Overdue

I made a game about shelving books. Can sync to your computers clock after 9pm and it will match the clock on the wall.

You work a night shift in a library. There are returned books to restock, load them on your cart and file them away. Explore, relax and enjoy!

All 46,000 books have real Dewey Decimal numbers and proper Cutter codes, and no two share a call number. The shelves run in the order a real library uses, so every book has exactly one right spot and you find it by reading the spines. Learn the system in game: 813.54 goes after 813.5 and before 813.6. F553 goes after F5. If you're right, the book is successfully returned!

Hold a book up and look closer (F) and you'll get a note about it. Where the damp got in, who left it on a windowsill one summer, a reader who kept asking for it every winter and then stopped. A few are odder than that. 

There's a cat asleep in a chair. You can't pet it, sorry.

Controls WASD to walk, mouse to look E to interact and to sit down F to look closely at a book you're holding C to crouch for the bottom shelf R to grab or let go of the trolley Z for the shelving guide, M for the menu

If mouse look doesn't kick in inside the small window, the arrow keys turn instead. Fullscreen works properly.

Your shift picks up where you left it.

I hope you enjoy poking around in it as much as I enjoy building and playing it!
