While talking about my Human Parser PTMoMNBM, and related text and retro game projects, Michael told me about The Brittish Library Simulator. A retro-style game made with bitsy, this simulator lets one navigate the an '8-bit-esque' version of the library. Or well, it provides a glimse into it: you can walk around, but cannot access the actual library items. In this way, it does provide a nice view of the library, but it begs the question if something like this is possible to actually navigate through something like a library. Michael suggested this wiki. This seems to be a technical challenge, but potentially very, very interesting. However, unless such a project takes a file to generate a 'library', a project like that does stay inside this bubble. That said, more generally a game as a navigational tool opens up a lot of possibilities (to name one: a library of interview snippets, framed in a scifi setting where a player collects lost memories)
