The Deep Library

The Deep Library is a first-person horror roguelite about collecting books from a seemingly endless library and bringing them back to its atrium. The books come from unknown places, and the rarest are valuable additions to your collection. Strange entities maintain the library and may attack visitors; the deeper you explore, the more likely you are to encounter them.

Explore the library

The library is made up of procedurally generated Chambers. Each Chamber keeps the same layout for everyone, but the way the Chambers connect changes with each run. Entities roam the Chambers looking for you, and you encounter more of them as you venture deeper.

Grow your collection

Books you retrieve become part of your collection. As it grows, you gain resources to buy upgrades for future runs and the ability to explore deeper. Points earned while building your collection can add to or improve abilities such as stamina, flashlight battery life and knowledge of the library. You can refund and reapply these points between runs.

Leaderboards

Leaderboards track the most books retrieved and the deepest library exploration. Book titles and authors are procedurally generated, and may sometimes be inappropriate or offensive.
