• I made a new game - The Night Librarian 🕯️ - 25 June 2026

  Hi everyone,Thank you for playing Idle Library - it's meant a lot to have so many of you spend time with a library game I made. I've been working on something new, and I wanted to share it with the people who supported the first one.I also want to be upfront about something. A lot of you gave honest feedback about AI-generated content in Idle Library. I heard you, and I took it seriously - The Night Librarian contains no AI-generated content. The writing and artwork are entirely my own.It's a different kind of game from Idle Library - a cozy mystery puzzle game (though I clearly couldn't stay away from libraries). You play the night-shift librarian at Ashwood Library: sort the returns, find the books patrons are after, and set the shelves right before morning. But the longer you work, the more you notice the library isn't quite… empty. Across five nights, a mystery unfolds.No timers, no…

• Idle Library — Major Update: The Grand Overhaul - 19 March 2026

  Idle Library — Major Update: The Grand OverhaulFirst and foremost, thank you for your incredible patience. I have been listening to your feedback and this update represents the most significant changes to Idle Library since launch. I hope it makes the game feel more rewarding, more strategic, and much more worth your time.⚖️ Balance & ProgressionRaised the first prestige threshold from 10,000 → 75,000 books, so reaching prestige feels like a genuine milestoneSteepened prestige scaling — later prestiges now require significantly more effortPost-prestige upgrade costs now scale harder, making each prestige cycle feel distinctAscension now requires Prestige 15 (up from 10), giving the mid-game more breathing roomModerate base cost increases across early upgrades to slow the opening hours and make each purchase feel meaningfulThe Curator upgrade has been reworked — it no longer reduces rese…
