The Hidden Labyrinth indie game devlog update

A quick update regarding the ongoing Unity project "The Hidden Labyrinth", an upcoming first person survival horror game.

Temporary title screen of "The Hidden Labyrinth"

The player has to navigate a mysterious forest where the entrance to the hidden labyrinth can be found. Before that, there's an opening scene telling a bit about the background story. Once the player is in the forest, it's time to explore all its mysteries and find a way to get into the labyrinth.

Some secrets can only be revealed by your special ability...

Eventually the player will obtain an ability to see 'the forbidden', hidden objects in the game that add to the horror and puzzle element. I've always been a big fan of that concept :)


A distorted effect will let the player know what can be seen and what can't.

It's safe to say the outline of the forest environment is pretty much done. This was an enormous task, things will (hopefully) develop a bit faster from here on out.


Crows play an important role in the game.

Although a lot of progress has been made, there's still a lot left to do in the first scene alone. Most of the time goes to proper level design and puzzle mechanics. 

I'm aiming on Halloween '22 to release a demo of the game (first scene).
