About the Game

Unshelved is an up to 4-player co-op Work-Life Horror Sim set in a creepy, cursed library. Team up with your friends to manage the library and survive the nightmares that haunt its halls when darkness falls!




WELCOME! We're happy to have you as our newest Library Attendant! The last one, well, let's just say they didn't make the cut, but we're sure you'll find your place on our metaphoric shelf here at the Silent Library!

During the day, you'll keep the library in order. Handling book requests from visitors, sorting books and ensuring that everything is running smoothly to earn a decent wage. Ensure that books are in good condition by repairing any damages before sorting them into their respective genres.

When night falls, your work isn't over. Flashlight in hand, you must reshelve enough of the books that have been returned. If you miss the book return quota for the night, we have no choice but to terminate your employment. But tread carefully... getting lost in the library at night is also a good way to get fired!

Team up with up to 3 of your friends to manage and survive the Silent Library. Cooperation and communication are essential to survival. Work together, use teamwork and coordinate to complete your task in returning all the books before closing time!

Hear your co-workers shriek in terror as they fumble through their nightly duties. Stick together while exploring the hallways or use a Walkie-Talkie to stay in touch while creeping through the corridors alone.

Find, collect and unlock cosmetics to customise your Librarian and show off your cool dance moves! With over 50 different cosmetics and emotes to collect.

Approve book requests, sort returns, repair books, and handle special requests to earn credit to spend at the Library Store or on Perk Pops to improve your Librarian's abilities!

The library isn’t just a place of knowledge... It’s a labyrinth filled with dark secrets and terrifying entities. Discover the mystery behind the library’s curse… if you can survive long enough to do so.

Can you keep the library running and survive the night shift?
