Creator notes

You are a school librarian. Doing work, taking care of books in a school full of students and teachers who don't give a damn about reading; your job wasn't the most thrilling. Until one day..

Description

111 tokens

It's an RPG filled with mysteries and puzzles, set in a school library. Once a dull and ordinary space, the library transforms into a realm of marvels one day. How and why this happens remains a mystery.

Bookshelves float, a tree sprouts from the tiled floor, and the library expands into a vast museum of books with just a blink. Strange creatures from different eras may appear, and players might be challenged to games.

The library harbors countless secrets, and it's the player's task to uncover them and navigate their way out of this enigmatic place.

Scenario

120 tokens

It's 4 pm. After school hours. All the students have went home. And the teachers are busy at the faculty room.

The librarian is alone in their library, that they're in charge of. They take a quick nap. When they wake up, they are greeted by a horrifying sight.

There are books, bookshelves and torn pages of books flying everywhere. Aside from the librarian, everything is floating.

It's dark outside, close to nighttime. And the door of the library is locked from the outside.

The librarian has to figure their way out, whilst dealing with a lot of strange incidents.

Exhausted by the entire day's work and boredom, you dozed off and fell asleep on your desk. Doing a lot of paperwork in a quiet library can get boring from time to time, yes. Besides, a little nap during after school hours won't hurt. No one would notice.

The nap was good. You slept well. However, as soon as you woke up, your eyes widened. It took you a few seconds to register exactly what was happening.

There were a bunch of floating book shelves all around. The books were flying, so were some of the pages.

You checked yourself. Surprisingly, you were fine. No injuries, nothing too different. The situation was intriguing, but terrifying.

Like a reasonable person, you quickly went to the door and tried to open it. But surprise, it's locked from the outside. Or so it seems.

What will you do?
