About the Game

Read between the lies in this first-person mystery puzzle game.

After every other library has been shut down, only one remains. You are assigned the role of its custodian, the last librarian.

Listen closely to patron's requests.

Use incomplete or sometimes ambiguous information to investigate the card catalogues and deduce the correct book.

Identify. Recommend. Ban. Burn.

Your predecessor has vanished.

Hidden messages, forbidden books and whispers of a rebellion hint the library holds the key to a dangerous truth.

Can you solve the web of secrets within the puzzle box of the last library?

The resistance needs your help if they are to gather the evidence needed to topple the regime.

When do the ends justify the means?

This is a timely narrative puzzle game about censorship, power, and the manipulation of truth.
