What Steam players say

✦ AI summary

Players criticize Librarian as a low-effort asset flip with repetitive level design, minimal content, and puzzles that can be trivially bypassed, making it feel unfinished and not worth the asking price. The one consistent point of praise is the in-game soundtrack, which several players found genuinely enjoyable, though this alone doesn't justify a purchase for most reviewers.

[quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote] Librarian is an asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", Dnovel/FreeAnimals_Software, took a template from the godawful Cocos-2D game construction toolkit, slapped a couple of asset flipped sprites on it, and dumped the results onto Steam as a cash grab scam. Dnovel/FreeAnimals_Software has shown a repeated pattern of ripping off Cocos2D templates and dumping them on Steam in an attempt to fleece and scam gamers into buying copy + pasted shovelware. This is no exception. Don't believe me? Here's some other asset flips from exactly the same template, all shamelessly dumped on Steam as nasty cash grabs: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1475170]Boots vs Plants[/url]", copy + pasted from the same template by Dnovel [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1505440]Neon Warrior[/url]", copy + pasted from the same template by Dnovel [/list] Look for yourself... these are all reskins of exactly the same game! The products that result from asset flips aren't "real" games. They lack depth and content, because they're just simplistic copies of demos or t…

[h1] Isabelle Reviews...[/h1] Librarian was not a hard game at all. It presented the same level of challenge as a single breath. Each level the levels puzzles could be easily sidetracked and skipping the whole puzzle aspect, going on through to the next level. While I can 100% enjoy platformers Librarian needs to up it's game on being able to have all puzzles needing to be completed before the level end door appears. For these reasons I cannot recommend this game. [u]🏆 100% Completed at the time of the review[/u]

Overall i would say this game is ...ok. Mainly because the levels are very repetative, i would recommend buying this game through a key site as it is defo not worth over £6.

Librarian is a small-scale action and platforming experience that keeps its ideas straightforward while adding a few unusual touches to give the adventure its own identity. Developed by FreeAnimals_Software and published by Conglomerate 5, it puts players in control of a librarian who must travel through a series of levels, confront enemies, unlock passages, and discover references and important dates. It is clearly designed as a compact indie production rather than an expansive adventure, making its simplicity an important part of both its appeal and its limitations. The gameplay revolves around moving through individual areas while figuring out how to reach the next destination. Doors frequently stand between the player and further progress, encouraging some exploration before a stage can be completed. Teleporters add another element to navigation by transporting the character between different rooms. These mechanics are uncomplicated, but they prevent the experience from becoming a completely linear walk from one objective to another. Searching the environment for notable dates and references also provides an additional purpose beyond simply reaching the end of each level. Com…

This could have been made into a simple but fun game if anybody put any effort into creating real levels for it. As it stands, there is no real content here. Not even enough for 49 cents.
