About

Shadow Labyrinth is a 2D action platformer and a genre-twisting alternate take on the iconic PAC-MAN. As The Swordsman, you wake on a mysterious planet amidst relics of wars past. To survive you will discover secrets, consume your enemies, and grow from prey to apex predator.

Storyline

In the distant year 3333, three decades after a catastrophic disruption sent a powerful weapon crashing onto the ravaged planet Xevious, a player from the real world of 2025 is abruptly pulled through into the game's universe. He awakens as a strange, helpless figure in the ruins of a prison, without arms or a mouth, utterly lost in an alien and hostile land. There he is found by a robotic companion named PUCK, who declares him her eighth summoning attempt, and a mysterious being grants him a prosthetic arm so he may wield a sword, transforming him into a Swordsman. Together, the two set out across the devastated world, soon uncovering that Xevious lies under the control of a malevolent supercomputer called Gamp, which has corrupted the planet's life and technology alike.
