About Bring the Book back

You wake up in a stairwell with endlessly looping floors of the same library. Return the forgotten book and stay alert for any changes to break free from the cycle.

How to Break Free from the Cycle:

  • Inspect the library for any changes, some may be book-related, while others just involve little changes in the library. Some are obvious, while others are more hidden.
  • Walk down the staircase if no anomalies are found, or walk up if you detect an anomaly.
  • Make the correct decision eight times in a row to break free.
This game is a small, atmospheric anomaly-finding experience with over 70+ different anomalies, similar to Exit 8, The Cabin Factory, or False Mall. It includes some horror elements and features book-related anomalies to match the setting. Complete a cycle or even finish the entire game by discovering every anomaly.

Players praise this game for its charming art style, campy humor, and fair difficulty that keeps them engaged despite struggling with the puzzles. The main complaint centers on the anomalies being too subtle or unclear, making it challenging to spot what you're missing even when playing attentively.

This game was super fun and a nice surprise to find. It's the perfect amount of fair and scary. Couldn't ask for much more than that.

I found this game through the Developer. They are the makers of the Anomoly Finder game One Last Click which I really REALLY enjoyed. Campy humour, excellent artstyle.... everything, it is just a great game. The same energy they put into that game is in Bring the Book back as well. I suck at these games, but it is done in such a way that I don't mind that I am sucking at it and want to continue playing.... I won't lie though, if I had a quarter for how many times I said "What did I miss!? I could comfortably retire! Great game. Highly recommend it. 8 out of 10

Gorgeous setting and menus. I don't know about the anomalies so much, I've been trying to do this while having a cold so I'm playing on instinct mostly and it was almost enough, I don't know if the anomalies are only subtle, or I'm just too space out to notice.

Because i bought a bundle steam is making my review count for 2 games, skip to whichever game you are looking at One Last Clip: Great game if you like the genre. Be sure to play with audio on, it matters sometimes. Wish I could play the other game by the same studio but that one keeps crashing. This game works great though
