From itch.io: You have been here at the library longer than anyone else. You have seen countless patrons browse the stacks, each searching for something, whether they know it or not. Sometimes their search leads them to you. Sometimes you are taken down, consulted, and are momentarily allowed to contribute to the world. Then it is time again to wait. ARCHIVED is a solo journaling game where you tell the story of a book, map, or other article found in the library. The story unfolds as patrons engage with you, use you for their own ends, and eventually return you to your shelf to wait. Over the course of time you will change not only physically but also how you feel and identify. At the end of the game, you will look back on your past. What will you see when that time comes?
