Monk Took Book

It is fun for like an hour, then you have done everything. The game is very basic. Its a memorize game with sub par combat. Feels like a game that should be in early access. Devs don't really communicate too much on Steam. There's been updates to the beta branch with no notes. I shouldn't be expected to join a Discord server to see details. If youre wanting an organization game with multiplayer, play Cat Mail Co. Very fun, secrets to find, and no lazy implementation of combat. These devs could learn something from Cat Mail.

One of my favourite co-op experiences. The gameplay loop of (relatively relaxed) book sorting and reorganizing during the day, alternating with (tense, frenzied) book retrieval during the night, works incredibly well. This is, effectively, a memory game, which may not appeal to absolutely everyone, but for those it does, is excellently executed. It’s a hallmark of great design that I could only wish for more of the same post-game, eg. more libraries with different layouts/scenery, alternative sets of ~100 book symbols on future playthroughs (I can imagine this format being an enjoyable learning tool for visual recognition of, say, Chinese characters/Japanese kanji, or chemical formulae). I really like the graphical style used – the daytime monastery has great lighting effects through the stained glass facsimile, likewise the night-time skyboxes giving glimpses of the aurora and the Milky Way unadulterated by light pollution. The statues in the monastery crypt I also thought worthy of mention here: very evocatively modelled, while still conforming to the relatively low-resolution mesh geometries of the rest of the island. And the gargoyles! I have to applaud the immense care put i…

I hope these two are very proud of their hard work. I may be a drop in the ocean of voices that is the internet, but this game has surely made me happy playing it,

A sollid co-op game! Had loads of fun with friends! Hats off to the devs! Definitely replayable

10/10. The skeletons scared me, so I turned them off. Now I can enjoy the game without having a bone to pick.

very chill and fun experience. great to co-op with just me and a friend.
