Buckle up and prepare for a heart-pounding literary experience like none other! Only those with fast fingers and a quick mind will be able to survive the monstrous task of repairing books before something terrible happens.

If you're feeling brave, you can play this game in Discord! This uses Discord's new Embedded App SDK, which is a developer preview so there are a few hoops you'll need to jump through to play. If you're not up to the challenge, you can also just play on our website. Either way, you can invite your friends and play together!

How to play (please read carefully because we ran out of time to make the tutorial good!) 1. Check if the book is overdue by comparing its return date to the date on your trusty desk calendar. If it's overdue, charge a fee before opening the book. Remember, YYYY/MM/DD. This isn't America! 2. Click on the book to open it and use your tools to repair any damages. Check the reference card in the bottom left to determine which tools you'll need to use. Click on a tool and then click on the damage to fix it up. 3. Be careful! If you take too long to repair it, the book will become unstable and summon a dangerous monster! Good luck :)
