A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Welcome to CornerBooks where we believe for every reader there is a perfect book, and for every book a perfect reader! 

You're a fanfic fanatic and want nothing more than to have a mutual discussion about your favorite fic with your best friend Diante, longtime fanfic hater. When you agree to work at Diante's family bookstore, they strike a deal with you: help enough customers find their perfect book and they will read the latest fic you can't stop raving about.
You may not enjoy the kind of stories sold at the shop, but if you put yourself into the customers' position, you're certain to succeed. It's all a matter of perspective, and you're determined to get Diante to see yours.

A short visual novel where you ask customers questions, choose the books you think they'll like best, and beg your friend to read your choice of fanfiction.

Features:

  • 10k+ words

i loved this so much. the customers & the book-choosing & most of all DIANTE! also i just want to say specifically that diante going from the standing sprite to then sprawling on the couch looks so good 💯

Thank you!! I am SO glad my partner was willing to sketch two Diante poses because I think the pose switch truly elevates the entire game. Plus, the world could always use more Diante, haha
