   Fediverse, I have a slightly unusual request for you. Can you recommend me video games where the main setting is a library, where the main character is a librarian or where the plot revolve heavily around libraries in some way?
   Thank you.

     @Sylvhem Inkbound is the new game by the Monster Train devs, a very tight, chill, and smooth roguelike, and is set in a library from which you enter storybooks to fight monsters.

     @Sylvhem I wrote a text adventure game a few years ago which was set in a library, but I don't know if I have a copy anymore.

     I feel like other text adventures might be set in libraries, they're on the edge of my brain but I can't summon them forth.

     There's definitely a library sequence, or at least a multiple Book sequence in Lost Pig. At least I think there is.

     @Sylvhem there are some interesting adaptations of Borges's Library of Babel, like https://keiwan.itch.io/library-of-babel-3d .
