The game's story takes the form of a Visual Novel. Roland, a below-grade Fixer, one day finds himself in the titular library, and in the company of Angela. After a scuffle caused by Angela demanding to know how he was trespassing, she recruits him as an envoy to send out calling cards for guests. If they choose to accept, they must survive an Ordeal; if they win, they can take any book they want. If they lose, they will become a book in the Library.
