About this game
Write words. Fill shelves. Watch reality buckle.
Words become pages. Pages become books. Every book needs a genre, and each genre changes how your library grows. Fill enough shelves and reality folds. Everything resets.
Almost. You rebuild faster, stranger, deeper. And the Library starts to notice you've been here before.
Prestige is the story
Tooltips change between runs. Labels rename themselves. Log entries reference books you haven't written yet.
Five acts. Three endings. One Library that remembers everything.
Core Features
12 Genres, Your Strategy
Horror builds a Dread meter toward devastating bursts. Poetry grants timed global buffs. Romance generates paired words. Your genre balance shapes your path to the ending.
80+ Secret Combinations
Rare Words surface as you write. Combine them into Phrases with powerful effects — none documented. No guide tells you what "Eternal Autobiography Tome" does.
Five Prestige Tiers
Redraft resets your town. Rewrite resets the county. Redaction resets the country. Each tier brings new currencies, new mechanics, and new cracks in the fourth wall.
The Interface Changes Around You
No cutscenes. The story lives in the menus, names that shift between runs, entries that shouldn't exist yet, a Library that speaks through your UI.
Designed to End
~30-50 hours. Three resolution paths. Optional postgame. Complete experience, not a live service.
Also Includes
Scriptorium - merge Words into higher-rarity discoveries
Skill tree with three progression branches
Genre synergy bonuses
Offline progression (up to 24 hours, expandable)
Active play multiplier (3-5x idle rate)
Run history and stats
No ads. No microtransactions. Just the Library.

Endpaper is one person in South West UK, building the kind of incremental I always wanted to find: one that ends, one that means something, one where the systems are the story. Built in Godot 4.6.

New key art
The Infinite Library has new key art. It was painted by Komarca Art, who I commissioned back in August. Everything you can see on the store page now comes from him. The capsules, the logotype, the library itself. Why The old capsule was mine, made with AI image tools, and it was a placeholder from the start. It did a job while I got the game finished. It was never going to be the thing people saw first on launch day. So the AI content disclosure on this page has changed too. It now reads: Key art and store capsules were illustrated by Komarca Art, commissioned by the developer. Some in-game artwork and music were created with generative AI tools. All game design, writing, narrative content, and gameplay systems are the developer's own work. What's next Next Fest, 19 to 26 October. The demo is free and playable right now if you want to see what the art is wrapped around. Play the demoRead full article on Community Announcements (greenfro)AnnouncementsOfficial
