About the Game

The First Library is a survival adventure set in a world where knowledge is your most valuable resource. Discover lost writings, establish your personal library, and survive in an unforgiving wilderness. Play alone or together with friends.

Knowledge is Your Power

Your progress is tangible: Find and read ancient books to master new technologies and skills. In this world, there are no classic levels – every scroll and tome you find expands your horizon, allowing you to craft increasingly powerful items and tools.

Build Your Sanctuary

Construct a library that is more than just a house. It is your archive, your sanctuary, and your workshop. Using a modular building system, you can design impressive halls to your own liking and decorate them with the precious trophies of your travels.

Defend Your Legacy

Knowledge breeds envy. As your collection grows more magnificent, you will draw the attention of those who wish to claim these writings for themselves. Prepare to defend your library against intruders who will stop at nothing to reclaim their lost treasures.

YOUR ADVENTURE

Explore & Recover

Roam through forgotten lands in search of knowledge. Gather resources to push deeper into the wilderness and discover the secrets hidden within ruins and mysterious monuments.

Crafting & Progression

Use your gathered knowledge to gear up. Craft specialized armor sets and weapons to brave the dangers of the world. The more you learn, the better prepared you’ll be for the increasingly hazardous environment.

Tactical Combat

Face a living world. Encounter elusive wildlife, brutal creatures, and cunning hunters. Every fight requires strategy – equip yourself wisely and use your surroundings to gain the upper hand.

Boundless Horizons

Your knowledge is the key to more than just one world. Use your insights to open portals and venture into undiscovered dimensions. Each world offers new resources, deadlier foes, and even rarer knowledge waiting to be added to your library.
