Set in a bustling metropolitan library that doubles as a hub for time travelers, players assume the role of a novice archivist who accidentally stumbles upon a magical book that brings the characters from history to life. Each chapter presents a new mystery to solve involving historical figures who are hilariously confused about their anachronistic settings. Players must gather clues, engage in witty banter with these figures, and make choices that will not only determine the outcome of the story but also reveal unknown facets about the characters' pasts, with the potential to alter history itself – for better or worse!
