If you are listening to this...you are listening to a pre-recorded message from 20,000 years ago. Once, humanity was around this beautiful planet we called Earth, but...now humanity is extinct.
Today we are going to be talking about a game called Library of Babel...for whoever is listening to this audio tape.
Summary:
The Library of Babel welcomes 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.
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 lockdown.
My Experience:
Another game genre I haven't been around much, and this one focuses on stealth and adventure.
Very refreshing to say about this game and listening to the story and seeing how everything is going into chaos
Even though this is a puzzle game, I found this game incredibly interesting and loved the story!
