Description
About This Game
Introduction
You wake up as an automaton in the House of Wisdom, a monumental library full of knowledge of all sorts. Explore your surroundings, learn about where you are and figure out what became of your estranged creator.
A new perspective
As an automaton, you can do things that others can't. Protract your telescopic legs to reach previously distant object, or use your scanner lenses to access key information about your surroundings.
Depth of play
Each mechanic can be used in more ways than meets the eye. Both player and protagonist have little to no knowledge of the world around them, which makes acquiring information a crucial part of the experience.
A character-based story
The story highlights many characters with various perspectives on House of Wisdom, its importance and their opinions and worries about the disappearance of the deity they built a library for.
