Hi! This is my submission for Pigsquads first Summer Slow Jam of 2024!

Here are the directions and hints for my game cause its not been play tested almost at all:

• You can move around with the arrow keys

  
  

  • If you bump into a ghost, the table when there is a exclamation above it, or the sparkling book, a ui screen will show up
    • The ghosts give you quests
    • the table will place a book directly into your inventory
    • the sparkling book contains the credits of the game
  • Any time you are in ui, you can use the Arrow keys to navigate
• You can use the X key to do many different things
  • if you are standing underneath a bookcase, you can use x to open its UI
  • If you are selecting a blank spot, and you click x, it will open your inventory, and you can select a book and hit x again to move the book into the original blank spot
  • if you select a spot with a book, it will open the books description. Sometimes there will be a button that says something like "remove from shelf". selecting this will show your inventory, and place the book in the chosen spot (and swap two books if there is already something in your inventory)
  • selecting green buttons will do a variety of things depending on what the button says.
  • selecting your character will exit the UI, cancelling any actions
• You can use Z at any point to exit a UI menu, and cancel any action.

I plan on reimplementing the game next game jam in gamemaker!
