What players say

Labyrinthine Dreams is like dating someone who makes you cry but you're still texting them at 3 AM like "u up?" First 5 minutes I'm lost, literally and emotionally, but the puzzles be dragging me deeper into the void. Every puzzle makes me wanna delete my life but then the story SLAPS me with feels I didn't ask for. It's like I'm in a toxic relationship with a game and I LOVE IT. 11/10 would suffer again and...

Very short and sweet (took me almost 1.5 hours to complete due to some backtracking that I needed to do). I liked the audiovisual side of it as well as the story. The gameplay is very simple, although if you want the achievements painlessly, I highly recommend using a guide for the puzzles because some of those left me scratching my head at times.
