Product Description

The end of a fairy tale is always cruel.

- What is [Shinigami-hime and the Monster of the Otherworldly Library]?
This is a 2D adventure game where you explore the world of books and the [Unusual Library] where girls who have been transformed into monstrous forms due to trauma are imprisoned, in order to save them.
Players control the main character, a young girl named Mono, and give instructions to her partner, Meeru, to solve puzzles scattered throughout the world of the book.

This book is the third in a picture book series, following "[The Lying Princess and the Blind Prince]" and "[The Wicked King and the Magnificent Hero]".
While retaining the picture book style that is characteristic of the picture book series, using analog illustrations,
This work sets itself apart from previous installments in the series, featuring a somewhat eerie monochrome world and themed around a "picture book that you can play with and destroy."

(1) Graphics and presentation incorporating elements of picture books
The world in which the protagonists adventure employs stage designs that embody the traumas of the girls.
This title offers a world view that feels as if the analog drawings created by designer Sayaka Oda have been directly translated into the game.
It incorporates monochrome expressions based on handwritten drawings, picture book-style illustrations, and storytelling that resembles a read-aloud session.
Because it incorporates many elements of its theme, [picture books], you can enjoy an immersive experience of interacting with the world of books alongside the main characters.

(2) A gimmick where you progress by [breaking] the paper stage.
In the world of the picture book that serves as the setting, you can solve puzzles by destroying and transforming the background graphics.
You can progress through the picture book world by eating or flipping through each stage, which is made of paper.
As the story progresses, you'll acquire skills for Mono and Meeru, so try to solve the various puzzles and gimmicks in each stage.

(3) Unusual x Cute! Characters full of contrasts
Waiting at the very back of the stage are the girls who have been transformed into monstrous forms due to trauma, becoming the 'Shinigami Princesses'.
Let's defeat them and save them, as they have been transformed into horribly different beings.
In addition to the Shinigami Princesses, whose designs combine cute girls with grotesque forms, giving them a somewhat melancholic feel,
Many strange, animal-themed creatures live in the strange library.
