Welcome to my labyrinth darling! Do please try not to die too quickly, will you?
It is so wonderful to have your fate nestled in the palm of my hands.
I do so hope that you will enjoy my little game. My marvelous maze is filled to the brim with delightfully deadly tricks and traps.
However, should you prove yourself worthy and find me at the end of the labyrinth, it would be my deepest pleasure to bestow upon you, your final reward!
Don't keep me waiting my lovely!

Lydia's hair came from Sutemo's Female Mature Character Sprites.
The protagonists shoulders came from Sutemo and Sraye's Mature Males (though we tried to make the protagonist as gender neutral as we could.)

Also the music used was purchased from Ovani Sound through humble bundle.
A credits list is in a notepad in the game (I ran out of time to make nice credits).
Thanks to everyone who made these wonderful assets!

i love the mystery and cool maze puzzle of this game! it got me hooked on the story and I really loved the tiny lore hints. lydia is my queen fr
Thank you so much for playing! I am so happy you had fun with our game!
[Spoilers ahead]
Okay look, I'm sorry but Lydia kinda won me over. First of all, getting kidnapped and not having to work? Sign me up.
The bottle room was the bane of my existence, and I think in total I died 5 times throughout this game - or in other words - if I didn't have the option to replay a room I would absolutely be cooked. Still, I danced my way through the blades, got a big ole' smooch from Lydia and even got to see her blush. 10/10 would let her eat me again.
Fantastic work on this game. It was absolutely absurd, and I actually did get jump scared at one point haha.
Thank you for playing it means so much to us! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and I'm sure Lydia had a marvellous time with her new pet😘 Thanks again!
This brought out my competitive instincts and then Lydia had to go and blush and be creepy cute. I want to date Lydia now. The plot is A+ and the gameplay works so well with the story. I kept wanting to unlock more endings! And I loved the tease for "don't click here."
❤️ Thank you so much! Im so happy you enjoyed the writing as well as exploring the Labyrinth itself. A date with Lydia might prove very expensive, it may cost you your very soul 💋 lol Thank you for playing!
