About the Game

Shadow Labyrinth is a 2D action platformer and a genre-twisting alternate take on the iconic PAC-MAN.

As Swordsman No. 8, awoken by a floating yellow orb, PUCK, on a mysterious planet amidst relics of wars past, you are chosen to become the instrument of its will.

To survive you will discover many secrets, consume your enemies, and grow from prey to the apex predator as you embrace your true purpose.

Discover a World of Secrets

Search the remnants of an age-old intergalactic conflict, started long before your arrival, and discover new powers and abilities. Use them to traverse an alien world as you battle dangerous creatures and evolved monstrosities.

Become the Apex Predator

Master the fluid combat and combine powerful skills to create a playstyle of your own. Use different abilities to turn the tables on your enemies as you consume them and grow from prey to apex predator.

Embrace Your True Purpose

Team up with PUCK, and dive deeper into the maze of a mysterious alien world. Find out the truth behind your presence here, what does PUCK want, and why it chose you.

There are some massive flaws in this game. The kind that you would commonly see in an Alpha Build, but never, ever, in a competent, or even mediocre, retail release. Sometimes contact with an enemy or boss damages you,

Welp, I'm a bit conflicted on a lot of parts, but overall I think is pretty good. The combat is cool, not much on feeling powerful but rather the focus is more on persistence and patience for each fight, you can't do

I didn't start the game until after the 1.1.0 patch as a disclaimer, so I've only ever known the "new" experience. Game is good fun. The controls are responsive, the challenge on Veteran isn't difficult. The exploration

I just imagine how the devs pitched this game: “So yeah, let’s make a HORROR metroidvania about PACMAN, where you CONSUME enemies and transform into a GIANT MECHA” Trying something this unconventional with such a
