Why Early Access?

“Project - Labyrinth is an ambitious solo-developed dungeon-crawling RPG that blends real-time parry-based combat, card mechanics inspired by Italian blackjack (Sette e Mezzo), and dense narrative cutscenes

Early Access is crucial for me to polish and expand.

My goal with Early Access is to:

Gather feedback on combat systems — especially how players engage with parry timings, enemy attack patterns, and risk-reward mechanics tied to card draws and turn economy.

Balance progression pacing — I want to ensure dungeon layouts, enemy difficulty spikes, and rewards feel satisfying and fair without handholding.

Improve accessibility and onboarding — player feedback will help me streamline tutorials, controls, and UI flows, especially in complex areas like the shop system, deck building, or puzzle rooms.

Iterate on content updates — Early Access will allow me to test and roll out additional changes.
