Differlands

Differlands is a spot-the-difference game set in the Magic Library, an archive in Differlands that holds books, documents and records from across the multiverse. As a Special Librarian, you help protect the library’s precious records and the worlds contained in its books from Doodlers, mischievous fairies that alter and eventually consume their contents.

The Magic Library

Librarians from many kinds of beings work in sections suited to their specialties, protecting and managing records and providing information to clients from multiple dimensions, including gods. The books matter both for the worlds they contain and for the memories or guidance they can hold for those with a personal connection to them. Librarians also have the task of exterminating Doodlers, which hide in books in disguise.

Doodlers are about the size of a human child’s hand and look like clusters of circular scribbles. They can clump together or separate to cause chaos inside books. If left unchecked, they change the books’ contents until they become incomprehensible, then may consume everything within them. Some books also contain Troublemakers created by Doodlers, who appear in forms such as villains or aliens and harass you.

Find the differences

You compare two views and select differences with the controller. Differences can involve people, objects or landscapes; some stages call for close attention to your surroundings, while others have you compare a small map with a much larger landscape. Doodlers hide in parts of some pictures, and finding them all restores the damaged magic books.

You can use items to clear obstacles and locate Doodlers. A raygun helps deal with alien Troublemakers, while a watergun removes paint. Your stage score depends on your performance, and avoiding mistakes and finding differences quickly help you earn a higher score. The best reward calls for sharp eyes, patience and a little luck.
