Borrowed Book

"I FORGOTTEN TO RETURN THE BOOK!"

Megu forgotten to return the book by the deadline only to end up in a cliche situation with her friend, Rudy. Being trapped in the library...

 Will they able to complete chores and return safely from their book returning experience or perhaps there is something more behind the scenes that seemed...off-putting?

Borrowed Book is a simple yet heavy-dialogue; psychological horror RPG Maker game on two microorganisms attempting to completing their chores for the librarian to get out from the library quickly.

However, you'll mainly be controlling Rudy, the character that Megu pairs with from the start of the story.

Because for whatever reason, she's not good with chores and you're dealing with it.

How to Open:

Notes:

Please be aware that there will a lot of dialogue that plays a huge part of this game so at most, there will be different dialogues for certain choices you make so it's advised you have to save frequently before you interact with a certain scene and grab items.

If you're not the type to like reading, then I'd suggest looking into another game, sorry. This is not a JRPG. Before anyone says it, I purposely disabled 'dashing' in the game because you don't need to run in the library. Really, you don't need to. Don't bother.

(There is already a disclaimer in the game but it's summarised for the sake of avoiding adding a long list of things.)

This game is made for the 14th RPG Maker Horror Game Jam which in total took the whole month of the submission time given and the extra extension date given to beta testers to test and find errors and refined ideal qualities.

Note from Author:

"Do I regret doing this in a month, sort of but not really? I'm able to finished my oldest unfinished RPG Maker game that never came to fruition into something more dark compared to the older concept from last year.

Though you'll won't see me doing another game in the near future as I'm more occupied in another fandom doing fan art but if I ever do it again, I probably make one regarding my other characters and extend more on their stories but unlikely because RPG Maker is a menace; you can't tell me otherwise with my spaghetti coding in that program takes me weeks to polish even with several plugins did not save me from the several issues I had with its limitations. (And god forbid that when I finally clean up all stock images, I still have to have vehicles in the image folder or the game won't even work.)

You're always free to support by looking into my itch.io page for links to my social media to see my current artwork and for those who finished the game till the end, hope you love the extra room I slapped in.

I may update this game again to have better dialogue or artwork or something to the extra room but no promises."
