i was thinking it would be a fun lore thing if there were readable (as in text boxes similer to signs) books that were more about some one else trying to survive the end. and the developers could avoid having to do it themselves but just haviing the people from The Library that make unofficial stories either just added them or write new one.

There are survivor’s notes, which are similar to what you’re talking about.

Scattered around, in the same places you’ll find flyers. You’ll sometimes find one in a bookshelf. They’re pretty rare.

We have those, but they’re really short, I think @Umbra.Animo means some long-form content like a short story size.

We’d need a little better support for formatting longer text, but I could see doing this.
