Features

A new story each day!
Each and every day, The Tome of All Tales will generate a new old school shooter with different levels, enemies and weapons. Each story takes around 15 minutes to complete.

Endless possibilities.
Today you're shooting aliens with your pulse rifle in a derelict spaceship, maybe tomorrow you'll swing your wand of fireball to keep skeletons away in a dark dungeon or face hordes of zombies in a ruined city. There's just no way to know what surprise is in store.

Boom shooter galore!
The Tome of All Tales is a love letter to (very) old-school shooters such as Wolfenstein 3D, Blake Stone, Catacomb 3D and Nitemare 3D, back when walls were orthogonal and doors slid horizontally.

Play for fun, try to beat your past records or compete in the leaderboard!
With five difficulty levels for players of all skills, The Tome of All Tales can be enjoyed as a fun daily mini-game, just like Wordle but with guns. It is also possible to play it in a more "hardcore" way, as the game keeps track of your best victory streaks in each difficulty mode and tracks the best daily and monthly scores in an online leaderboard.

F.A.Q.

Is the daily story the same for everyone?
Yes. So if you've found a nice shortcut to reach the exit or the location of a juicy powerup, you can share it with your friends, knowing they'll find it too.

At what time does a new story becomes available?
Stories change each day at midnight UTC/GMT. Stories do not change until you leave and restart the game, so you don't have to worry about not being able to complete a game

Does The Tome of All Tiles uses generative AI in any way?
Nope. Every game asset of The Tome of All Tales was hand designed and a combinatory generator picks them from tables (think "tabletop RPG encounter tables") to generate unique combinations.
