The Librarian (2020)

Fun, short game from a great developer. Get the whole bundle for best value!

Is that all there is to it!?!?!?! Very Very Short

It's a good game. I played it on my steam deck, with it streaming to my television, and used a mouse to get around and select stuff because the PS5 controller I have was a little too difficult to use because moving the cursor around with it made it fly around too fast (might be an issue with the controller settings rather than the game itself). It invoked memories of those early point and click games, in which you need to run your cursor over everything to figure out what you can interact with. There are some puzzles, but they weren't too hard to figure out. I finished it in just over half an hour. Which is fine for the amount I spent on it.

A short puzzle game, around 20 minutes. Nice art and good music.

Very atmospheric, but very short. The pixel art is good, I have a hard time saying this is definitively worth $4, but it could be worth it to you to support an excellent pixel artist. The ending was abrupt and confusing, and the puzzles were simple. You could put this in front of your child and entertain them for about 30 minutes or so.

A short and polished adventure game. The art and visual effects are top-notch, the world building is sparse but interesting. The game is short enough that the puzzles are kind of minimal but they work. Happy to see the dev has a lot of other games to check out.
