Subscribing to Xbox Game Pass makes it practically impossible to ever run out of interesting games to play, but it's unfortunately easy to overlook small indie releases. April is a stacked Game Pass month with 18 games announced so far, but a relatively new cozy game has a chance to stand out.
Game Pass is a great place to find and try cozy games, and there's no shortage of them on the service. The genre is continually seeing new entrants, and when one really hits, it can become a time sink. Your new obession might have just arrived.
Neoludic Games' Tiny Bookshop isn't your usual life sim cozy game, but it's cozy nonetheless – and a real page turner of a game. You play the owner and proprietor of a mobile bookshop, which you tow behind your car to peddle your wares around town. Customers enter the store and divulge their interests and preferences, then it's your job to recommend a new book for them to read. Knowing a bit of literature may give you a leg up, since Tiny Bookshop features real works, but it's definitely not a requirement for enjoying the management sim.
Tiny Bookshop is a very relaxing...
