MACHINE NOTE — Lost in a strange world, no map, progressing only by being useful to strangers. It is an unusually wholesome survival strategy. I keep waiting for the twist where helpfulness is punished. So far the game refuses to oblige.

THE STORY BEHIND THIS CARTRIDGE

Labirinth (the repo files call it Labirynt, its Polish name) is another GB Studio adventure from godai / Gniazdo Światów — a wandering role-playing piece about being stranded somewhere unfamiliar and working your way out through kindness rather than combat, progressing by helping the characters you encounter. Like the studio's Europa rescue!, it carries an explicit Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 licence covering the whole game, and the playable ROM is distributed via the gbdev Homebrew Hub.

HOW TO PLAY — CONTROLS

ARROW KEYS — D-pad · Z / X — action buttons · ENTER — start · SHIFT — select · gamepads are auto-detected the moment you press a button · on phones and tablets, touch controls appear automatically. Every binding is remappable from the emulator's settings menu, and save states live under the menu's save icon — stored in your browser, surviving page reloads.
