Description
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.

Ratings and Reviews
The controls are driving me nuts
Visually very strong, interesting story and lots to discover. But the controls are so annoying and unresponsive particularly when jumping.
It’s making it unenjoyable having to do the same part over and over.
Excellent
Edit: I’m adding to my below review as this has been the most fun I’ve had playing a game ever, infact the only other games to even begin to rival this experience is Myst and Inside/Limbo. Its rare I get excited over gameplay but this managed it, it is outrageous that it hasn’t got 5 stars, the length alone is epic, then the story, variety of puzzles which at times were quite hard but so satisfying on completing and gorgeous graphics and side quests are all pitch perfect. Thank you for bringing this to iOS it has brought a smile to my face and it was worth every penny and then more. I only wish I could add more than 5 stars to give it the credit it so deserves on here.
1st review
I’m really enjoying this so far, it took me a minute to get the hang of the controls but now it’s fantastic, great characters and lots to explore, good storyline and I think it will just get better and better. I feel an idiot as I previously said there was no sound, I eventually worked out it’s set very low and you can turn it up you just have to exit out twice to main menu not settings menu. I am now really loving this game and will definitely buy the pass! Amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Stuck due to a bug
Was really enjoying the game.
Finally worked out how to get into the machinery room. Got to the purple anomaly and shot all the bugs! Came out of there and fixed the anomaly but now have a real bug!
I cant clear the text at the bottom of the screen. The button just makes the character jump and now can’t move on.
Emailed the developer a week ago and no reply. Disappointing to have spent so much time on the game and to feel getting close to the end to now find stuck in a glitch.
