# INITIUM - COMMENTARIUS (1of7) The Players

Daniel names the audience as seekers and explains how he condensed his life into Initium: "I took 446 pages, incredibly good book, 140-some videos, the transcripts, journals for years and years, all of my life story." He wanted it small enough for a tombstone. It shows the library itself becoming the game.
