About This Game

"What do books mean to us? And what happens when the stories we depend on go missing?"

A Library Investigation

Play as Ruby (they/them), a journalism major on a surreal, after-hours adventure to investigate the disappearance of books from their college library. Their quest for library justice leads to dark political revelations and a magnetic connection with a mysterious trans librarian. Can Ruby live out their own queer story, even as queer history is being erased?

Narrative Puzzling

Thought bubbles provide insight into Ruby's (sometimes scattered) mind, as you make your way through the mysterious MacLeod library. Use an interactive journal to focus these thoughts and reveal new insights. The more you learn about Ruby's past, and the queer history of MacLeod itself, the more of the library's secrets you'll unlock!
