About the Game

Disclaimer: In Development

The Magic Bookstore is still being developed. The game description reflects the game in its current state and our goals for the final release. 

Game Overview

The Magic Bookstore is a cozy, wholesome game about running the bookstore inherited from your Grandma. As the new witch of Lindow, you now must fulfill your responsibilities of supplying the townsfolk with books, potions, and more! But Lindow isn't exactly the same as you remember from your childhood - it seems like the magic is draining from the village, and has been for a while.

Learn magic!

As you learn more about the townsfolk and the area, you’ll unlock more potions and spell to experiment with. Use your new magic to make running your business easier or protect yourself during late-night walks in the forest.

Brew potions!

Granny may not have been much of a cook, but she was the best (only) potion master in town. A town of mythical beings needs a steady supply of potions to keep the peace, and it’s up to Willow to answer that call. It’ll take some practice, but you’ll be as good as Granny in no time.

Decorate your bookstore!

Use satisfying spells to shelve books, move and change the furniture to your liking, and keep things interesting for your loyal customers.

Befriend interesting townsfolk!

Vampires, Werewolves, and Fairies! Oh my! Lindow is a welcoming place for all fantastical creatures, but that doesn’t mean they all get along. Navigate new friendships, changing power dynamics, and potential romance as you meet the residents and make Lindow your home.
