Thought I would use this comment just to let everyone know that there are a few game breaking bugs that we are in the process of sorting out. Please check back later for a proper experience!
*Edit* We have fixed a most of the issues now, so I would like to invite you to try the game again if you did so previously! :)
*Edit* Made a fix so the arrow keys can't just be spammed randomly to finish the tasks :)
Unfortunately I think there's some bug or other problem that hinders the game.
The screen is black at start (my real monitor, not the in-game one) until I press SPACE. I can progress up until 4-5 questions, until the book appears. After that, the screen goes black again. I can press SPACE to reset, but the book disappears and I have to start from the beginning. That means I'll be stuck in the loop and can't progress (quite fitting in a way, ha!)

I really like the music and minimalist graphical style!
I'll gladly revisit the game if there will be a bug-fix or something.
(...if the way I got stuck was really unintentional, and not planned that is!)
Thank you very much Dis0rder for the feedback. I have done a bunch of bug fixes now so hopefully your issue should be fixed now. :) The book issue is because the instructions aren't shown in the game yet. Try using the arrow keys for now.
Played it, was fun and nicely polished, got to 78 days (let me know if I missed any content by stopping there). Visuals are very evocative of the time and mood (music does a great job with that too).
Feels good when you get yourself into a rhythm, kinda reminds me of the Cook, Serve, Delicious! games.
Good job!
It's pretty fun, maybe some more sound effects would have been nice (but I'm just being picky i guess) Way to go!
Great Game, the only thing I'd recommend is to punish if you press a wrong arrowkey, because you can just spam the keys and press n and y and easily get a high score. But very good game anyway
Didn't run into any bugs. The art style and colour choice fits well with the theme of the game and is nicely consistent! Very good entry.
Great idea, I liked how the game scaled, some more lose cases would be great for difficulty
Style is really evocative of the (ingame theme), solid but simple gameplay.
I really like the style and atmosphere of the game, I've gotten to around day 50 a few times and I would like to play more but when I lose I'm never sure why! Some feedback on what I did wrong would be helpful
I really like Papers, Please vibes the game gave me :) Best of luck!
Nice atmospheric/mood. The graphics and music work really well together. Reminds me a little bit of Papers Please. Would be a good basis for a more narrative game.
Stressful game!
This game gave me great appreciation for librarians everywhere. The graphics is simple but nice and consistent and the soundtrack fits well.
Ahhhh this game screams for sound effects! a shame you didn't get to add any. Loved the graphics and the PaperPlease vibe. When I loose, I'm not really sure why.
That's great. Dream job!
i really liked this! the music and graphics fit perfectly together, and i loved the visual style. it felt very meditative and relaxing to play, even as it got harder. i wonder if there was any kind of ending, or way to break out, or if it just gets impossibly difficult...
