• Demo Update v1.2.0 - Book Repair! - 13 July 2026

  We're back with another list of changes! In particular, we've been looking into improving the Repair Desk with changes that should help make that station feel more enjoyable and less tedious with having to hop in and out for each repair Module. We were not 100% happy with the flow of how this used to work and at times could make the station feel a little slow. We have now opted for a self contained problem per Module that should now be completable without having to refer to the repair manual every time! We have also replaced the Repair Manual with a more interactable and helpful Repair Terminal! This can be used to learn how each Module functions as well as displaying a handy video on how each one is solved! We hope this change will help with the feedback and understanding of this station moving forwards!Without further ado, here are a list of changes to expect in v1.2.0!Added 4 new pur…

While you've been exploring the library and handling books we've been handling bugs instead! A couple of things in particular are an improvement to connectivity for those of you playing long distance as well as an audio and microphone setup screen that should appear on start-up.

Added a UI indicator to show the current day after waking up.Added various visual improvements to the shop.Improved the control prompt text for the “Librarians Handbook”.Improved feedback to better indicate when a shelf is…

• Unshelved Demo! - 28 May 2026

  Hello everyone!After two long years of hard work, we’re finally announcing the demo for our upcoming horror game, Unshelved!For the past while, we’ve been quietly building this project behind the scenes bit by bit and we're ready at long last to share our progress! The demo offers an early look at the library, its different workstations, and some of the dangers you might face during the night shift. There’s still a lot more to come, but we can’t wait to hear what you think! In this demo, you’ll play through a limited 5-day run, with access to a reduced selection of rooms and tools. The full game expands on this with unlimited days, saveable progression, more of the Library to explore, secrets to discover, additional equipment, a wider variety of threats to encounter, and the challenge of the Restricted Section!We welcome all ideas and feedback, so please be sure to leave any suggestions…
