ABOUT THE GAME

Follow the thread into the Labyrinth

Step into Ariadne's Tale, a first-person puzzle adventure that reinvents the classic myth with wit and dark humour. As Ariadne, you carry a magical thread that guides your path and serves as a tool to fix routes, anchor points and activate mechanisms. Use the thread to orient yourself, manipulate devices and reach the heart of the Labyrinth before the beast finds you.

Each chamber is a test of observation and creativity where you have to do puzzle solving, object manipulation and lateral thinking to progress. The narrative blends ironic voices with a mythic atmosphere: an architect guides (and nags) you through a magical conch, while the terror and beauty of the Labyrinth slowly unfold. The goal is to find and rescue Theseus… before the threads of fate are cut.
