About this game

MINOS: Home A-Labyrinth is a limited-time festive holiday special.

Use improvised defenses, handcrafted tricks, and a full arsenal of festive hazards to prevent clumsy intruders from invading your labyrinth in this (almost) cozy spin-off that reimagines the trap-building gameplay of MINOS in a familiar holiday setting.

Design and chain together traps, lure intruders into slapstick disasters, and protect your home from room to room. Expect quick sessions, chaotic encounters, and a playful celebration of defensive strategy.

This project was created as a lighthearted seasonal promo and released entirely for free. If you enjoy the experience, wishlist MINOS, our full-scale trap-building labyrinth roguelite coming soon.

Happy holidays!

    MINOS is Available Now!

    Dear Gamer,I wasn't quite sure what to write here; if you've played the MINOS demo, I'd be preaching to the choir; you're probably already sold on the game.Part of the reason the game is so lovable is that, compared to all our previous games, I gave up on You. The broad, general, "target audience", "market demographic", You.With our previous projects, we tried to anticipate what players want. What genres does the market want now? What are some features players demand or expect? Trying to make informed, analytical decisions. And while those games were really well received (93%, 94% positive), they weren't successful enough, and the studio suffered significant scaling down.There's a finite number of millions of dollars you can burn through before whoever's investing loses patience. And so, I thought to myself, looking left and right as the industry is brought to its knees in the current ongoing crisis: well, f**k it. Might as well do something I'm super excited about doing. For some cosmic weird reason, Devolver obliged. When thinking about them, I think about this Frank Zappa interview explaining the music industry (google: Zappa music business). That's a good thing. But I digress.I present to you MINOS, a game that I had no idea how to put together when I first thought about it (and I found it extremely enticing), of which I'm super proud, and for which I'm super thankful to the Artificer team and all contributors who helped us out.Hope you enjoy it!(If you do - be sure to review it)And join our Discord if you're feeling generous, we'd love to hear your feedback.-KacperP.S. Alongside the base game, Minos is available as part of a Supporter Edition Bundle. Grab it and secure a discount, while procuring the official Soundtrack and a cool Supporter pack, which includes a selection of 5 unique Minotaur cosmetics.We also have a few bundles set-up with some very cool games that you may have played already. Take a look below and save some money if you own any of them.

    MINOS: Home A-Labyrinth releases today!

    Ho ho ho! It seems that Asterion tried to decorate the maze for Christmas. And it didn’t go too well. ːsteammockingː But while the labyrinth is still standing, we do have a festive announcement to share…Kicking off Jingle BellsEver since the announcement of MINOS, some of the players who participated in our playtests or played the demo, joked that the game feels like a certain holiday-themed, trap-setting, kid-outsmarts-the-intruders classic. So, for the Christmas season, as a joke (and a very calculated marketing ploy), we hacked a portion of our own unreleased game into a festive, legally-distinct homage to that vibe, and decided to release it for free TODAY. ːsteamhappyː ːsteammockingː ːsteamhappyːOh, and what's really cool is that some of the art we swapped was made by the kid of our Creative Director. The kid's name is Antek, and he's just slightly older than a certain Kevin, who inspired MINOS: Home A-Labyrinth.Anyway, we hope you'll enjoy this holiday special over the Christmas period, while waiting for the release of MINOS next year!You can learn more about MINOS and wishlist it here:Have A Very Merry Xmas!
