Libraries tend to be places of reading, learning,
and the occasional “shush”, should anyone accidentally turn their page too
quickly. Not so in first-person horror adventure The Library, where gamers will be trying to get their hands on the
hidden wealth within its four walls. One thing worth mentioning; the library is
haunted. Thanks a bunch, 4dMinds Studio.
Players step into the (hopefully squeak-free) boots of a thief, looking
to snatch the ancient treasures inside. The spirit of the last librarian has
other ideas. What was once a simple heist becomes a mission to navigate the
library to find the secrets and clues hiding inside the mystery behind the
library's haunting. All the while, the spirit will be trying to hunt you down
like an overdue book.
Based on the trailer above, gameplay seems to be mainly exploration
focused, along a similar vein to the Amnesia
series. Explore the library, discover the truth, solve a few puzzles, and
try to stay alive. If the game is indeed similar to Amnesia, this won’t be easy.
The Library is available for
free on itch.io, and can be played on Windows PCs. Feel like a late night
visit to the library? The team at 4dMinds have you covered.
