Seeing Re(a)d

You are a very chill librarian with a knack for hurling books at very unchill situations.

As a librarian, you encounter a group of noisy, inconsiderate patrons. In a moment of pure rage, you sling  'The Life Changing Miracle of Shushing' and discover you possess an extraordinary ability - the ability to imbue people with attributes that is the subject of the book you hit them with.

📚     📚     📚   

Description: 
We were inspired by games like Pengo and Wack-a-Mole, with challenging yet engaging mechanics. We wanted to create a game without the implication of violence that many arcade games bring with them.

The Librarian though out-numbered, stands their ground with good intentions and a stubborn resiliency. The objective is to resolve conflict by defusing annoying situations using books, a mechanic for communication and education. 

Controls:
