About this game

Description

Supplied by the Steam store

Tidy up the library

All 6,655 books are spilled across the floor. Your gnomes shelve it away, and the library's slowly returning to beauty.

Your readers are the mess

6 unlockable types of customers visit your library and pay for the privilege of pulling your hard-shelved books back onto the floor. Income and mess have the same source: your customers. So the master lever is the door sign : flip it to CLOSED and the gnomes tidy in blessed peace while the till sits silent; flip it to OPEN and the gold flows while the mess creeps back.

You manage, they work.

No manual shelving. You hire, upgrade, unlock wings and flip the sign; the fun is watching a dozen red-hatted gnomes waddle, haul teetering stacks and bow to pick up one more book. Want something to do? Snatch tip coins before they fade, pep-talk a gnome into a sprint, usher a dawdling reader out. Or touch nothing and let the library breathe.

What's in the box

> 200 upgrades

15 shelf wings , chained shut until you buy their chains off

29 achievements and a finale for the last book leaving the floor

A full run in roughly 1–3 hours — save and continue any time
