Demo update 1.0.38: Carry more scrolls, softer colors, calmer hands

Hello, tidy librarians!

Many of you said the library gets heavy with so many floors to fill, and some of you found the colors a bit too bright. This update is for you. Thank you for every comment!

New ability: Capsa of the Scribes

• A golden scroll case hides right next to the start of the game.
• Eat it and your hands carry 16 scrolls instead of 7.

Easier on the eyes

• New Colors slider in Settings > Accessibility, from Natural to Vivid: the culture colors get softer and dimmer.
• The scroll you look at no longer turns white; a thin white outline traces its shape instead.
• New Outline width slider, from 1.0x to 3.0x.
• “Light on shelves” now starts off. You can turn it back on in Settings.
• A short accessibility note greets you the first time you play.

Calmer hands

• New Pick-up & drop effects option: turn it off to silence the sounds and sparks of grabbing, dropping and landing scrolls.
• Fingers no longer twitch when you pick up a scroll.

Clearer abilities

• The ability cards in the tutorial have bigger text and clearer instructions.
• Callimachus’ Catalogue explains better what it does: the scrolls in your hands that go on that shelf follow the one you place.
• On a controller, the teleport card shows the button you actually use.

All new texts are in English, Spanish, French, German and Bulgarian.

Coming next: the full game arrives on 5 November! Add it to your wishlist so you don’t miss it.

(Restart Steam if you don’t see the update yet.)

Thank you for playing, and for helping tidy up the library!
