Strange Scaffold just dropped the trailer for Something is Wrong with the Library and the premise is peak unhinged indie chaos. One night in a mountain town library run by a billionaire who literally walls up unhoused people, now haunted AF, and you gotta Dewey Decimal your way through hundreds of real books while the walls whisper back. Xalavier Nelson Jr. (the Clickolding and I Am Your Beast guy) is out here making organizing sims terrifying and that's exactly the energy we needed.

The studio's teasing a fully voiced story, a Modular Chaos System so every playthrough spits out different books, and manifestations like "The Drowning Room" because of course there's a drowning room. It's launching on Steam this fall, and the teaser already racked up 23k views in hours on X with the caption straight-up calling it "a library haunted by blood and meat."

Community's eating it up in the replies—people are already memeing the billionaire landlord ghost angle and calling dibs on the librarian route. If this hits like El Paso, Elsewhere did, we're looking at another Strange Scaffold cult classic where the gameplay loop sounds boring on paper and actually slaps once the haunts kick in. Shelve or be shelved, gamers.
