Steam new free download is perfect if you love Stardew Valley

If you love the cosy sim Stardew Valley, then you’ll want to download and try this charming Steam game for free.

Stardew Valley is a perfect example of an indie darling and since its inception in 2016, the talent that is Eric Barone (otherwise known as ConcernedApe) has vastly improved the game with a wealth of free content. Now, fans are eagerly awaiting his next game, Haunted Chocolatier.

However, if you are after a game with Stardew Valley vibes but perhaps with something a little different on offer too, then look no further than this other indie delight developed by Bit66, Book Bound for which you can download its free playable demo via Steam right now.

“Book Bound is a cosy bookshop simulation game. Use a range of items to decorate your shop and make it truly yours. Pick the books you would like to sell. Help customers find the books they want most. Sell books in different genres,” reads the description of the game.

In Book Bound, you’ll be able to customise your very own bookshop inspired by a variety of themes including sci-fi, non-fiction, fantasy, romance and thriller. You will also be able to expand your business, bring in new stock to sell, and even help customers choose the perfect novel.

Judging by its gameplay trailer, Book Bound looks every bit as cosy as the game's description details and it looks like it could be the perfect game for at least one member of the GAMINGbible team.

Its system requirements are also as friendly as the customers that visit your bookshop (hopefully), demanding only an Intel core i5, 1.5 GHz and above, 2GB of RAM and just 500MB of storage.

At the time of writing, Book Bound does not have a release date but be sure to wishlist it on Steam to be notified of its launch and in the meantime, you can download and play its free demo.
