About the Game

Inspired by old-school shooters like Wolfenstein 3D, The Tome of All Tales is a minimalist boomer shooter that offers a new story in a different setting every day.

A new story each day!

Each and every day, The Tome of All Tales will generate a new old school FPS adventure with different levels, enemies and weapons. Each story takes 10 to 15 minutes to complete, making it the perfect "coffee break" shooter.

Endless possibilities

Today you're shooting aliens with your pulse rifle in a derelict spaceship, maybe tomorrow you'll swing your wand of fireball to keep skeletons away in a dark dungeon or face hordes of zombies in a ruined city. There's just no way to know what surprise is in store.

A trip back in time

The Tome of All Tales is a love letter to (very) old-school shooters such as Wolfenstein 3D, Blake Stone, Catacomb 3D and Nitemare 3D, back when walls were orthogonal and doors slid horizontally. Great care has been taken to emulate the feel and look of proto-FPS of the early '90s, while adding modern mechanics such as a dash and a combo system.

Play for fun or compete in the leaderboard

With many achievements and five difficulty levels for players of all skills, The Tome of All Tales can be enjoyed as a fun daily mini-game, something like Wordle but with guns. It is also possible to play it in a more competitive way, as the game tracks the best daily and monthly scores in an online leaderboard.

Is the daily story the same for everyone?

Yes. So if you've found a nice shortcut to reach the exit or the location of a juicy powerup, you can share it with your friends, knowing they'll find it too.

At what time does a new story becomes available?

Stories change each day at midnight UTC/GMT.

Do you have a Discord?

Yes, feel free to come and have a chat!

Does The Tome of All Tales uses generative AI in any way?

Nope. Every asset in The Tome of All Tales was hand designed and a combinatory generator picks them from a vast pool of enemies, weapons and levels (think "tabletop RPG encounter tables") to generate stories.
