The Forbidden Library
The Forbidden Library is a short atmospheric point-and-click exploration game where you step into a museum unlike any other, a place where banned books are not hidden… but displayed.
About the Game
You enter a mysterious library where each room represents a different country and its history of censorship. Books once silenced by governments now sit on dusty shelves, waiting to be discovered.
As you explore, you will uncover:
- The stories behind controversial and forbidden works
- The reasons why they were censored
- The systems that tried to erase them
Gameplay
Classic point-and-click exploration. Click on books to read short descriptions and historical context. Discover hidden connections between censorship across the world. No combat, no time pressure: just exploration and atmosphere.
Final Note
This game explores the history of censorship through literature. Some books were banned. Some ideas were silenced. None were forgotten.
Read whatever you want without limits.

It's crazy because I am from USA and 2 out of the 3 books listed under USA I not only had to read and of course write a report on both books but we watched both movies in class as well....
