Organized Terror: Something is Wrong With the Library Arrives this Fall

Alex Dieter, billionaire king of the Fortune 500, has single-handedly revitalized your small mountain town. He installed fiber internet. He paid for new landscaping. He's established a host of initiatives to make Sweet Elm a curated hub of technological innovation and small-town comfort. And, to cleanse the city, he's been killing various homeless people and stuffing them in the walls of the local library. Now, the Alex Dieter Public Library and Center for Reflection is haunted. Its shelves are in disarray, books thrown to the floor by supernatural forces and long-departed patrons. With the help of its former administrator, Phillip Shed, you will clean and organize the library in one tense night, unraveling the story of complicity at its heart and bringing it peace–one shelf at a time.

• Fully-voiced story with an entire library of eerie manifestations to unlock.
• An authentic modern library filled with thousands of real book titles.
• Modular Chaos System–every playthrough gives you a different set of books to shelve!
• Organize fallen and missing books by Dewey Decimal System classification, author, and title.
• The Drowning Room.
