An interactive fiction game about identity and self-discovery. Decide your own path through the labyrinth’s strange halls, and confront the terrors and mysteries within.
## About This Game
Keeper of the Labyrinth is an interactive fiction game about identity, self-
discovery and learning to accept and overcome the flaws we find in ourselves.
## You:
A young witch who, with the passing of your teacher last fall, must take on
the mantle of Keeper of the Labyrinth.
## The labyrinth:
A vast being which waits at the edge of the sea. It has been here longer than
any can remember, and for as long, it has been the sacred duty of the village
witch to explore its depths. But strange things happen within its halls, and
that journey is not for the light-of-heart.
## The solstice night:
It is the night of the winter solstice, the longest night of the year, and it
is your turn to make the journey. Forced to eschew the festivities, you don
your cloak and gather your tools of witchcraft: runes, candles, a piece of
chalk, a wand, a knife. What rituals will take place within? What is your
quarry, waiting in the centre, that your teacher once mentioned? And more
pressing, perhaps: what watches you from the darkness?
## Make your choices, find your path:
There are many paths through the labyrinth, many side chambers to explore and
twists to find. Many beautiful realizations, strange encounters, and deep
horrors await you at each turn. With each, find new truths about the labyrinth
through which you pass, and perhaps, yourself. Your choices too, have
consequences; are you too apathetic, rushing your task? too cowardly, avoiding
difficult choices? or too doubtful, unsure of where you’re going?
## Journal:
Retrace your steps with a dynamically updated journal and table of contents
which keeps track of your version of the story, depending on the choices you
make, and in which order.
## Gallery:
Unlock a gallery of more than 14 hand-painted illustrations to accompany key
scenes on your journey through the labyrinth.
## Content warnings:
Offers a robust system of content warnings to pop up before possibly
disturbing scenes.
## Carefully crafted prose and music:
Original soundtrack composed by the author to accompany each scene in the
story.
## Mature Content Description
The developers describe the content like this:
The game is mostly no more than unsettling in tone, but does contain harsh
language and descriptions of/allusions to: self harm, dysphoria, suicide,
emotional abuse, death and injury.
These are mostly quite brief and many are avoidable depending on the route
taken. A full list of content warnings can be found on the game’s official
site.
