Description
Labyrinth of the Demon King is a challenging first-person dungeon crawler, set against the backdrop of a mythical feudal Japan besieged by demons. As a lone foot soldier, embark on a quest to track down and slay the Demon King who killed your Lord. But will you have the skill, resources and stamina needed to survive through all the horrors this brutal world will throw at you?
"The world is in chaos, and has entered the latter age of the Dharma. Society is crumbling and war has spread throughout the country. Disease and famine have killed thousands, and demons walk the very earth itself. You are an 'Ashigaru', a foot soldier in the service of Lord Takeda Nobumitsu.
Deceived by a powerful demon king, your lord led his army into an ambush. All perished except for you. Against your wishes your lord sacrificed his life to aid your escape from the battle.
You have made a vow to track down the demon who betrayed your lord and end its life. You take what could possibly be your final breaths on this mortal plane, and prepare yourself to enter…
The Labyrinth of the Demon King!"
Features:
Discover A Grim World
Immerse yourself in the foreboding, dark world of the Demon King, a setting inspired by feudal Japan and brought to life in a gorgeous retro-grim art style. Complete with dither filters for that genuine PS1 feel.
Prove Yourself in Combat
Arm yourself with your wits and a select range of weapons, from katanas and naginatas to muskets and bows, as you engage in brutal, challenging combat. Revel in accomplishment and extreme satisfaction as you take down various Yōkai from ancient myth, and other horrific abominations that dwell in the labyrinth.
Explore the Labyrinth
As you trudge through the dark, twisted corridors of the Labyrinth, explore every nook and cranny for limited resources. Sets of armor and talismans change your fortunes in combat, and important clues help solve puzzles laid out before you by the Demon King.
Decide, Friend or Foe?
Engage with other strange characters on your journey. Some offer things you might need, others a simple moment of respite, but be careful who you decide to trust - it could affect your fate.
As a horror title, Labyrinth features blood, gore, and scenes that many users may find discomforting or gross. All violence is presented in a heavily stylized, pixelated/low-poly format. Enemies can be dismembered additionally.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
It's like King's Field with more elements taken from the later Dark Souls series (stamina system, dodging and parrying, enemies respawning upon death), but set in a feudal-era Japanese mythological setting, and with the creepy horror atmosphere of a classic Silent Hill game. All things that I love so I've been hooked. It also works perfectly with the UEVR mod, for those who prefer to play everything in VR like me.

this game got so much
(what an atmosphere, unique and nostalgic feelings a the same time, some exploration, a lil bit soulslike, great dungeon crawler)
well done!
i will always have an eye on this devs
FANTASTIC GAME. Blends all the horror elements from SIlent Hill, Resident Evil and Kuon together with the gameplay of Kingsfield. Very good would reccomend.
I'm only 4 hours in, but this is already threatening to be a staple of my games library.
The mood draws heavily from both Silent Hill and Resident Evil, as you're travelling through a deeply evil residence in feudal Japan, meeting shifty characters and solving bizarre puzzles while using swords and bows to kill freakish little goblins and dodge other threats that are strong enough to completely fail to be killed by the pitiful weapons you have.
Initially the artstyle is what drew me in, while the music, mood and story continue to keep me engaged. The 4:3 aspect ratio makes me feel extremely confined and always keeps me looking over my shoulder, plus the music and SFX only serve to fill me with great dread as I shuffle around each corner, hoping something from Jacob's Ladder doesn't jump out at me.
The combat can be a bit frustrating at times, so it can take a little time to learn, but it is not bad for an indie developer. I think they were looking to make this clunky and slow, as it sometimes was in the early Playstation era, but getting the hang of the combat is intensely rewarding and managing the stamina with my desire to flee from any potential threats is a great inclusion and the people that made this game have an incredible talent for storytelling through gameplay, even though I'm not that far in.
This game is already drenched in interesting concepts and I'm simultaneously extremely excited to play it, but also terrified of whatever the developers might lob at me next.
10/10 thus far, and I will update with thoughts and criticisms as I progress in the coming weeks/months.
