T he 45th anniversary of Pac-Man brings fans a unique take on the iconic series of games. Shadow Labyrinth takes on a new role for the franchise, bringing you into a new piece of the Pac-Man universe with a darker tone and a new genre. Players must use their abilities to survive, consume enemies and level Swordsman No. 8 to their highest potential.

Because Puck is a manipulative, untrustworthy, Devil on your shoulder who’s unlikely to be fronting any Saturday morning cartoons anytime soon. You actually play as an amnesiac who Puck summoned from another dimension to help with their shady quest, and Puck keeps referring to you as ‘Number Eight’. Brrr.

Shadow Labyrinth is a dark sci-fi reimagining of Pac-Man as a 2D action-platformer Metroidvania, and it's both hard and surprisingly good.
