WHAT IS LOST IN LABYRINTH?

You are a lost soul trapped in an endless, ever-changing labyrinth. Each level generates a new maze — bigger and more dangerous than the last. Your energy drains with every step. Food is scarce. Darkness surrounds you.

Explore under fog of war, collect coins for extra lives, find keys to unlock treasure chests, and discover mystical artifacts like the Agmuth — which lets you phase through walls — or the Threia Totem, which can restore a lost life through prayer.

As you descend deeper, the labyrinth fights back: water floods the corridors, lava scorches the floor, poison lingers in the air, spikes pierce the ground, and bats lurk in the shadows. Spend your hard-earned coins in the shop to equip rings, potions, and pendants that give you an edge.

Scattered across the maze are 30 ancient manuscripts that reveal the dark history of this world. Collect them all to uncover the story of the labyrinth.

Part Pac-Man, part roguelike, part survival — Lost in Labyrinth is a retro arcade maze crawler with procedural generation, permadeath, and a newspaper-black aesthetic.

FEATURES

Procedural Mazes

Every level generates a unique maze that grows in size and complexity as you progress deeper into the labyrinth.

Fog of War

Only nearby cells are visible. Previously visited paths are dimmed. Navigate carefully through the unknown darkness.

Health & Food

Your energy drains with every step. Collect fruit, tuna, and chicken scattered through the maze to stay alive.

Coins & Lives

Gather coins to earn extra lives. Every 10 coins grants a new heart. Your wallet persists across runs.

Keys & Chests

Three key tiers unlock matching treasure chests. Discover coins, hearts, stars, or the rare Agmuth inside.

Agmuth Ghost Mode

Use the mysterious Agmuth to phase through a single wall, opening shortcuts through the labyrinth.

Mystic Compass

Find the compass to reveal a needle pointing toward the exit. A rare and invaluable tool for the lost.

Threia's Blessing

Discover the Threia Totem and invoke a prayer to receive a divine blessing: a restored life and full health. The totem also repels attacking bats.

Ancient Manuscripts

Discover 30 lore manuscripts across 5 story arcs. Collect them to unravel the mysteries of the labyrinth.

9 Wall Themes

Each level features a unique wall style — brick, stone, wood, metal, marble, and more — for a fresh look every maze.

HOW IT WORKS

The Lost Soul

You are a white orb lost in the maze of limbo. Move through the grid, explore every path, and find the exit before your energy runs out.

Find the Exit

Each maze has a single exit marked with a concentric bullseye. Reach it to advance to the next level, earning a time bonus.

Rest & Recover

Stand still for a few seconds to slowly recover health. Floating "Z" letters appear as you rest. But resting costs score points.

Treasure Chests

Metallic, Copper, and Gold chests appear in the maze. Use matching keys to unlock them and discover loot: coins, hearts, spirit stars, or Agmuths.

Save & Continue

Your progress is automatically saved. Return anytime to continue your journey from where you left off.

THE DEEPER YOU GO...

The labyrinth doesn't want you to leave. With every level, new dangers appear on the maze floor — each one deadlier than the last.

Water

Level 2+

Walking through water doubles your energy drain. Standing on water slowly saps your health.

Lava

Level 3+

Lava quadruples energy drain per step. The scorching heat causes heavy idle damage while you stand on it.

Poison

Level 4+

Stepping on poison inflicts a timed status effect: passive health drain and reduced movement speed for 10 seconds.

Spikes

Level 5+

Sharp spikes wound you on contact, causing a bleeding effect with passive drain and slower movement.

Bats

Level 2+

Ambient bats lurk in the dark. When you collect items, they swoop in to attack. The Threia Totem can repel them.

THE SHOP

Your coins survive death. Between runs, spend them on items that give you an edge. Some are consumed on use, some last forever, and some have limited charges before they break.
