About this game

The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.

Black Cat Book Club is an idle game about a cat reading all the books in the Sorceress' Library and learning Magic along the way.

THE ARCANE LIBRARY

Unlock and read forgotten tomes, each granting a unique Upgrade

Help the cat decipher ancient texts, inspired by real-world traditions: Glyphs will consume Focus and reveal their meaning, advancing your progress on a book.

Learn and cast magic spells: sigils, summoning seals, alchemy, and astral magic.

MAKE IT YOURS

Choose from various fur patterns, eye colors and accessories for your cat and make every nook of the tower the coziest reading spot by unlocking magical artifacts and decorations.

DESKTOP COMPANION

The black cat will keep you company while you relax, work, or study. You can move and resize the library, zoom in to take a closer look, and be as active or chill as you wish.
