Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 54.14/day in the week to Sep 1 → 98.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
A mischievous fairy has left the once-majestic library in utter chaos. The principal’s word is law: "You are forbidden from leaving until all 3,072 books are returned to their rightful places!" In the silent, mystical archive, your long battle against the mountain of books begins.
Categorization: From Destructive Magic and The Travels of Otherworld to Romance Novels—use titles and cover designs as clues to transport a massive collection to the correct sections.
Massive Volume: With 3,072 books to organize, the task may seem overwhelming at first. However, as you stack each book, you will unlock magical abilities that drastically boost your efficiency.
Visual Satisfaction: There is a special joy in seeing the books that once cluttered the floor return to the shelves, slowly revealing the hidden floor beneath. As chaos transforms into perfect order, you’ll experience an unparalleled sense of satisfaction.
Strategic Efficiency: How will you combine your unlocked abilities? What order will you tackle the mess? The strategic fun lies in your decision-making, as your tactics can lead to a dramatic increase in workflow.
Immersive Atmosphere: The library’s ambient sound and BGM change dynamically; as shelves fill up, the acoustic resonance grows stronger, drawing you deeper into the world.
The Principal’s Strict Evaluation: Your precision is being monitored. The Principal’s evaluation shifts in real-time based on how many rows are "correctly shelved" according to the rules. Accuracy and speed are the keys to a perfect score—and your escape.
Assemble: A spell that summons other volumes of the same series directly to your hands.
Insight: Highlights other volumes of the same series, making them easy to spot even in a disorganized pile.
Auto-Shelving: A spell that instantly places the books in your hands onto the shelves in perfect order.

I got lost in the vibe of the library man. really wished that we got a bigger library
Me encanta pagar 6€ por trabajar
A game with a simple concept. You have to sort books into shelfs. Thats it, a few magic spells to make it easier if you wish, but going for 100% does require you to sort every single book without magic. It was very enjoyable and a nice few evenings relaxing and taking some time off. The Books are colorful designed to differentiate and so you can learn which books go where. Great game, hoping for a bit more content in the future.

slop. sucks :/
I really enjoyed this game. It's not a fast paced game. It's just sorting and putting books on shelves, which I personally found very satisfying. My only disappointment was going thru the door at the end and there wasn't ANOTHER library to clean up. I would love that.. like.. more levels.. infinitely different libraries to clean up with different layouts. But.. really happy with this game. Very chill, very enjoyable. :)
Bought this on sale after seeing a yt short about it. It works great for my inner chaos goblin and my OCD. I'm already on my third run thru working on achievements.
Really loved this game! Apparantly i sat for 10h with this, for me i got hyper focus and forgot about time.... :) I am very excited to play the new museum game at the end of this month! This was such a relaxing and cozy game so i bet the new one will be just as good if not even better!
Отличная расслабляющая игра. В первый раз прошла даже не открывая сундуки и не пользуясь магией(я не знала что она есть), но это не доставило никакого дискомфорта, а наоборот кайфовала с процесса. Рекомендую
I live up to my username when it comes to this game. I have replayed this game in what feels like an insane amount of times given how many hours I have already put into it. It's cozy, gives no urgency to get it done (unless you are trying to finish under 3 hours for one of the achievements), and has some really humorous titles and references to various media. For now, it has the one level with the set 3k books, and one may think it boring to actually replay to add up to the hours I put into this game. I have done like 5 or 6 official runs of this game, several attempts at an achievement only to give up the second I realize it won't reach it, and starting over. Yet ever since 100% what is available so far, I just keep playing to see if I could beat my fastest time (1 hour and 45 minuets) and that is just for the fun of it. I can't wait to see the future of this game, if there will be a whole new level coming, an expansion of the map, maybe a new game mode? I feel like there is so much potential laying under the surface of what is currently the game we have now.
I truly wanted to like this game. I had it on my wishlist for awhile, and when I got the notice of there being a sale, I rushed to buy it. I love sorting games, but this game was just frustrating. I spent 4 hours playing, and at the 3 hour mark, I realized it was frustrating trying to decipher book titles to see whether they might be History, or Divination, or another subject, and then go check the key downstairs near the staircase to find the shelf for that guess and place the book on a shelf. By 4 hours, I just paused playing and decided I wasn't going to allow myself to go through the increasing levels of frustration to finish this game. The positives, though....the graphics are great. I see in other reviews that this might be AI created. Nevertheless, they're very pretty to look at, and the music is relaxing. Having keys upstairs so we don't have to keep running downstairs to check what each of the upstairs bookcases represent would be helpful. Also having a way or place to stack individual books nicely onto a table for sorting so that we can, for example, build a stack of philosophy books and take all of them at once to the philosophy section would also be helpful and reduce time. I never got far enough to open up any magic skills, so I can't speak on those.
