The Library Overdue from Kitsune Studios and Hacksaw Gaming is a 5×4 payline game where a place once dedicated to quiet cognition has transformed into something far more sinister. The shelves no longer simply hold stories; they hold them. Ink drips from the pages, shadows stretch between the rows, and the authors themselves have become darker reflections of their former selves.

Features
Stackways™
Locating Stackways™ symbols on a reel fills it with a stack of winning symbols. Each reel can contain from 2 to 10 symbols. There are two types of Stackways™ symbols:
- Regular Stackways™ symbols with values: 2, 3, 4
- Stackways™ revealing symbols with values: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
A stacked symbol is determined by selecting the symbol that creates the longest winning combination among the symbols on the reels when the Stackways symbol is activated. If multiple combinations of the same length are possible, a symbol is randomly selected from among those possible. Stacking occurs only if the result creates a winning combination.
Stackways™ Booster symbol
Each reel can expand to a maximum of 20 Stackways™. However, the Stackways™ Booster can only increase the minimum Stackways™ value to +10 per reel.
If a Special symbol expands during the Stack The Shelves Spins bonus game, the minimum Stackways™ value is reset to the base guaranteed level, removing any increases from the Stackways™ Booster symbols.
Unlike the Stack The Shelves Spins bonus game, expanding Special symbols do not reset the minimum Stackways™ value in the Overdue Spins bonus game. All increases from the Stackways™ Booster symbols are retained. The Stackways™ Booster symbol can only appear during the Stack the Shelves Spins and Overdue Spins bonus games!
Stack The Shelves Spins
The Stack the Shelves Spins feature is activated by landing 3 FS Scatter symbols simultaneously in the base game. This awards 10 free spins. This bonus retains the mechanics of the base game with the addition of Special and Stackways™ Booster symbols.
Players will be randomly assigned two symbols, which will become Special symbols and appear with a gold border. Special symbols will form stacks and award winnings if they appear simultaneously on 3 or more reels; the indicators under the corresponding reels will light up and display a number from 2 to 10. These reels will then be filled with the specified number of winning symbols.
In addition to the Special symbol, the Stackways™ symbol can also appear on the reels during Free Spins. When landing, the Stackways™ symbol acts as a Special symbol, further increasing the stack on the reel by the specified amount, with the potential for up to 20 Stackways™ per reel.
At the bottom of each reel is a number showing how many Stackways™ were created when one of the Special symbols expanded. When a Stackways™ symbol is activated on a reel, a lower number is initially displayed next to the original Stackways™ value. These values are then combined, increasing the total number of Stackways™ on the reel. For example, if the first reel has a Stackways™ symbol with a value of 5, and the Special symbol adds an additional Stackways™ value of 2, the total expanded Stackways™ value for that reel would be 7.
The Stackways™ symbol is only activated if the Special symbol is part of a winning stack on the reel where it appears. The Stackways™ Booster symbol can appear on the reels at any time during the bonus feature. Each Booster increases the minimum Stackways™ value on all reels by +1.
Each reel can expand to a maximum of 20 Stackways™. However, the Stackways™ Booster can only increase the minimum Stackways™ value to +10 per reel. If a Special symbol expands, the minimum Stackways™ value is reset to the base guaranteed level, removing any increases from Stackways™ Booster symbols.
The feature also offers the chance to earn additional free spins or bonus upgrades:
- 2 FS Scatter symbols: award +2 extra spins.
- 3 FS Scatter symbols: award +4 extra spins.
- 4 FS Scatter symbols: upgrade the Overdue Spins feature and award 4 extra spins.
Overdue Spins
The Overdue Spins feature is activated when four FS Scatter symbols appear simultaneously in the base game. This awards 10 free spins. This bonus retains the mechanics of the Stack The Shelves Spins bonus with one important difference. Unlike the Stack The Shelves Spins bonus, expanding Special symbols do not reset the minimum Stackways™ value. All increases from Stackways™ Booster symbols are retained.
The feature also offers the chance to earn additional free spins:
- 2 FS Scatter symbols: award +2 additional spins.
- 3 FS Scatter symbols: award +4 additional spins.
Win Ways
The winning combination requirements stated in the main game also apply during bonus features or free spins, unless otherwise stated. Each bet entitles you to all winning combinations, unless otherwise stated.
You win when matching symbols appear on adjacent reels from left to right, starting with the leftmost reel. Each winning combination of matching symbols creates a winning path. The number of possible paths in the base game is 100,000 and up to 3,200,000 in bonus rounds. Consult the paytable to find the number of symbols required to win.
Information
As the reels spin, the library begins to awaken. Symbols expand, stacks grow, and with each Stackways™ event triggered, the shelves shift and react, reaching a maximum of 20 Stackways™ during bonus rounds.
In the base game, the library remains unstable. Progress through Stackways™ can be reset due to system fluctuations, creating unpredictable changes in the structure from spin to spin.
During bonus features, the library enters a state of increased instability. The Stackways™ Booster increases the frequency of Stackways expansions, allowing the structure to grow with each spin. The Dark Librarian appears next to the reels and watches as the stacks grow and the system becomes increasingly unstable.
With a maximum win of 10,000 times your bet, available in all game modes except the base game.
