Visual novel

2026

The visual novel Ho visto una sirena! ("I Saw a Mermaid!"), created in 2024 as part of the Bibliogoal! project to promote libraries as places of democracy, is now available for download on the itch.io platform.

Ottavio knows the library where he has worked like the back of his hand, and even on his last day before retirement he has a mission to accomplish: helping Elia, a young visitor, discover everything, absolutely everything, about mermaids!

The task won’t be easy: other people are already consulting the books Elia needs. Will Ottavio manage to persuade a child astronaut, a hermit, a pirate captain, and a “cryptoker” to hand them over?

By exploring the library’s spaces over the course of a whole day and interacting with its characters, players can not only help Ottavio but also discover even more about the diverse and colorful world of libraries.
