Hi, I love your game and have some questions, suggestions, and bug reports.

Questions:

1. It seems that the game resets itself every time it launches. Is that correct?

2. What happens if you somehow reach the ground (lowest point) of the library?

3. Will you bring this game to Steam? I just want to see how much time I spend with this lovely game (without needing to use external tracking software).

Suggestions:

1. Since everything looks EXACTLY the same, it is very easy to get completely lost. It would be nice to have some coardinations (like: floor x; hexagon x; facing (north, east, south or west)) or like the coardinations in Minecraft (x, y, z)

2. The book pages should be numbered (finding a word after closing a book is very frustrating).

3. It would be nice to give some sort of (optional) save/load option.

Bugs:

1. If you close a book facing a bookshelf or wall (while the book sticks through said object), it clips through it and disappears.

2. If you run over a lot of books that lay on the ground (I threw ons a whole bookshelf on the ground), some of the books may fall to the ground on the lower floor.

If you want, you can contact me via email, under: M.Funk03@web.de

Appreciate the feedback and glad you like the game!

The game should save/load automatically but looks like that’s not working with the web build. Should be working on the downloadable versions.

Page numbers aren’t a bad idea and shouldn’t be too tricky to add.

I’ll take a look at the physics glitches but I think it’s always going to be a bit jank.

Not opposed to putting it on steam but I’d probably touch it up a bit more first.

For me, adding coordinates, a search feature, or explaining too much works against the atmosphere of the library. A big part of it are the unanswered/unanswerable questions. Is each book in there exactly once, is it completely random, is there some kind of pattern? Is there an edge, does it go on forever, does it repeat? Can you ever prove any of those questions one way or the other?
