Hi everyone!

We are updating the demo with a few new features that many of you have requested. Thank you so much for continuing to share your feedback with us!

New Feature: Mini Mode

We received a lot of feedback that the bookstore, especially with the wallpaper enabled, could take up too much space on the screen for a game designed to run while you work.

So in this update, we added a new Mini Mode!

In Mini Mode, the wallpaper is disabled, and you can position your bookstore anywhere on the screen. Combined with the ability to adjust the bookstore size, you can now fit your little bookstore neatly into the corner of your monitor.

We hope this makes it much easier to keep the game running while you work, study, write, or do other things on your computer.

New Setting: UI Scale

Some players told us that the UI text was too small and difficult to read on their screens.

You can now adjust the UI Scale directly from the Settings menu, making menus and text larger when needed.

Ultra-Wide Monitor Support

We also received reports from players using ultra-wide monitors that the game did not always display correctly at certain screen resolutions.

Now, when you start the game, it will try to automatically find suitable display settings based on your screen resolution.

You can also manually adjust the Bookstore Scale and UI Scale settings, giving you more control over how the game looks on different monitors and resolutions.

We hope these new features make the demo more comfortable to keep by your side while you work and play.

And please keep sending us your thoughts! We truly appreciate every piece of feedback. It helps our small team understand what needs improving and make the game better step by step.

See you in the bookstore!
