Description

The Library of Babel invites you to a world 20,000 years after the extinction of humanity. The world is now run by advanced robots, who know very little about their mythical creators. All is well and orderly in a society run by robots, until the discovery of a library that contains everything that has, is, and will ever be written— the perfect harbinger of chaos. Inspired by Jorge Luis Borges’ short story of the same name.

You play as Ludovik, a Seeker, sent to investigate a murder case in Babylon. When a state of emergency is suddenly declared, Ludovik finds himself in increasingly dangerous territory as he follows the murderer’s trail and unravels the mystery behind the Library’s sudden lock-down. 

Featuring a world full of vast jungles, abandoned temples, and plentiful cybernetic inhabitants to interact with, The Library of Babel promises both a thrilling adventure full of danger and intrigue, and a thoughtful, atmospheric tale of how we consider infinity. 

• An overgrown yet futuristic world with beautifully hand-drawn 2D environments.
• Deadly obstacles and even deadlier enemies to avoid, as Ludovik prefers agility and stealth over violence.
• Dialogue and Inventory management systems reminiscent of the Graphic Adventure games of the 90’s.
• Moody, philosophical science fiction story inspired by The Library of Babel and Apocalypse Now.

Editors’ Notes

Solve a murder mystery 20,000 years after humanity's extinction in this gorgeous, hand-drawn stealth platformer.

Enjoyable play among frustrations

The concept is cool and the controls are simple. However, there are no settings to control the player character’s movement speed which leads to far too many fails and restarts. The sound will only play in ear buds on Bluetooth with no means to make it otherwise. Sound does not play while mirroring either.

It’s ok but the hitboxes are broken

Good game with good concept but 90% of the game is parkour and 98% of the parkour is grabbing ledges but the hit box for that is extremely broken it’s not even funny. My arms or my head will GO THROUGH the cliff and not even grab on. The only time it does grab on is when you already done it 15 times and at that point it’s just luck. Good game with good concept but fix the hitboxes and maybe tell people they have to play for an hour for any stealth to happen and even when it does happen ITS COMBINED WITH GARBING LEADES WITH BROKEN HITBOXES AND THAT MAKES IT TAKE LONGER BECAUSE THE GUARD WILL LOOK YOUR WAY SO YOU HAVE TO HIDE FOR ANOTHER 30 SECONDS . I’m just saying that this game isn’t even fun because of the broken hitboxes so PLEASE fix it
