What is The Archivist?

Play as The Archivist, a time-traveling historian set on recovering lost scrolls from the Library of Alexandria! In this dungeon-like library, solve puzzles, jump,  dodge, and defeat enemies with your trusty pocket watch while the rooms slowly burn away as you attempt to collect all of the scrolls. Do you dare to save all 46 scrolls?

This was a game made for the Stop Killing Games Community Game Jam in 2025. If you are interested, the theme was "Limited Lifetime." We adapted this concept into a top-down puzzle-solving adventure pretty darn well if you ask me. Fun fact: one of the organisers of the game jam actually live-streamed a playthrough of our game on YouTube! In addition to that, I actually was the one who made that cinematic trailer above! (You should watch it) 

Overall, The Archivist is the most notable and most played game I've developed. I had a blast working with my friends on artwork and coding all of the wacky mechanics. If you have a bit of free time and want to try a challenging puzzle game, I recommend this!
