Underneath their Covers

Description

In *Underneath their Covers*, you step into a mysterious library where stories come to life—literally. When the librarian vanishes without a trace, you're drawn into a surreal world where book genres take human form. As you navigate the shifting shelves and hidden passages, you'll form deep connections with three distinct genre characters, each embodying the essence of their literary roots. Through heartfelt conversations and quiet moments, you'll uncover secrets about the library, the missing caretaker, and the truth behind appearances. More than just a search, this journey explores how stories shape us and how bonds can form in the most unexpected ways. Developed by Ani Carol, Skyler Rickard, Justin Marrero, and Rudy Mix for the CTK 2024 "Reading" Game Jam, the game won Best Digital Game for its touching narrative and imaginative design. Sometimes, the most important stories are the ones hidden underneath their covers.
