The Infinite Library

"I NEED YOUR HELP! What story do you want to play? Write it in the comments, or my world will die!" - The Librarian

Welcome to The Infinite Library, a Tabletop-RPG inspired prototype interactive fiction system crafted to explore a vast array of stories and genres. Whether you’re into epic adventures, thrilling mysteries, or imaginative fantasies, this platform is designed to be flexible, allowing for endless narrative possibilities. As this project is still in its early stages, your feedback is crucial in shaping its future. I’m excited to see how we can develop and refine this experience together, creating a rich world of stories tailored to your interests.

Key Features:

• Attributes: The four main attributes are always visible on screen and reflect your current condition. They can fluctuate based on the events of the story, successes and failures, and how much you push yourself during skill checks.
• Stats: A flexible stat system that can be used for classic RPG skills or adapted to track simpler character details, such as status effects or even quest notes.
• Dice Rolling: Inspired by tabletop RPGs, our custom dice system brings the excitement of chance into your decisions.
• Inventory: Keep track of items and resources as you progress.
• Visuals: The system supports background images, character portraits, and area maps, complete with a marker showing your movement and position on the map.
• Audio: Ambient audio can play in the background, with additional sound effects to enhance immersion.
• Text-to-Speech: The game features built-in text-to-speech support, allowing you to have the story read aloud (by voices depending on your OS and browser). You can adjust the voice, speed, and volume through the game options.
• Mobile Friendly Layout: The Infinite Library is fully optimized for mobile devices, and can be played on any screen size and resolution larger than 300x300px. Whether you’re on a phone, tablet, or desktop, the experience adapts seamlessly to your device.

What’s Next?

I want to write stories that people are excited to play. Whether it’s an epic fantasy quest, a murder mystery in a monastery, a western shootout, a sci-fi opera, or even a steampunk farm simulator—anything is possible within The Infinite Library.

But I need your help to decide what to focus on next. Please leave feedback and let me know what kinds of stories you’d like to see. Your input will directly shape the future of this project, turning it into something we can all enjoy.

Let me know what you’d like to play, and it will be included as a book in the library.
