About
Welcome, Novice, to Holy Island, home to the greatest monastic library of the Dark Ages! You are tasked with running this revered place of learning, and completing our Legendary Collection...
Every morning new books are delivered, each bearing a distinct symbol upon their cover. Remember them well! Then place them upon shelves according to thine own design.
Cometh the night, you must deliver the Scribes their chosen tomes. Recall where thy books are placed, for this is a test of thine memory!
The Abbot shall reward thy toils with Blessings. Spend them on Perkes to Level Up thy Strength, Speed and Carpentry skill. Or expand the Collection by raising new and lofty shelves or unlocking new chambers.
After dark, vermin, spirits and all manner of beasts shall assail thy Collection. Take up thy dagger, crossbow or holy cross to preserve thy labours. Then use the quill to restore any damaged books. Note that thou can reduce or disable thy foes if a more chilled experience is desired.
Immerse thyself in a host of systems-based emergent gameplay, including simulated flame and combustion, water dousing by pail, the chaotic physics of tumbling and thrown books, a day and night cycle, ballistic weapons and melee combat.

This is a fun, laid-back organizing game, and being able to play with friends is wonderful.
The perfect relaxing game to play with friends. Organizing leads to many discussions about where books are. The extra mobs and issues that arise lead to fun immersive set pieces. I can't wait to see what else is hiding behind doors and to have more discussions about what books belong where. A FLAG BELONGS ON A SHIP!
Fantastically cozy gameplay loop with me and a friend! If you liked Cat Mail Co., this one has that vibe but with combat

Great game, highly reccomend. I've gotten into many interesting and questionable situations due to the actions of me and my companions :D
i Took the Book
Sehr gutes Spiel. Für Chaos und Unordnung sorgen die Mitspieler.
I bought this game five times and all I got was poltergeists and pain (of my own making from maxxing the difficulty). 10/10
Book
I haven't played a huge amount, but I've enjoyed my limited time so far. Whilst the premise is very simple and the game seems really easy in the first few days it does ramp up. I learnt that being lazy and storing all your books in a pile on the floor is no use when a play of rats descends on the monastary! It's playable in single player, but I found it worked best with two of us - one person (the organised one!) dealing with where the books should go and the other fetching books and dealing with whatever monster or fire appeared. It's very much the sort of the game where you find yourself going 'oh I'll do just one more day' and despite me saying 'we'll just try it' we ended up playing for an hour and a half. The only thing I will say it that I'm not a huge fan of the pixelated art. It's ok and I still enjoy the game, but personally I'd prefer a high res style. It does mean that you can run it on a lower spec PC, but I'd like to see higher detail and nice looking fire. Disclaimer - I got the game free as I know the dev, however I don't like him enough to arbitrarily give it a good review!
Love it so far, was waiting a long time for it an I am not disappointed!
