What is Marisa!ReturnTheBook!?

A single-player, top-down incremental game set in Gensoukyo, where Alice organizes an effort to recover books Marisa has taken. You create dolls to attack her fortified house, assign allies to carry books back for points, and spend those points on upgrades and recruits. Completing the idle portion unlocks a dungeon mode with different difficulty levels.
