The Strange Library (test: Act One)

You have arrived at your new school but there's been a problem with some of your paperwork and you've been directed to the library to complete your registration.

Led to a special room in the bowels of the library you find yourself imprisoned with a strange assortment of characters for company.

How will you escape?

This is a  work-in-progress as part of a week-long British Library workshop: Fiction as Dialogue: Interactive Fiction Summer School, led by Dr Florencia Minuzzi. 

The story is inspired by Haruki Murakami's 'The Strange Library', with a few nods to Michael Faber's 'Under the Skin'. Acknowledgments also go to Destina Connor (on structure) and Corey Brotherson (on plot and character).
