About the Game

Before you lies the Deep Library, a seemingly endless library with books collected from unknown places.  The rarest books on its shelves are very valuable to your collection, if you can bring them back to the library's atrium.  However, the deeper you go, the more likely you are to encounter the strange and terrifying entities that maintain the library... entities that do not take kindly to visitors...

From the original creator of "Slender: The Eight Pages" comes this first-person liminal horror roguelite, in which you must collect and escape with books from the library, which are added to your collection.  As your collection grows, you gain resources to purchase upgrades for future runs, while also gaining the ability to venture deeper into the library.

FEATURES:

  • A sprawling, procedurally-generated library; each Chamber retains the same layout for everyone, but how they connect each run is different.

  • Entities that roam the Chambers, looking for you; the deeper you go, the more entities you encounter.

  • Upgrade system; use points gained while building your collection to add or increase abilities such as your stamina level, your flashlight battery life, and even your knowledge of the library.  Points can be refunded and reapplied at will between runs.

  • Leaderboards for the most books retrieved, and the deepest library exploration.

(NOTE:  Book titles and authors are procedurally generated; any resemblance to actual books or authors is purely coincidental.  While steps have been taken to reduce the chance of generating 'inappropriate' or 'offensive' titles, their generation may still be possible; should such titles be generated, please understand that they are neither intentional nor malicious in nature.  If any offensive or inappropriate titles are discovered, please report their Chamber number for review so they can be altered in a future update.  Thanks!)
