Starship Alexandria

Starship Alexandria is a browser-based roguelike set in a post-apocalyptic future where classic literature has been lost. Players explore the ruins of Earth from a library ship in orbit, recovering fragments of beloved books, encountering NPCs with stories to tell, and rebuilding humanity's literary heritage one expedition at a time.

Features

• Procedural exploration — Every expedition generates a new ruin to explore using rot.js, with rooms, corridors, rubble, and flooded passages
• Real literature — Collect fragments of actual public-domain texts: Dante's Inferno, Shakespeare's The Tempest, Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Spenser's Faerie Queene, Dickinson's poetry, and passages from the King James Bible
• Fog of war & flashlight — Limited visibility with a battery-powered flashlight that dims over time but never goes dark
• Turn-based, no pressure — Move at your own pace on a tile grid; there is no player death and no time limit
• NPCs & lore — Meet survivors sheltering in the ruins, read water-damaged journals, unlock vaults with hidden codes
• Ship library — Return to the Alexandria to browse your growing collection and read the texts you've recovered
• Accessibility-first — Full keyboard navigation, ARIA live regions for game events, text-to-speech for dialogue and book text, high-contrast player and interactive highlights
