A Solo Journaling Game in an Infinite Library

Winner 2024 Crit Awards - Best Solo TTRPG

Infinite, ever-shifting, and sometimes dangerous, the Library exists in the space between worlds and times. Among the many who call it home are the Librarians, and only those who truly understand it may join their ranks. You seek to do so.

The path of a Librarian’s apprentice is a long one. Your current task is designed to test your skills at traversing the Library and finding information. Retrieve the six documents requested by your Librarian before the day is out and you will have completed one more step on your journey.

Good luck.

Delightful, Designer Commentary Helpful

This delightful little game is a fun role-playing experience, combining the vibes of both Borges's Library of Babel and (a more lighthearted take on) Allen's Stygian Library. The format is quite space-limited, though, which can make some of the interplay between the rules a bit confusing. The included designer's commentary clarified the fuzzy corners. Particularly: the Apprentice can Research at any time, but probably not more than once per room, at the potential cost of unearthing a complication. This is intended to be a very self-directed game that doesn't rely on the mechanics to push the player one way or another, and therefore could be a great way to introduce folks to the hobby.
