Overview
Prepare yourself for an unforgiving journey into a labyrinth where death is merely a stepping stone. In Daedalus, you awaken not to the ferryman Charon, but to the enigmatic Daedalus himself in a cold, dark dungeon. Expecting the usual passage to the afterlife, you instead find yourself facing a unique challenge. Before you lie three distinct weapons: a shortbow, a labrys, and a staff, each adorned with dormant elemental runes hinting at hidden powers waiting to be unlocked. This is not a futile task; each demise teaches valuable lessons, bringing you closer to earning your place in the afterlife.
