Shelf Destruct

You're a mischievous fairy, and the Librarian has just finished tidying her moonlit library. Knock every book off the shelves before she can put them all back.

Swat books, spend what each shelf drops on its own upgrades, and hire helpers: a library cat, a bookworm, a draft, a poltergeist and stranger things. Cast Spellbound to slow her to a crawl for the final push.

Every bookcase you clear earns a Golden Bookmark for your talent tree, then a bigger bookcase and a faster Librarian. Fifteen bookcases across the Reading Room, the Restricted Section and the Archive, each with new shelves and new tricks. From bookcase 15, fly off to a new library and earn Moonstones for the Fairy Ring.

For Windows, Mac and Linux. Try it free first: the demo is the whole Reading Room (five bookcases), as a download below or in your browser at jalcyon.itch.io/shelf-destruct-demo. Your progress from the downloadable demo carries over to the full game.

On a Mac, the first time you open it, right-click the app and choose Open: it isn't notarized by Apple.
