Once Upon a Shelf

A cursed cottage

Once Upon a Shelf is a PC tidying game about recovering belongings stolen by a boggart. You arrive at a secluded cottage to find it empty except for a seemingly dead crow. Each night, a curse scatters everything from the cellar shelves into a heap, with one of your stolen belongings hidden underneath.

Sorting the cellar

You sort items from the central heap back onto the shelves in the cellar’s rooms. The curse affects different rooms and shelves in different ways each time, and some shelves become hexed and can’t decide what they want to hold. Watch out for the boggart as you tidy.
