Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
SquarePlay Games released Monk Took Book on Steam. Players take the role of a novice monk organizing a Dark Ages library, shelving books that arrive each morning and delivering requested volumes at night. Memory is the core test. Work earns blessings that upgrade skills, and dusk brings pests and spirits. Up to four players can play together. The game is 10 percent off until September 18.
Each morning a new batch of books arrives with symbols on their covers, and the player decides where each one goes. At night the scribes ask for specific volumes, and finding them tests how well the player remembers their own shelving.
Work earns blessings from the abbot, which can upgrade parkour, strength, speed, and carpentry skills, or fund taller shelves and new rooms. Dusk brings pests, spirits, and beasts that must be dealt with, and damaged books are repaired with a quill.
The game supports up to four players, includes an arachnophobia mode, and lets players adjust enemy counts or disable enemies entirely. It is on Steam now at 10 percent off until September 18.
