Labyrinth of the Demon King is a first-person survival horror dungeon crawler released in May 2025, set in a grim, demon-infested version of feudal Japan. You play as an Ashigaru—a lowly foot soldier whose lord was betrayed and slain by a malevolent Demon King. Driven by vengeance, you venture into the treacherous Labyrinth, facing nightmarish yokai, unraveling eerie mysteries, and struggling to survive in a hostile world where supplies are scarce and every turn could be your last.
The game strikes a unique tone by combining classic survival horror atmosphere with retro-inspired visuals meant to evoke early 3D games, complete with dither-style graphics and oppressive sound design. Exploration blends combat, puzzle solving, and resource management as you scavenge the labyrinth’s twisting corridors for weapons, armor, and talismans. Encounters with NPCs are tense—some may help, others may deceive—and your choices can affect your fate. Players and critics alike have praised its immersive setting and unsettling world, though its deliberate pacing and old-school mechanics evoke mixed reactions.
