What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We develop Library Of Lyria as a small two person team and Early Access gives us the opportunity to keep on developing close to all your great ideas and feedback. We plan to add more and more stages of the game and Early Access is the perfect framework for that.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Library Of Lyria will be in Early Access for roughly two to three years with active development together with the community. Over this time, we plan to release more and more content that contains further library stages, more villagers, more quests, etc.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The main difference will be mid- and late-game content. We plan to have more library stages, more villagers/NPCs and more quests. During development our plan is to have different stages that will gradually expanding the scope of the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core mechanics are ready and done. The most important ones are:

The quest and dialogue system. You are already able to talk to the villagers and do quests
Day/Night cycle, weather system and changing seasons. While playing we want to give you an atmospheric experience. Changing weather, lighting moods and the environment based on the current season is a key element for that.
The build system. You already can build lots of elements in your library or around it. You can build bookshelves, crafting stations, decorative elements and many more.
NPCs already follow a daily schedule which makes interacting with them much more immersive
Gathering, mining and collecting resources is also already implemented so nothing stands in your way to craft the things you need.

If you want to follow the development of the game directly: We stream live on Twitch so you can have a look at the current state whenever you like.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, the Full Release version of Library Of Lyria will cost a bit more than the Early Access version. As the scale of the game rises with further development you will have more and more content to play when buying the final release. If you already obtained the Early Access version, you saved a buck or two.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Involving the community into the development of the game is one of the most important things for us! Our official Discord server already has all the places we need to talk about. In addition to that we stream the development live on Twitch so there is always room for feedback, ideas and chatting about the game.”

About This Game

Deep within an enchanted forest on the beautiful island of Lyria lies a magical library, a place where knowledge, magic, and nature once converged to maintain the island's delicate balance. For generations, a dedicated librarian cared for this wondrous building, working closely with the island's villagers. But then, one day, the library was left deserted, its halls crumbling, its magic fading.

Now, you are the next librarian in this ancient succession. Armed with determination and a touch of magic, your journey begins to restore the Library of Lyria to its former glory. This enchanting blend of sandbox, farm, and management simulation invites you to rebuild, explore, and connect with a world brimming with charm and mystery.

Restore & Personalize Your Enchanted Library

Your adventure begins with a building that is little more than a crumbling forest hut. But with dedication, you can transform it into a magnificent beacon of knowledge. Expand and embellish your library level by level, unlocking various expansion stages that allow you to restore its grandeur. Design and decorate every corner to reflect your unique style: build cozy reading nooks, grand halls, and inviting spaces that people will love to visit and spend time in. From humble beginnings to a sprawling, personalized sanctuary, the possibilities are vast.

Craft & Discover Ancient Knowledge

A library needs furnishings, and of course, books! Gather mystical ingredients and raw materials from across Lyria to craft essential bookshelves, unique furniture, and powerful new tomes. You can forge these items yourself, find rare artifacts hidden throughout the island, or seek assistance from the friendly villagers. As you progress, you will unlock increasingly high-quality workbenches and recipes, allowing you to create more complex and valuable products. This journey of creation and discovery is central to filling your library with new life and forgotten wisdom.

Explore the Mystical Island of Lyria

The island of Lyria is not just a backdrop; it's a living, breathing world full of secrets waiting to be uncovered. Journey across its vibrant landscapes, from serene forests to hidden groves, and discover new, undiscovered locations that entice further exploration and unlock new areas of the game. As you delve deeper, you will unravel the profound purpose the library serves – for it is clear: this is not merely a place where books are kept. The island's mysteries are closely intertwined with the library's destiny.

Connect with Lyria's Charming Inhabitants & Cater to Their Needs

The people who live on Lyria are as rich and diverse as the island itself, and as the librarian, they are your most cherished patrons. Each non-player character (NPC) possesses a deep background story, offering unique personal fates, future goals, inner conflicts, and even amusing quirks to explore. Beyond their personal tales, you'll learn their individual reading preferences, from rare magical texts to thrilling adventures. Cater to their diverse literary tastes, issue traditional library cards, and ensure their satisfaction to cultivate a thriving, beloved library. The closer you get to know the villagers, the more you will uncover about their lives and their connection to the island. Many of their stories are closely linked to Lyria's lore, opening up new quests for you to undertake and deepening your immersion in the world.

Experience a Living, Breathing World

Immerse yourself in the friendly and cozy atmosphere of Lyria, where nature and magic play an important role in everyday life. The world comes alive with dynamically changing day and night cycles, shifting seasons, and a dynamic weather system that lets you dive deep into the enchanting environment. Every moment spent on Lyria is designed to be a delightful escape, offering a serene and captivating world to cultivate your dream library.
