How it plays
How does Labyrinth: The Computer Game play?
The game uses a first-person-style illustrated view of locations, with text commands used to examine the environment, move, and manipulate objects. Sarah must enter the labyrinth, find routes through its shifting areas, and solve puzzles while pursuing Jareth and rescuing Toby.
The opening conversation can determine how the adventure begins. Progress depends on collecting useful objects, interpreting clues, and choosing suitable commands. The maze contains hazards, characters, and locations inspired by the film, with limited time adding pressure to exploration.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Labyrinth: The Computer Game?
- Examine each new location and try objects on relevant scenery before moving on.
- Pay attention to wording during conversations; parser adventures often require specific nouns and verbs.
- Record routes and clues, since the labyrinth’s layout and puzzle solutions can be difficult to reconstruct.
- Avoid wasting time on unnecessary exploration when a direct route or objective becomes clear.
