Haunted book sorting simulator Something is Wrong with the Library announced for PC
Shelve hundreds of books in a haunted library.
Publisher Frosty Pop, and publisher and developer Strange Scaffold have announced Something is Wrong with the Library, a haunted book sorting simulator coming to PC via Steam this fall.
“If you’ve ever been in a library at night, you’ll know that it feels unexpectedly warm and full of possibility—until you hear a single sound you don’t recognize, and realize you’re surrounded by towering shadows,” said Strange Scaffold studio head Xalavier Nelson Jr. in a press release. “As a former librarian, I truly hope that, despite the objectively messed up things they’re going to witness, everyone who plays the game falls in love with their local library a little more.”
Here is an overview of the game, via Strange Scaffold:
About
Shelve hundreds of real books in a library haunted by blood and meat. A spooky narrative organizing simulator by the studio behind I Am Your Beast and Clickolding.
Alex Dieter, billionaire king of the Fortune 500, has single-handedly revitalized your small mountain town. He installed fiber internet. He paid for new landscaping. He’s established a host of initiatives to make Sweet Elm a curated hub of technological innovation and small-town comfort. And, to cleanse the city, he’s been killing various homeless people and stuffing them in the walls of the local library.
Now, The Alex Dieter Public Library and Center for Reflection is haunted. Its shelves are in disarray, books thrown to the floor by supernatural forces and long-departed patrons. With the help of its former administrator, Phillip Shed, you will clean and organize the library in one tense night, unraveling the story of complicity at its heart and bringing it peace—one shelf at a time.
