Library of Runia is a turn-based game on PC, with it being a sequel of the game, Lobotomy Corporation, as you follow the AI assistant from Lobotomy Corporation named Angela, as you then follow her plan on turning her from an advanced android into a human, as she invites guests from the city and backstreets into the library, as they fight the librarians to gain a book they want or be turn into a book when they die in the library, as you progress further in the game story, the enemy’s will start to be harder and harder to kill especially early on when you don’t have good attacks, such as during the repression of Forsaken murderer on the floor of technological sciences, due to him having a high heal pool and stagger count, he is hard to defeat as his attacks deal high damage with him only having two cards in his deck, one is hard to counter due to it high number.

But all journey’s have a start, as you play as the character Roland, with him wandering into the library without noticing as he soon met Angela who questions him before she then killed Roland before waking up once more as the servant of Angela as she informs him that he will be working with her, as him being to able to enter the library shouldn’t be possible without using a invitation, due to this, she then tasked him to receive guests during their reception and to obtain books from them by defeating them in battle, with the game moving to more complex difficulties as you move up the chapters, with the final chapter being 7, with the chapters’ names being the following, starting from first to last: Canard, Urban Myth, Urban legend, Urban Plaque, Urban Nightmare, Star of the City, and finally Impuritas Civitatis. But as you progress through the game, to start to learn the history of the people who were invited into the library, with most stories being sad or of greed to try and gain something from the library as they enter it, but you then learn more about the playable characters, one of which being Roland as you see as his memories start to come back from his which he was a grade 1 fixer in a office, with him then going on a rampage after a distortion killed his wife and destroyed most the of the district he was in, as then out of grief he went on and start to target and kill fixers before stopping as his as grade was then demoted to grade 9, as he then continue life as usual before entering the library without noticing.

After playing the game and learning its story, it made me wonder what could have changed if some events hadn’t happened, and if next time I replay this game, could I be able to do it without much struggle, and if I would still love the same story, but I do thing some things could change such as the difficulty as you are made to play it as is, and without the ability to make it easier or harder without using some mods made for the game, so when someone new play it they might have a hard time trying to figure out the game due to it unique system it has, but a large part I love about the game is the music they have during some specific boss battle as it make you focus and realize the beauty it has in it story and background of the characters you see, but if I were to rate it with a scale of 10, I would have it be a 9/10 as I love it story, it characters and it music that is used during it, but if you do want to check it out, it is available on stream for 30 dollars, but I would say buy it whenever it on sale if you’re going to save some money.
