News: If you have ever wanted to create, design, and run your own library, be sure to check out one of the newest games on Steam.

Aiyra and Little Giants Games, in partnership with Nuuvem Inc, have released Libritopia: Librarian Simulator on Steam Early Access for $6.99. Get ready for bibliophile bedlam as you manage throngs of patrons thirsting for knowledge.

Create your own library by designing it, naming it, and choosing its decor. Set up the environment by placing shelves or arranging furniture to create corridors. Build a literary sanctuary to ensure that the written page is all the rage,

Receive, sort, and organize the greatest classics of world literature the way you prefer. From Shakespeare to Flaubert, to Jules Verne and Machado de Assis: in Libritopia, you'll find all the must-have classics. The question is: can your visitors find them? Add labels to each shelf to classify books by genre, author, year, country, or even color. It’s your library, so make it any way you want.

As this is a library and not a store, you’ll have to keep up with the constant influx of visitors checking books out, returning them, helping patrons find what they’re looking for, and ensuring that your library is a quiet, peaceful place. If it gets too overwhelming for you to manage, you can always collaborate with friends in online co-op. Divide tasks and employ teamwork to meet all the visitors’ needs.

“We’ve always been a big fan of both libraries and gaming, so Libritopia: Librarian Simulator seemed like a great way of combining the two,” said Adrian Laubisch at Aiyra Studio. “This Early Access release is just the beginning too, as Libritopia will receive more ways of organizing your books, new ways to interact with patrons, and even more game modes!”

“When we first played a prototype of Libritopia: Librarian Simulator we were instantly charmed,” said Thiago Diniz, COO at Nuuvem Inc. “We found it utterly hilarious, earnestly endearing, and just a genuine blast to play! We can’t wait to see what kinds of situations players get into trying to manage their libraries!”

New updates are planned for Libritopia adding more books to collect, new game modes, and additional language options in Spanish (EUR), French, Italian, German, Russian, Norwegian, Dutch, Swedish, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Hindi.
