In Labyrintheus, you play adventurers navigating a magical labyrinth created to test your survival skills. You face deadly traps, monsters, and compete against other players. The unique Persona Card system tracks your inventory and health, with treasures attached to your persona card. Upon death, your card flips to show your stats as an undead servant. The goal is to collect Gate Stones to activate the portal and escape.
Who Is This Game For?
Labyrintheus is aimed at experienced players aged 16 and up who enjoy fantasy and card games. With a 45-minute playtime, it suits game night sessions.
