Features & Capabilities

The Library of Babel invites 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. Inspired by Jorge Luis Borges’ short story of the same name.

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 lock-down. 

Featuring a world full of vast jungles, abandoned temples, and plentiful cybernetic inhabitants to interact with, The Library of Babel promises both a thrilling adventure full of danger and intrigue, and a thoughtful, atmospheric tale of how we consider infinity. 

• An overgrown yet futuristic world with beautifully hand-drawn 2D environments. • Deadly obstacles and even deadlier enemies to avoid, as Ludovik prefers agility and stealth over violence. • Dialogue and Inventory management systems reminiscent of the Graphic Adventure games of the 90’s. • Moody, philosophical science fiction story inspired by The Library of Babel and Apocalypse Now.

User Reviews

The Library of Babel boasts stunning visuals, solid metroidvania-style platforming, and an intriguing lore that many players appreciate. The game excels in art direction and overall concept, with some praise for the soundtrack. However, players frequently encounter bugs, crashes, and progress blockers that halt advancement. Core platforming suffers from unreliable ledge grabs and broken hitboxes, often making jumps frustrating. A pay-to-unlock-full-game model, plus inconsistent audio settings and occasional missing sound, compounds the frustration. Some players also report unclear progression paths and lack of helpful hints.

Pros

Stunning visuals/graphics and art style
Engaging gameplay and level design with a Metroidvania/parkour vibe
Intriguing story and lore
Strong soundtrack/music when it plays well

Cons

Frequent bugs, crashes, and progression blockers that halt advancement
Broken hitboxes/ledge grabs that undermine platforming
Pay-to-unlock-full-game model / bait-and-switch
Audio issues and lack of adjustable audio settings
Unclear progression paths and lack of helpful hints

Keep trying to play the game and I get kicked to home screen from the game app. The app doesn’t crash entirely but boots me to main menu. Running IPhone 16+ Version 26.3.1 Serial number 69L4Y2F2H2

I would rate this game a solid 4 out of 5 based on visuals, music, audio, lore and story. The parkour mechanics are fine once you get used to them. I just wish I could buy the game.
