All Quiet on the Library Front

Author:Michael S. Phillips
Genre:Slice of life
Released:1995
Review:

A small game set in a future in which adventure games are considered high art. You're a college student writing a paper about Graham Nelson, and must retrieve a book about him from the library. Packed with references to other games. Features gentle built-in hints.

Rating: ****
