Terminal Threat/The Library

The Library, released in 2174 for Terminal Threat, was a moderately sized adventure/mystery puzzle experience intended for “Super-Expert” players based in the setting of a private investigator unravelling a mystery related to an old library previously inhabited by a professor who disappeared under mysterious circumstances. It requires aspects of mechanical engineering knowledge, as well as electronics, old telephone networks and codebreaking. The campaign was composed of several rooms, which uniquely had many paths that could be taken through them, allowing their puzzles to be solved in a variety of different manners. Also unique to the campaign was the complete lack of player radios, owing to both its historical theme and its Super-Expert difficulty.
