Library Of Ruina

Library of Ruina is the follow-up to Project Moon's Lobotomy Corporation, taking place in the same world and setting. Players take the role of Roland, the self-proclaimed "washed up" j Fixer. After his sudden appearance in the Library, Roland finds himself assisting the director, Angela, in her search for the "One Absolute Book." To obtain this book, they must invite Guests to the library – Guests who meet their end during their reception are transformed into Books, guiding them to new Guests, and eventually the One Absolute Book. In this Library Battle Simulation, players battle guests that arrive in the Library that require a unique strategy to defeat.

During the battle, both sides roll dice to determine who moves first. A match begins when two characters target each other with attacks. Both sides roll dice, and the side with the higher roll wins. This allows them to damage the opponent – a combination of tactics and luck will lead players to victory. Winning a battle turns guests into Books, which can be extracted to Pages to create equipment or trigger various effects, expanding the strategies available for the next battle. Checking the stats and weaknesses of guests before each battle begins and putting together unique Battle Pages to expand strategic approaches throughout the game is essential. This customization and evolving strategy throughout Library of Ruina allows for a deep, tactical deckbuilding experience.
