SquarePlay Games announced Monk Took Book, a game about organizing a dark-age library as a trainee monk, will launch September 3 on Steam for PC. Players arrange books by symbols, deliver requested volumes at night, and defend against pests and spirits. It supports up to four-player co-op with adjustable difficulty and accessibility options.
SquarePlay Games has dated Monk Took Book for September 3 on Steam for PC. The game casts players as a trainee monk managing a dark-age library, where each morning new books with cover symbols arrive and must be shelved in a personal arrangement. At night, scribes request specific volumes, testing the player's memory of where each book was placed.
Work earns blessings from the abbot that improve perks and level strength, speed, and carpentry skills, while new rooms and fine shelves expand the collection. Dusk brings pests, spirits, and beasts that must be dealt with, and damaged books are repaired with a quill. The game includes first-person and third-person views, an arachnophobia mode, and co-op for up to four players with proximity voice chat and public or private lobbies.
