In The Library of Babel, Seeker protagonist Ludovik has been sent to Mesopotamia to investigate a murder case. As he arrives at the Colony’s data mining outpost, a state of emergency is declared, severely hindering his progress. With the help of Lei, his contact within the Colony, Ludovik is able to slowly piece together the investigation and follow the trail of the murderer through the neighboring areas, meeting peculiar characters on his journey.
As Ludovik, you must get to know the jungle’s inhabitants and explore its most dangerous recesses to resolve the obscure mystery that surrounds the sudden lockdown of the Library. In this vast and futuristic world, inhabited by strange creatures and deadly enemies, you’ll utilize a mixture of stealth and wit to infiltrate the most guarded areas.
Key Features of The Library of Babel Include:
- Immersive 2D Babylon: An overgrown yet futuristic world with beautifully hand-drawn 2D environments
- Classic Systems: Dialogue and inventory management systems reminiscent of the Graphic Adventure games of the ’90s
- Dangerous Environment: Deadly obstacles and even deadlier enemies to avoid, as Ludovik prefers agility and stealth over violence
- Stealth Is King: Ludovik must maneuver around the terrain as quietly as possible, whether that’s climbing to new heights or silently taking down enemies
