Escape a merciless mansion alongside a girl words cannot reach!
You are vulnerable and tied up. With your arms and hands bound and immobilised in a wheelchair, you are at the mercy and reliance of Katia, a mysterious girl. She is your only way to escape from the mansion in an intensive and inventive series of escape room puzzles. The ever increasing complexity of riddles, and their diversity, must be solved in order to escape.
Sounds intriguing? Of course! This is horror gameplay at its finest.
Bound to a chair you enter a world of sinister puzzles as you go to different levels of the last (?) labyrinth. The small Japanese dev team behind the title has limited your way of communicating with your co-prisoner, the young girl Katia who’s stuck in the labyrinth with you. The difference being that she’s not bound to a chair. An important part of the experience is finding a way to get her to do what you want her to do by pointing, nodding and shaking your head in the right way – at the right time.
The all-embracing atmosphere is foreboding and gives off the same feeling that one would get if emphasizing with a character stuck in a Saw movie puzzle, and this game just keeps giving and giving in the same vein. You’ll be experiencing gruesome deaths on your way through the labyrinth’s rooms and puzzles, one more brutal than the other, and the satisfaction of overcoming the games’ obstacles together with Katia will make your death-drenched journey extremely rewarding as you’re given more and more bits and pieces of what’s really happening.
If you’re into immersive VR horror games that swallow you whole and spit you out piece by piece, where frustration and rewards go hand in hand in the very best of ways, Last Labyrinth is a must play for you.
Features:
- Experience a unique relationship with Katia, a girl who speaks a language you cannot understand (voiced by Stefanie Joosten, Quiet from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain) with music by Hiroki Kikuta (SECRET OF MANA, SOULCALIBUR V)
- Over 10 hours of escape-adventure puzzle-solving and multiple endings
- PlayStation players can even work together with Katia in a unique, one-of-a-kind experience in VR (optional);
with the Nintendo Switch version of the game not supporting VR, its title carries the subline "-Lucidity Lost-" - Created by a team of veteran Japanese developers whose previous works include classic titles such as ICO, The Last Guardian, Shadow of the Colossus, Puppeteer and the Doko Demo Issyo series (Toro, the Sony Cat)
Why Last Labyrinth is joining the Strictly Limited Games catalog
Last Labyrinth is a literally breath-taking example for a Japanese horror game celebrated and requested by the community, originally funded via Kickstarter in 2020. Since we had the pleasure to release the original Last Labyrinth in its physical form on PlayStation 4 back then, creating physical editions for both Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 were obvious choices for us. Providing dedicated physical release for all of these platforms holds great significance for us: with its creative escape room puzzles and unique nonverbal communication with the mysterious girl Katia who is voiced by Stefanie Joosten, the game offers an extraordinary experience that every gamer and horror fan should try. Strictly Limited Games is giving Last Labyrinth the physical treatment it deserves.
