About The Labyrinth
The Labyrinth is a text-based dungeon crawler with an emphasis on combat and looting. Take a party of 4 heroes on a quest to purge an underground dungeon of a great evil lurking within. The dungeon is filled with both spirits and monsters that will either help you on your journey or attempt to stop you in your tracks!
Features
Loot your way through a procedural dungeon. The floors generate endlessly, and with many room types there's plenty of fresh encounters as you delve deeper into the dungeon.
Use tactics to fight hoards of enemies. The enemies are smart and work together in their attempt to defeat you. Use your party's many abilities to synergize with each other to gain the upper hand. Bosses pose an even greater threat and will need you to keep sharp attention on their spells and items so you come to no encounter unprepared.
Encounter beings that can help, or slow you down, along your path. Sacrificial chambers grant rewards for risking your life or coin, shops contain rare items and consumables, enchanted anvils allow you to create items, cursed rooms debilitate your party, or empower your enemies, during your next combat encounter, and many more interactions through the many room types.
Features
- 16 playable class types each with an assortment of 9 unique abilities.
- 40 enemy class types with their own 9 unique abilities.
- 20+ room types that either help or hinder your quest.
- Run length settings allow you to finish the game in either a single sitting or multiple.
- Seeded randomness allows you to play the same run as many times as you want.
- 50 achievements, over 100 statistics, and cloud saves.

Sincerely enjoyed this game and got to smack a bean around with money 10/10 would smack again >:31 found this helpful
"The Labyrinth" is basically a ripoff of Hack/Rogue but made with Adobe Flash (don't laugh, seriously this guy tried charging money for an Adobe Flash text game) that eschews the Ascii art in Hack for some pixelcrap and text. It's quite remarkable anyone would consider publishing something this bad in 2021, for money. That's right, this guy decided to compete, for profit, against Far Cry 6 and Hitman 3, in 2021, with text and pixelcrap. Jesus wept, that's hilarious. Anyway this was a terrible failure on Steam Direct. Let's break it down. Let's talk about the visuals. There are none. This is text only. In 1977, Zork launched as a text adventure because there was no other technology available. We have had 3D graphics accelerators in every gaming PC since the mid-1990s. There is no excuse in 2026 for a "game" that presents the player with nothing but text menus and written descriptions. This isn't a game, it's a novel without the quality writing, dressed up as one. PC gamers deserve better than a Notepad file with a launch icon. The developer chose not to do the job of a real game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative based gameplay progression and so…
I definitely didn't even get partially invested in the experience. The UI feels horribly out-dated and the act of completing your first turn in combat is a near exercise in futility.
if you like a text based dungeon crawler this is it for you
Игра «The Labyrinth» — увлекательная головоломка с атмосферой таинственности. Погружение в многомерный лабиринт с нестандартной физикой и логическими загадками заставляет мыслить нестандартно. Уникальные механики, такие как управление временем и изменение гравитации, добавляют глубины геймплею. Графика минималистична, но эффектно подчеркивает напряженность. Несколько часов увлекательного решения задач, но отсутствие сюжета и повторяющиеся уровни могут наскучить. Для любителей интеллектуальных вызовов — отличный выбор.
Booted up The Labyrinth thinking it was just another maze game. Turns out it’s a surprisingly fun little puzzle adventure. – Levels are tricky enough to make you think, but not so hard you rage quit – Controls are simple and responsive, which makes exploring satisfying – Visuals are cozy and easy to read — you won’t get lost because the game is ugly – Not the deepest experience ever, but it’s fun to lose yourself in for a bit – At one point I ran in circles for 5 minutes and laughed at myself 7.5/10. The Labyrinth isn’t groundbreaking, but it’s a solid, enjoyable maze game that’s worth a try.
