In The Library of Babel, you take on the role of Ludovik, a Seeker tasked with investigating a murder in the city of Babylon. However, things take a dangerous turn when a state of emergency is declared and Ludovik must navigate through increasingly perilous territory to follow the trail of the murderer and uncover the mystery behind the sudden lock-down of the Library.
The game features a vast and diverse world, filled with lush jungles, abandoned temples, and cybernetic inhabitants to interact with. It promises an exciting adventure filled with danger and intrigue, as well as a thought-provoking tale about the concept of infinity.
The environments in The Library of Babel are beautifully hand-drawn in 2D, creating a unique and immersive atmosphere. As Ludovik, you must use agility and stealth to navigate through deadly obstacles and enemies, as violence is not always the best solution.
The game also features dialogue and inventory management systems that are reminiscent of classic graphic adventure games from the 90s. This adds an extra layer of depth and complexity to the gameplay, allowing players to fully immerse themselves in the world and story.
The story of The Library of Babel is inspired by the famous short story of the same name by Jorge Luis Borges, as well as the film Apocalypse Now. It explores philosophical themes and raises questions about the nature of infinity, making it a unique and thought-provoking gaming experience.
