The Developer Says...

  • You and your friends have awakened the forbidden stones and now everyone is trapped, except for you. Accept your fate, become an Archivist for the mysterious Library, and free the imprisoned.  

  • Hop from world to world via magical books and interact with characters whose stories have gone wrong because of your mistake. Can you set them back on the right path, or will you lead them further astray? 

  • Be sure not to break the fourth wall. If you do, the people of that world will realize you’re not who you seem.  

  • Players who enjoy experiences like Slay the Princess, Mutazione, and Ace Attorney will surely love the world and gameplay of Library on the Lake!  

Key Features: 

  • Multiverse adventure.

  • Player name and pronoun choices. 

  • Depending on player choices in each story, the game will have eight different endings. Choose carefully to save all of your friends! 

  • Mini games. 

  • Revisiting classic Black Banshee IPs—Coalescence and Escape the Unknown: Awaken the Realm—while expanding into exciting new IPs.

Systems/Standouts: 

  • Greek mythology & astronomy. 

  • Humor – who doesn’t love a baby mutant gator?! 

  • Sci-fi, fantasy, and noir.
