A game about organizing, stacking and remembering where you put hundreds of books in a cozy-creepy medieval library. Play solo or with up to three fellow monks. Spend six nights at the abbey in this short demo.

About Monk Took Book Demo

Welcome, Novice, to Holy Island, home to the greatest monastic library of the Dark Ages! In this Demo, thou can spend five days at this revered place of learning. Become familiar with thy new role - to complete our Legendary Collection...

Every morning new books are delivered, each bearing a distinct symbol upon their cover. Remember them well! Then place them upon shelves according to thine own design.

Cometh the night, you must deliver the Scribes their chosen tomes. Recall where thy books are placed, for this is a test of thine memory!

The Abbot shall reward thy toils with Blessings. Spend them on Perkes to Level Up thy Strength, Speed and Carpentry Skill. Or expand the Collection by raising new and lofty shelves or unlocking new chambers.

After dark, vermin, spirits and all manner of beasts shall assail thy Collection. Take up thy dagger, crossbow or holy cross to preserve thy labours. Then use the quill to restore any damaged books. Note that thou can reduce or disable thy foes if a more chilled experience is desired.

Immerse thyself in a host of systems-based emergent gameplay, including simulated flame and combustion, water dousing by pail, the chaotic physics of tumbling and thrown books, a day and night cycle, ballistic weapons and melee combat.

Revel in a myriad of features and Quality of Life benefits with thy brethren:
