The Library of Last Resort
One talking overdue Book. An afternoon of extraordinary Library business. Marlow Finch came to return the Book; the Book has been promoted, the Returns Desk insists it is not here, and the closing bell is gathering overhead.

The game beneath the story
A story that answers you. A world that holds.
Every adventure is built as an authored game: its people, its places, its puzzles, and its ending were decided before you arrived. You act in your own words, and the story answers that action in the moment.
Beneath the narration the game holds the map, the inventory, the discoveries, the puzzles, and the chapter you are in. A surprising valid approach can work, and what you change stays changed.

The platform beneath every adventure
Every adventure is its own game.
A harbor city, a missing moon, a cinema’s last showing, a hall of mirrors, a house seen at nose level: each brings its own rules, cast, objects, discoveries and consequences.
A world with rules
Maps, inventories, relationships, clocks, evidence, and objects create the game beneath the narration.
Puzzles with many approaches
Notice what matters, combine what you find, test ideas in your own words, and earn the next opening.
An ending the author wrote
Every adventure builds toward a conclusion shaped by what you discovered, changed, and chose.
Behind the adventures
More about Adventures
Two pages on the product site tell the rest: how an adventure is made, and how Adventures works with the people who make them.
How an adventure is made
People make the world. The storyteller performs it.
The people, places, puzzles, and endings of every adventure are written and directed before anyone plays, and every published adventure carries its credits. The product site tells the story of how.
How adventures are madeAuthors and illustrators
Adventures is a publisher as well as a game.
How it works with authors, illustrators, and art directors, and the first pilot collaborations, are on the product’s own page.
