The Labyrinth

Waking up in an unknown place, you must navigate the expansive maze of rooms to find the exit and return to your world. But be careful... you're not alone.

Comment

Inspiration

  • The Backrooms
  • The Mimic
  • Liminal Spaces
  • Dark Deception

What it does

  • A horror-escape game where the user must navigate three mazes with increasingly difficult puzzles to find their way to the exit

How we built it

  • We worked in Roblox Studio to do all of the coding and modeling.

Challenges we ran into

  • Learning the Lua programming language and Roblox Studio interface (some for the first time, others relearning it) while building our project

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • We're proud we were able to pull together a functioning game with various mechanics that can entertain and challenge our players
  • We're also proud of capturing the 'liminal' aesthetic of wandering through an unknown place without knowing whether you might be safe or not

What we learned

  • How to make working buttons
  • How to trigger events by touching certain blocks
  • How to 'teleport' a player to a specific position
  • How to make a hostile entity that follows the player around

What's next for The Labyrinth

  • Maybe there won't be a Labyrinth II, but we now have the skills to continue to explore new ideas and possibly create new games in the future
