Begin Your Murder Investigation In Babylon Starting Today With The The Library Of Babel Open Beta Demo

Neon Doctrine — a leading Southeast Asian game publisher of popular indie titles such as Yuppie Psycho, The Legend of Tianding, Lamentum, and the acclaimed SIMULACRA series — and developer Tanuki Game Studio are proud to announce that stealth platformer and graphic adventure game, The Library of Babel, will officially release on April 7, 2023 for Windows PC & Mac, Xbox One and Series X|S, PlayStation 4|5, and Nintendo Switch.

Would-be seekers can begin their murder investigation in the world of Babylon in The Library of Babel open beta demo, available now ahead of the full game’s worldwide release.

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

Ludovik has been sent to Mesopotamia to investigate a murder case. As he arrives at the Colony’s data mining outpost, a state of emergency is declared, severely hindering his progress. With the help of Lei, his contact within the Colony, Ludovik is able to slowly piece together the investigation and follow the trail of the murderer through the neighboring areas, meeting peculiar characters on his journey.You will have to get to know the jungle’s inhabitants and explore its most dangerous recesses to resolve the obscure mystery that surrounds the sudden lockdown of the Library. In this vast and futuristic world inhabited by strange creatures and deadly enemies, you will have to use a mixture of stealth and wit to infiltrate the most guarded areas.

Key Features of The Library of Babel Include:
  • Immersive 2D Babylon: An overgrown yet futuristic world with beautifully hand-drawn 2D environments
  • Classic Systems: Dialogue and Inventory management systems reminiscent of the Graphic Adventure games of the ’90s
