Maumau and the Labyrinth

Sadly has heavy hardware/software problems. Does not wanna work.

To get the obvious main negative points out of the way first: the art is kinda low resolution, the fullscreen/window sizing is very finnicky, the scenes don't have great pacing, and the english translation should get some help. But... if you like the 2.5D dungeon crawler gameplay and the artstyle anyways, it does hold up enough to keep coming back. Exploration and map design is decent, and once you get past the intro arc the story & map options open up quite a bit. (and yes I'm using the patch)

Borked on new Proton versions under Linux. Proton 7 and older work, but all character and enemy textures are missing. There is no proper resolution scaling, so the game looks blurry full-screen. UI is extremely ugly and obtrusive, with a giant interface for moving your character, despite keyboard controls allowing you to move without using this interface; it seems like it was designed for touch screen rather than PC. No controller support. Hard to gather whether I'd like the game if I didn't have these issue.

I loved this game and it made me sad when i finally finished it. I loved the characters so much, Barbaria and the little beast warrior were my two favorites, the absolute cutest. Though I'm not a fan of the unavoidable violation scenes, and i did not like most of the H scenes, generally I'm still happy i played and experienced the story, and got to go on an adventure with Maomao and her cute friends. I hope in the future we get to see her again!

an interesting dungeon crawler
