to collect player feedback and incorporate it into the game development through the following methods:

- Regular development updates posted on Steam Community and social media platforms
- Player polls and surveys to determine content priorities
- A bug report and suggestion system to reflect player input in the development process

The community is a valuable partner for us. We are committed to building a better game with your feedback.”
