Hopelessly stuck for some 3-4 evenings in a row on the book/shelf puzzle... Seems sort of linked to the piece of paper with scribbles on the desk but not sure if it's a red herring. :(( Hints would be appreciated! Great graphics though~ There were some things I clicked that resulted in an audio cue but I don't think those were visible items. Not sure if these were intended.

Thanks so much! With the drawers I didn't have enough time to create art for the inside of them, or their contents, so I just made it solely audio based, when you click on a drawer, if it's empty it just makes a drawer opening and closing sound, or if there's something inside the drawer it makes the sound of that item to indicate you collected the item.
For the purple books puzzle you are on the right track with looking at the paper on the desk. There are also audio cues that go along with that puzzle that should help you with figuring out what to do, however the audio mixing was the last thing I did for this game, I was super tired and running out of time, so it isn't as polished as I'd like, and the audio cues for that puzzle are really quiet, so it might help to turn up the volume. If you have the fireplace going, I'd advice clicking on the fire to put it out so you can hear better, you can always re-light the fire.
All of the purple books will have audio clues when clicked in the correct order, and you’re correct to be trying the order on the paper on the desk. Many of the designs are similar to each other, just mirrored, so make sure you’re looking carefully at the designs and clicking the right book.
Or, if you’d like to DM me on discord, @seedborne, I can send you the exact puzzle solution.
