Shadow Labyrinth is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. This new title reimagines the classic Pac-Man formula with a gothic twist, offering winding corridors, shadowy foes and a haunting soundtrack that sets it apart from its arcade roots. Players guide an ethereal avatar through labyrinthine stages, collecting arcane orbs while evading monstrous sentinels and uncovering hidden pathways. The game's launch was heralded by a dramatic trailer showcasing its intricate level design and combat mechanics—watch the official launch trailer on PlayStation's YouTube channel for a glimpse of its brooding world and Metroidvania inspirations.
Shadow Labyrinth reinvents classic maze exploration with gothic atmospheres and challenging combat. Instead of pellets and ghosts, you face demonic overseers that require both reflexes and strategic use of abilities unlocked through optional side quests. The non-linear progression encourages thorough exploration: secret doors and environmental puzzles reward careful observation, while backtracking with new skills reveals shortcuts and unseen chambers. Fans of titles like Hollow Knight and Dead Cells will find familiar thrills in these dark corridors, but Shadow Labyrinth's Pac-Man heritage gives it a unique adrenaline rush as you dash through narrow passages under relentless pursuit.
