Kurokiri Labyrinth V2

[ClockworkAngel]

Welcome to the project thread for Kurokiri Labyrinth V2. This is a remake of a game I once made on XP. I never managed to finish the XP version, so I decided I would remake it from scratch, using the parts from the original up until I catch up to the point I stopped development. From then on, it will be entirely original, but sticking to the theme of the original.

There are a few things I should point out. First of all, it is mostly a puzzle/comedy game, and it has a hell of a lot of random crap in it. It does not take away from the puzzles, and alot of it is simply just there to make you think "wtf is happening here?!", with no other true purpose, so expect a fair bit of randomness to coem your way. The labyrinth is a strange and mysterious place~

Secondly, there is not much, but at times (ESPECIALLY at one point), there is some strong language, so I will be putting a strong-language warning on the game for people intending to download it. ANYWAY! On to the info!

The Black Mist Tower. A legendary construction, ageless and timeless. None know when it was built, or for what reason.
All that is known is that it the top of the tower, lies a treasure of extreme value and power.
What this treasure is and what it can do is unknown. Some say it is valuable enough to buy an
entire continent, or even the world. Others say it bestows upon you the powers of a god. None know for sure.
For all that have entered the Black Mist Tower have fallen prey to the deadly Kurokiri Labyrinth that
waits inside. From the moment you pass the gates of the tower, you are ensnared in the labyrinth.
There is no escape. The only way is forward. Many people have found themselves trapped, unable to move
forward. So many, in fact, that even small settlements and villages have appeared within the
labyrinth, where those that gave up joined together to live out the rest of their lives in peace.

However, not everyone was as lucky. Some lost their minds and souls to the labyrinth, become mindless slaves to
those that guard the exits, known as the Seven Reapers of the Mist. They guard each level of the tower, and
must be defeated if you wish to pass to the next. Each one commands great power and an army of their own demons,
all intent on hindering your progress. How far can you get through the Kurokiri Labyrinth?

Leonis Silvastein, a brave adventurer brought up on tales of the Kurokiri Labyrinth. He has ventured forth to it's gates to challenge the trials within and prove himself the greatest adventurer of all time! But is he prepared for the dangers that lie within? And can his mind take the nonsense that runs rampant within it's walls?


Nexus is a mysterious man. After having gotten stuck in the Labyrinth, he almost gave up hope of escape. He even got himself a nice little cottage in the Labyrinth's first floor. But his life is soon to change upon meeting Leonis. He belives Leonis has the power to defeat the labyrinth and, with his help, Nexus intends to escape the dreaded tower.


Who knows what the motives are of the mysterious Nox. He likes money. He likes treasure. He can often be found within the labyrinth, staring at something shiny and sparkling. He may appear from time to time, but he never stays long. Catch him quick, and you may get a good deal. He may even have some rare items to give you... But he'll expect something in return.


Laguna, the first Reaper of the Mist, his domain is the First Floor, Gaia Maze, where he watches over the realms of Misty Town, Meta Mines and the Woodstone Temple. If you want to progress to the second floor, you are going to have to find and defeat this demon of earth and metal.

The labyrinth is split into seven floors, each with it's own traits, puzzles, realms and guardian. Within each floor lies gateways to small pocket dimensions within the tower, each containing an entire realm. Each guardian, one of the seven Reapers of the Mist, hold dominion over three realms, and only be conquering these realms, will you be able to face the guardian and, upon defeating them, advance to the next floor.

I don't have much Misc. Information just yet. For now, have a few tips~

• Look out for things that seem amiss. They may hold vital clues or secrets!
• Be attentive! Sometimes, things only appear for a second, and sometimes, they never reappear. Don't miss your chance to obtain something that may be of help later on!
• Look for Nox's shops. They are often cheaper than those in towns. And if you see Nox running around a dungeon, catch him quick. He will likely have some rare goodies on him.

Here are all the screenshots from the game so far~ Comments are welcome~
