About The Ancient Labyrinth

The Ancient Labyrinth is a psychological horror game set in a mysterious labyrinth which hides a terrible secret.
Play as a man who has lost his memory, isolated from the rest of the world and trapped for some strange reason in this claustrophobic labyrinth, hunted by a frightening monster that will hunt you the whole time.
Take advantage of your surroundings, hide yourself in the darkness and solve the maze's intricate puzzles.
Will you be brave enough to take on this nightmare and discover the mystery behind this creepy place?

Strengths of the game:


  • Tension-filled atmosphere
  • Evocative Egyptian setting
  • Stealth gameplay based on puzzle solving, exploration and your ability to hide yourself from the monster
  • Great monster's artificial intelligence that will make you feel stalked throughout the game
  • Game lore full of dark secrets
  • Replayable thanks to two different endings and the rank system that allows you to compare your results with those of other players

My buddy and fellow streamer SilentProtagonist bought me the game for belated Christmas, and I challenged him (and myself) to a first playthrough on stream with him commenatating. I was pleasantly surprised on how well done this game was for a Unity Free-Asset game, with wonderful mapping, great puzzles that stumped me a few times, and a monster that scared the holy f***-nuts outta me. This game deserves more time in the limelight and I will certainly be trying a 100% run and possibly a speedrun. Thank you for the game, Silent, I still love/hate you for this. X3

My original intention for this was to write a scathing review about how this game isn't any fun, simply too dark, and the Easy mode should've allowed the player infinite saves at the Save-points. However, after grinding it out and sticking to the game, I actually ended up deriving enjoyment from the whole experience as it stands. I even played it twice so that I could experience the Good and Bad endings. I think the game really is too dark at first because you can't see any of the beautiful environments the author created, but it becomes a bit easier once the thunder and lightning start when you have 4 out of the 8 gems, because then at least the place becomes illuminated once in a while without needing to pull out the torch. While this is not my favorite survival horror game ever, I really like the setting since no one ever does ancient Egypt for this, and I think Nicola did a really good job here. I hope we see more from him in the future because he is very talented. It took me a while to love this game, but eventually I got there. Thank you Nicola for creating this experience for us.

Lots of attention to detail and care was put into this. I feel like if it got remade today, with better animations and models, it would be a cult classic for maze lovers.

The Game Is Actually Fantastic. The Puzzles And Unlocks Are Interesting. Easy Mode Has 4 Saves (Which I Didn't Realize Until It Was Too Late!) This Game Could Benefit From A "Very Easy" Mode With Unlimited Saves. I Guess That Would Be My Only Criticism. My Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDFuCIoTwWA
