Lost & Shelved
A downloadable game
During the game, you play the part of a librarian, stock-taking or with cause to check trolleys of books going back to the shelves.
In some of these books you find ephemera, things left behind by your patrons, perhaps as bookmarks but regardless they are all lost. Be nosy, but in an anonymous way!
This game was created for the #DeadLettersJam and is based on Ghost Box by Marx Shepherd.
Inspired by this story in NPR about a librarian collecting such items from their library's collection.
"You want weapons? We’re in a library. Books are the best weapon in the world. This room’s the greatest arsenal we could have. Arm yourself!"
-Doctor Who
(a quote which doesn't really have anything to do with the game, but it's awesome, so I'm including it!)
