Premise

The Library is a panfandom, scifi/steampunk, survival game that sets your character in the middle of a gigantic steampunk library which simply called "The Library". Apparently abandoned for years, only certain floors and sections are working properly, giving the game a post-apocalyptic feel. Your character will be given a room to stay in, but food and clothes need to savaged from the wreckage of the rest of The Library.

In such a state of disrepair, The Library desires your character's help to fix itself, via using the gates to walk within the worlds held within a book and righting the Errors found there. This can mean anything from fighting monsters that escaped one book and got into another, to helping the princess of that book find that frog she's supposed to kiss.

While some of the sections and floors are safe, others hold these same monsters that have escaped from their book's pages. It might be best to keep on guard, or stay within the known safe area.

Because you see, nothing in The Library that lives is real. Not even your character.

How is this all possible you ask? The Library has its ways to do what it needs to in order to survive.

Character Entrance

"Hello and greetings!" The tinny voice wakes you from your slumber, sprawled in a comfy arm chair with a strange-looking book in one of your hands. If you didn't know better, you would have thought you had dozed off after a late night of reading.

"Welcome to The Library!" The voice comes from a table nearby, which holds a small blue hologram outline of something that could be human--you can't see any features within the outline. "Make sure to update yourself on The Rules listed around The Library! The Rules must be followed to assure that all of The Library's guests enjoy their stay with us." What in the world is this place..? Shelves surround you holding thousands of books of very type.

This isn't where you belong. But the hologram patiently explains that you have been selected to help The Library, you will be returned after your help has been obtained. It won't explain any more than that and seems to not even acknowledge it told you anything to begin with. Would you like it to find you a book to read, dear patron of The Library?

Then the strange hologram flickers off and leaves you in the dim light of the study. There's no welcoming committee or safe little white picket fences. Good luck figuring out how your communication Bookmark works and how to get to the safe areas.

Beware the monsters. Remember the Rules of The Library. Don't lose Your Book.
