Our take on The Library of Babel
Rather than centering its adventure on combat, the game casts the protagonist as a stealth-minded investigator. Its platforming, dialogue, and inventory systems combine with a murder trail and a mystery about a library, giving the genre structure a science-fiction and philosophical focus.
What is The Library of Babel?
Play as Ludovik, a Seeker investigating a murder in Babylon, a robot-run world set 20,000 years after humanity's extinction.
When an emergency is declared, follow the murderer's trail through jungles and abandoned temples while uncovering why the Library of Babel has been locked down. The game combines 2D stealth platforming with graphic-adventure elements: Ludovik relies on agility and stealth to get past obstacles and enemies, while dialogue and inventory management shape the adventure. Cybernetic inhabitants populate the world, and the story draws on Borges' short story and explores infinity.
