You are locked in a library and need to put away books before you can leave. An otherwordly presence really doesn't want you to shelve those books. Avoid it, complete your objectives, and escape.
There is a map of the area on the wall of the starting room. If you complete the objectives the exit door is in the zone to the upper left of the map.

Really don't like horror games, but poked around with it a bit.
In my mind, the atmosphere works well, though I did "cheat" once and turn the brightness all the way up.
Will partially agree with others on holding the mouse button being annoying. I think requiring it for the books is OK, but it took me a bit to even get out of the first room since I was just clicking the door instead of click and dragging.
The biggest change I would make it adding some indicators to the books you need to pick up, and the destination slot. Took me like 30 seconds or so of slowly moving the cursor over every single item in the section to locate the book I needed to grab. And similarly, when asked to shelve a book it took a bit to actually locate the slot it was supposed to go which was, on the surface, no different than any of the other slots. Maybe having them flash occasionally or something would help.
We'll be adding an interaction icon that indicates the need to drag the doors, to begin with.
We discussed this briefly after receiving feedback. We'll likely tie the degree of affordance to the difficulty setting, with easy having a persistent glow to indicate both objective books and return slots.
