  • The game offers a unique concept of a virtual library where players can explore and read a variety of classic literature.
  • The ambiance of the library is pleasant, with nice graphics and calming music that enhances the reading experience.
  • For its low price, the game provides a decent selection of public domain books, making it an interesting option for book lovers.
  • The game lacks essential features like bookmarks and a proper organization system for the books, making it frustrating to navigate and read.
  • Many books are inaccessible or poorly formatted, with overlapping text and no clear indication of which books can actually be read.
  • The controls and movement mechanics are clunky, leading to a disorienting experience that detracts from the overall enjoyment of reading.
  • music
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally described as soothing and calm, enhancing the tranquil library atmosphere. However, players express a desire for more variety in the soundtrack to prevent monotony. Overall, while the music contributes positively to the experience, an options menu to customize audio settings would be beneficial.

    • “It’s just a really soothing game, the music is nice and calm.”
    • “You have an aiming reticle so that you can select your book with precision and grace and the music begins to play majestically in the background.”
    • “The music could use some variety just so the user does not get bored and sick of it.”
    • “Really the biggest thing the game needs is an options menu, to disable motion blur, adjust the bloom of the lighting, turn off the music, that sort of thing!”
    • “Nice feel to it, looking forward to the library filling in, and more music tracks.”
  • story

    The graphics in the game are generally considered decent, complementing the atmosphere of the library setting, though they are not the standout feature. Overall, the visuals are satisfactory but not particularly impressive.

  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be somewhat excessive, drawing comparisons to previous titles from the same developer, which also featured tedious gameplay elements.

    • “The game can feel a bit grindy at times, but the rewards make it worthwhile.”
    • “Grinding is a necessary part of the experience, and it adds depth to character progression.”
    • “While there are moments of grinding, the sense of achievement after leveling up is incredibly satisfying.”
    • “It can be a bit grindy sometimes.”
    • “Why do you need a real farming experience when you have Farming Simulator?”
  • gameplay
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Insane gameplay”
    • “The mechanics are well thought out, and the developer is aware of the bookmarking issue that players have discussed.”
    • “The mechanics feel clunky and unrefined, making it difficult to enjoy the gameplay.”
    • “There are significant issues with the game's pacing, leading to frustrating moments that disrupt the flow.”
    • “The lack of a proper tutorial leaves players confused about the core mechanics, which detracts from the overall experience.”
