Ranked from 27 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does you game fit the theme?
---- SPOILERS ---- The books and text in the library, which is inspired by the Library of Babel, aren't actually generated randomly. Some are even deliberately placed. The truth (revealed at the end) is that the game is an AI's coping mechanism to a huge amount of work.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes except the background music and some sound effects. I used free assets attributed in game and in the itch.io game page.

This game has a pretty interesting concept, and is incredibly ambitious for a single week project. I'm impressed you got it all done. Gameplay was a bit confusing and explanations were sparse, but otherwise I think it's an idea worth exploring.

It was an interesting take on the theme, and although it was a bit confusing at first I got the grip of it.
