About The Library of Babel
Inspired by Jorge Luis Borges’ short story of the same name, The Library of Babel invites you to a world 20,000 years after the extinction of humanity. The world is now run by advanced robots, who know very little about their mythical creators. All is well and orderly in a society run by robots, until the discovery of a library that contains everything that has, is, and will ever be written— the perfect harbinger of chaos. You play as Ludovik, a Seeker, sent to investigate a murder case in Babylon. When a state of emergency is suddenly declared, Ludovik finds himself in increasingly dangerous territory as he follows the murderer’s trail and unravels the mystery behind the Library’s sudden lockdown. Featuring a world full of vast jungles, abandoned temples, and plentiful cybernetic inhabitants to interact with, The Library of Babel promises both a thrilling adventure full of danger and intrigue, and a thoughtful, atmospheric tale of how we consider infinity. ◆ An overgrown yet futuristic world with beautifully hand-drawn 2D environments. ◆ Deadly obstacles and even deadlier enemies to avoid, as Ludovik prefers agility and stealth over violence. ◆ Dialogue and Inventory management systems reminiscent of the Graphic Adventure games of the 90’s. ◆ A moody, philosophical science fiction story inspired by The Library of Babel and Apocalypse Now.

The Library of Babel: Switch vs Steam prices
The Library of Babel is currently cheaper on the Nintendo Switch eShop than on Steam in 44 of the 44 countries where we can compare both stores — the biggest gap is Sweden, where the Switch version costs about $3.51 against $20.87 on Steam, a saving of roughly $17.36.
Why the gap? Nintendo and Steam price the same game independently. Each eShop sets its own price in local currency for its country, while Steam sells through regional currency zones with their own price points. Exchange rates move daily, so two sticker prices that match on paper can differ in real terms. Both stores are also region-locked: you generally buy from the store your account belongs to, which is why a cheaper region usually needs that region's gift card or wallet top-up. All Switch-vs-Steam figures on this page are USD conversions taken when prices were last checked.
