Kakureza Library, originally a Steam release (January 2022 by Norabako), now graces Android devices thanks to BOCSTE. This PC-to-mobile port lets you experience the serene yet engaging life of an apprentice librarian.
A Day in the Library:
Become an apprentice librarian, managing book check-ins and check-outs, assisting patrons with research, and guiding them to the perfect reading material. Your choices, specifically the books you recommend, directly impact the lives of your visitors and shape the narrative, leading to multiple story paths—including some less-than-ideal outcomes.
The game boasts a captivating single-player experience with Japanese and English language options. While lacking voice acting, the absence contributes to the game's calm and contemplative atmosphere.
A standout feature is the impressive collection of 260 fictional books, each meticulously detailed with unique artwork, giving the impression of browsing a real library's shelves.
Endless Challenges:
For those seeking additional engagement, the Endless Reference mode provides a separate, challenging experience. This mode throws an endless stream of patrons with diverse requests your way, testing your speed and accuracy in fulfilling their needs.
Worth a Look?
Kakureza Library offers a unique solo experience, focusing on interaction with books and visitors. Priced at $4.99 on Android, the Steam version also enjoys a temporary price reduction to celebrate the mobile launch. If you enjoy relaxed gameplay with strategic elements, this librarian simulator is definitely worth checking out on the Google Play Store.
