About The Library of Babel
The Library of Babel is a science fiction adventure set 20,000 years after humanity’s extinction. Advanced robots now run the world and know little about their mythical creators. Their orderly society is thrown into chaos when they discover a library containing everything that has been, is and will ever be written.
Investigate the lockdown
You play as Ludovik, a Seeker sent to investigate a murder in Babylon. When a state of emergency is declared, he follows the murderer’s trail into increasingly dangerous territory and uncovers the mystery behind the Library’s sudden lockdown.
Explore and evade
The world combines vast jungles, abandoned temples and cybernetic inhabitants you can interact with. In hand-drawn 2D environments, you guide Ludovik past deadly obstacles and enemies, relying on agility and stealth rather than violence. Dialogue and inventory management draw on the conventions of 1990s graphic adventure games.
Story and setting
The game tells a philosophical science fiction story inspired by Jorge Luis Borges’ short story The Library of Babel and Apocalypse Now. Its tale explores how we think about infinity.
