About the Game

【Synopsis】

A mischievous fairy has left the once-majestic library in utter chaos. The principal’s word is law: "You are forbidden from leaving until all 3,072 books are returned to their rightful places!" In the silent, mystical archive, your long battle against the mountain of books begins.

【Gameplay: Library Organization Simulator】This is a first-person organization simulator set in a magical library

  • Categorization: From Destructive Magic and The Travels of Otherworld to Romance Novels—use titles and cover designs as clues to transport a massive collection to the correct sections.

  • Massive Volume: With 3,072 books to organize, the task may seem overwhelming at first. However, as you stack each book, you will unlock magical abilities that drastically boost your efficiency.

【Key Features】

  • Visual Satisfaction: There is a special joy in seeing the books that once cluttered the floor return to the shelves, slowly revealing the hidden floor beneath. As chaos transforms into perfect order, you’ll experience an unparalleled sense of satisfaction.

  • Strategic Efficiency: How will you combine your unlocked abilities? What order will you tackle the mess? The strategic fun lies in your decision-making, as your tactics can lead to a dramatic increase in workflow.

  • Immersive Atmosphere: The library’s ambient sound and BGM change dynamically; as shelves fill up, the acoustic resonance grows stronger, drawing you deeper into the world.

  • The Principal’s Strict Evaluation: Your precision is being monitored. The Principal’s evaluation shifts in real-time based on how many rows are "correctly shelved" according to the rules. Accuracy and speed are the keys to a perfect score—and your escape.

【Efficiency via Magical Abilities】 As you progress, you can unlock powerful magical abilities to aid your work

  • Assemble: A spell that summons other volumes of the same series directly to your hands.

  • Insight: Highlights other volumes of the same series, making them easy to spot even in a disorganized pile.

  • Auto-Shelving: A spell that instantly places the books in your hands onto the shelves in perfect order.
