Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library!

This game requires a particular brand of autism. I happen to have this particular brand of autism. Completing a 22hr no magic run was cathartic. 10/10. No notes. Buy this game

I somehow overlooked the AI statement before purchasing and playing this and it is a shame, because there was absolutely no need to have the generated pictures in this, I literally had to look for them after reading the AI statement. They add nothing but for this one reason I know there will be a lot of people who won’t buy the game. Yet it is so wonderful otherwise. Simple premise - organize books on the shelves. That’s it. I can’t explain to you how satisfying it is, a friend of mine compared this to Powerwash Simulator and honestly it might be the same vibe. After a certain point you won’t have to look at the legend to see where the book goes, because now you know, now you are the LIBRARIAN. In all seriousness, I would love another game like this, even just a new room with fresh books, hopefully without generated pictures :)

“Librarian Simulator” – A Review by Someone Who Lost Their Weekend to a Game About Shelving Books ★★★★★ (My spine gives it 0/5) I need you to understand I am a functioning adult before I tell you I spent four and a half hours organizing a fake library. The premise sounds chill. You’re a librarian, sort some books. Wholesome. A nice wind-down game. There are three thousand books. Across four hundred shelves. The game drops this on you like it’s completely normal information that a person can just receive and continue living their life. The first real crisis hits when you have to shelve Magical Philosophical Studies. Is it Philosophy? Magic? Academic? Is this someone’s thesis defense at Hogwarts? I stood there debating the ontological nature of fictional grimoires for three minutes. The game made me do philosophy TO understand where to put the philosophy book. At some point I genuinely looked like Charlie from It’s Always Sunny discovering Pepe Silvia. Strings everywhere in my head. Post-it notes. “Okay so THIS connects to THAT, the magical books go HERE but wait this one has HISTORICAL elements so does it go with history or magic, WHO IS PEPE SILVIA.” Except Charlie eventually had a breakdown and stopped. I kept going for four hours. I finished the whole library in one sitting. Neck destroyed. Tailbone filing for emancipation. But it was done. The people who did this without using any powers are not okay. A padded room awaits them. 10/10. Touch grass after. Very well optimized and beautiful as well, totally worth the price, I really hope we have some DLC with more libraries, what about 10000 books? Just fckn fry my CPU already!
