  "account": "Strange Scaffold, the developer behind I Am Your Beast and Clickolding, has revealed a new tidying game called Something is Wrong with the Library. As the title suggests, the game is set in a library that is haunted by blood and meat, with the player tasked with reshuffling the books and dealing with the eerie energies emanating from the corpses of the library's billionaire patron.\n\nThe game features a Modular Chaos System, which ensures that each playthrough has its own unique set of books to organize. One of the notable elements of the game is the inclusion of an inscrutable obelisk, adding to the overall haunted atmosphere.\n\nWith Steam currently flooded with organize-em-ups and haystack searchers, Something is Wrong with the Library aims to provide a distinct identity and direction to the tidying game genre. The developer's previous works, including a harrowing psychological test, a match-three metroidvania, and an isekai-enabling driving sim, demonstrate their commitment to pushing the boundaries of game design.\n\nStrange Scaffold's penchant for creativity and ability to create unique experiences make players confident that Something is Wrong with the Library will offer a memorable and engaging tidying adventure.",
