Theseus and the Labyrinth

3D Game Prototype – Play Theseus and the Labyrinth
Theseus and the Labyrinth is a puzzle-focused 3D game loosely based on the ancient myth of Theseus. Players must pass a series of trials (puzzles) in order to progress through the game and solve the maze. 3D models were sourced through the Unity Asset Store. The Fungus plugin for Unity was used to develop the interactions with the NPCs. Music and custom interactions were created by me.
