Before you play, I want to give you one crucial piece of advice: do your first playthrough without any MAJOR magic usage (minor magic and the stone that activates for the last 10 books are fine to use). This game unfortunately sabotages its own magic (no pun intended) by introducing you to skills that automatically solve the premise of the game for you, leading to a very boring gameplay loop. I don't believe this is the way to experience the game, especially on your first playthrough. If you want to fully appreciate this title, I recommend doing a 100% achievement run in this order: 1. First playthrough with no major magic - take your time, familiarize yourself with the library and relax. 2. Second playthrough with major magic - you should know the library pretty well by now, so use everything at your disposal to get a run under 3 hours. 3. Third playthrough - put books down randomly without completing a single row to get the last achievement. This is the way I played the game, and I had a blast. It is very comforting and addictive to slowly clean up the library. When I launched the game, the first 5 hours just flew by - I was surprised by how invested I was from the get-go. It is a simple but very beautiful game with eye-watering music, and I'm really going to miss it. I definitely didn't expect to finish it in 3-4 days. It's hard to occupy your mind with dark thoughts when you're focused on occupying the shelves with them books. I really hope this gets a sequel in the future.
10/10 my boyfriend thought it would be funny to watch me play this game knowing how severe my ADHD is. Loved it, took me 6.9Hrs but I did it in one sitting and about 4.5 of those hours I forgot to level up lol. Anyway... to any dev reading this, I would love to make little summaries for all of the books so you can interact with them more than just pick up put on shelf. Heck, I would do it for free. I am obsessed. Congratulations, you have yet another fan.
I'm going to comment here in two forms, sort of. One, to discuss this game as it is on its own merits. Two, to discuss the evident use of AI in this game and my general thoughts around that. First, the game. I've been thinking about this quite a bit recently, now that I've completed the puzzle and put the books back in order. A few thoughts come to mind - Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library! (what a mouthful, lets call this L:TU) is a title that would be best appreciated by gamers who enjoy those 'search out' games, like 'find the cats in the scene' games. It'd also likely be appreciated by people who enjoy putting together jigsaw puzzles. There's a very low-intensity whimsy here in seeking out book titles that is suprisingly addictive. But then, as I was playing, I was appreciating this game and I knew that this game wouldn't be for everyone. I'm here actually enjoying myself, but then again, I give Lawn Simulator a 10/10. But I digress, slightly. The gameplay itself is an FPS experience that can be played on keyboard/mouse or with a controller - I chose the latter. There are ~3000 books that need to be shelved, each one in it's own section, and each section having book sets of 3, 5, and 10 books. They're organized by color, shape, naming convention and subject (by floor). In order to get the full appreciation of all of this you're going to require a few things. First, you're going to have to not be colour blind. If you are, forget it. Or at least know you're going to be be playing with a significant, but not insurpassable, experience. Second, you're going to have to have a very strong command of the English language and to appreciate how the book, "Rules and Regulations for a Multi-Classed Adventurers Party" belongs in the "Jurisprudence" section, where as "Everyone's Dwarvish: Common Introductions" belongs in the "Languages" section. At first the game is slow, while you're absolutely lost and trying to find books in sequence, desparetly hoping to complete a row. The more rows you complete, the more experience you gain, which can then be spent on spells. The spells are the part that instantly make the searching component bareable, as these are game changers in speeding up the process. They'll provide the ability to highlight books, bring books in to your hand, organize them in your hands, and place them on the shelves automatically. Pretty soon the process has gone from painstaking to actually sorta kinda fun somehow. The whole thing's over in around 5 hours, probably less if you're faster than me, and you probably will be. There's a, in my opinion, very pleasant reward for completing the task that's very reminiscent of Disney's Fantasia cartoons, and I'll leave it at that. Now, the AI part. (Some of) the reviews are staunchly anti-AI and I appreciate that. I do. If you feel strongly about AI, and you should, and if that's enough to put you off this game, then I appreciate that too. It's a modern, polarizing topic. In this game, it feels quite clear to me that the AI was used to create book titles as well as differentiate book covers themselves. It's done with good effect, and I don't believe there's any direct 'stealing' or plagarizing of public works here, however, it's also pretty lazy. There's a sort of laziness behind it, and behind the use of AI in this game. I think the AI is used in the most inoffensive way possible here in 2026, but it will offend people nonetheless, and quite honestly I can agree with them to a point: AI didn't need to be used here, just more time for real humans to provide real content. The game itself is a fun, lighthearted and enjoyable experience and quite honestly I would love to do this again, more of it, bigger libraries, crazier books, maybe open a book or two, but I would like it done with human content, human titles, I'd like to see more use of human art in the next iteration. So it's a thumbs up here, but it teeters on the precipise of thumbs down, not only because AI feels very much leaned-on in this project, but also because I don't really think it was necessary - just more thought and time required to build more assets. But it's primarily a thumbs-up because I enjoyed the game, and that's what it's about. But also, guys, I enjoyed Lawn Simulator.
