You are very talented. I love these short games. I wish there were more what I call "interactive asmr" or "asmr games" where you are thrown in an ambiant world and try to figure things out yourself, that is very relaxing. This one is almost like a classic point and click but mastered in a new genre.
What if you develop a similar game/program without puzzles ? Just a plain world where you can walk, trigger stuff like lights, open/close doors, collecting objects just for the pleasure of collecting, etc.... And of course naming as many as objects in this world with a small description when you click on them like if you read an open book (That would also be some good educational material if you include internationalisation as people could learn new vocabulary in the language they learn). This would be like a peaceful world where everyone can enter whenever they want to disconnect from the real world the time for a ponder, a relaxation, etc...
Most of games have mission(s)/purpose(s) and a ending. But why wouldn't it be nice if game developers just used the power of modern tools to craft artistic environments with no purpose but only wandering for sense revelation and eye leisure ?
Also I think that is why some games let you keep playing even after the main storyline ends, developers understand that players want to keep playing because they like progress or they just like the universe they were put into.
If you know what I mean you know there is a huge idea to develop in this area. Looking forward for your work ! If you need more of my insight or my help in internationalisation support (chinese, korean, japanese, french) please contact me.
Unlike your other games I didn't enjoy playing this. The puzzles were frustrating, each required me to go back and painstackingly look over the past area again. Upon Completing the puzzle, instead of feeling accomplishment, it only presented another puzzle of the exact same type.....backtracking and painstackingly examining everything again and again. As a tech demo its very good, extremely pretty graphics, the environments and all that are great. The other parts that make a game are nonexistant though. I look forward to your next game, each of them is an improvment in different areas.
As a fan of point and click games, I really enjoyed playing The Librarian. The mystery is the game's strength. Wanting to find what the heck was going is what kept me engaged throughout my playthrough. I love how some gameplay elements from this game carried over to Mr. Navarro's Midnight Scenes games. Overall, this game was great and I highly recommend you play it if you are a fan of the Midnight Scenes games. I give The Librarian a double thumbs up!
If you want, you can watch my playthrough right here:
Really love this game! So far I really like the games coming from this developer! Keep up the awesome work! Would really love to see a full game of this!
I recently try this game and feel very satisfied to its clever puzzle and the overall chill but also warm ambiance in this platform adventure (The Walkhtrhrough Guide is also very welcomed when I was confused to find any stick to activate the strange machine :'D)
And can I send a regard of "Awww such a devoted mommy bird" to The Crow? >w<
"The Librarian is a short point and click experience by Octavi Navarro beginning by means of ‘dark and story night’. As for what lurks in that night… it requires a bravery different than the kind needed to see through a whole cart of material being shelved properly."
I absolutely love it ! The pixelart is great, riddles are on point and the magical town when library is so important? Just awesome. I would love to see more stories with the Librarian because that universum has a potential. I am waiting for more ! :)
awesome!!! i LOVED Midnight Scenes i'm so excited to play this!! it looks so good~ ;w; congrats on the release and good luck and love for you and your next project!!!
I only stumbled across this game now, surprisingly enough, and I really, really enjoyed playing it. The artstyle is amazing and the puzzles were really interesting. I can't wait to see your next project!
Love the pixelated artwork and the puzzles in this mysterious setting game. Some of the monsters like the the wolf that appear, its origins is post-apolitical almost?
