About This Game

Year Unknown is a short "walking sim" with a branching narrative. It takes ~1 hour to complete.

Story

Explore The Library, a megastructure the size of the universe, filled with all of humanity's knowledge. To guide you are two Artificial Intelligences, built to process its massive collection of information.

But something else is calling you - a distress call from the center of the universe. The stagnant universe is breaking down, and there may be no way to save it.
