Decently fun game that doesn't overstay its welcome.
Standard Open World game which means that the side objectives do get kind of repetitive after a while.
Fortunately it's only around 12 hours long.
7/10

Dunno if I would purchase it at full price though, wait for a 50% sale or something.

Library of Ruina is a deck-building game developed by ProjectMoon set in The City, a dystopian caricature of capitalistic society taken to its extreme.
Organ-harvesting? Yep
Being a mercenary? A regular job for people
Untold suffering? Absolutely

Anyways let's be more serious for a moment. Library of Ruina is the 2nd game coming from the devs at Project Moon, and if you were a fan of them before you may be aware of the... troubled development of their first game Lobotomy Corporation. The early access of Library of Ruina also had some bumps on the road, however it managed to develop into something that I think is truly beautiful.

The gameplay is a top-notch deck-building strategy game where you heighten the emotions of both your own Librarians to take advantage of abnormality cards; (unique abilities available to each of the floors of your library)and your guests in order to acquire more books all in order to one day acquire the One True Book.

While I do truly enjoy the game part of Library of Ruina, where I think the game truly shines is in it's story and world building. The characters in the game give off a sort of... humanness to them in a way that I feel many games are unable to. Another highlight of the game would be the music, composed by Studio EIM, probably best-known for their work on the soundtrack of Maplestory.

Don't feel too bad about murdering the untold masses you will on your path to the One True Book by the way.
After all, That's that and this is this.

Great game, but it's a little bit short.
