This game has been on my "To Be Played" list for too long! The Librarian's Apprentice by @almostbedtime.bsky.social is so good! An infinite library? Easy to learn mechanics? Weird combinations of words for prompts and details? GIVE ME ALL OF IT! Get this game and start exploring these endless halls!
Rene - not surprisingly - has crafted a wonderful tale playing through The Librarian’s Apprentice. It’s got gnosiphages and forbidden places and library spirits and hidden rooms and even ecosystems (eventually)!
And teeth, but we don’t talk about those.
