After trading space babies and running people over with a truck, Strange Scaffold want you to organise a haunted library in Something is Wrong with the Library
Strange Scaffold, the developer known for genre-defying experimental games, has announced their latest project: “Something is Wrong with the Library,” unveiled via a new trailer.
The game tasks players with organizing a haunted library, but the supernatural setting masks a grounded premise—gentrification serves as the core theme and central conflict. According to the trailer’s opening, the protagonist discovers their workplace has been filled with corpses, establishing the dark and absurdist tone characteristic of Strange Scaffold’s portfolio.
Strange Scaffold has built a reputation for creating unconventional games that resist easy categorization. Previous titles have explored diverse and offbeat concepts, including a game about isekai mechanics, another centered on trading space babies on a stock market, and a third exploring contentious relationship dynamics. This track record positions them as developers prioritizing experimental, darkly comedic, and narrative-driven experiences.
The library-based game continues this tradition, blending administrative gameplay—organizing the library—with horror and social commentary through its gentrification narrative. The combination suggests Something is Wrong with the Library will merge mundane management mechanics with Strange Scaffold’s characteristic irreverent storytelling and thematic depth. While the trailer has been released, further details about platforms, release date, and specific gameplay mechanics remain unclear from the available information.
