Game Title: The Infinite Library
Playable Link: https://endpaperdev.itch.io/infinite-library
Platform: Browser (Web)
Description: The Infinite Library is a narrative incremental game where you build the realm's greatest library one word at a time. Words become pages, pages become books, and every book belongs to a genre - Fantasy, Science, History, Romance, Crime, or Poetry. Each genre changes how your production works and what discoveries you can make.
As you write, rare Words surface from the Word Stream. Combine them in the Lexicon to craft Phrases with powerful effects, but none of the combinations are documented. You experiment, you discover, you fill shelves. When enough shelves are full, reality buckles under the weight of knowledge. Everything resets. But the Library remembers what you did.
The prestige system isn't just a mechanic, it's the story. Tooltips change between runs. Labels rename themselves. Log entries reference books you haven't written yet. The UI itself tells the narrative.
The demo covers the first prestige tier, about 30-60 minutes of play. I'd love feedback on early pacing, whether the upgrade system feels clear, and anything in the UI that confused you.

Hey, been working on this for a while and the demo's finally out:
https://endpaperdev.itch.io/infinite-library
Basic idea is you write words, words become pages, pages become books. Each book has a genre (Fantasy, Science, Romance, etc.) and each genre changes how things work. Fill enough shelves and reality folds, prestige resets everything, but the Library remembers what you did.
The demo covers the first prestige tier, about 30-60 minutes. There's a Word discovery system, Phrase crafting, and some things hidden in the UI that I won't spoil.
If you try it, I'd love to hear what clicks and what doesn't - especially pacing in the first few minutes. This is the stage where feedback can really change things!
