I am so grateful that so many of you have decided to give Daedalus a shot! I was amazed to see that yesterday, over 2000 people from around the world (big shout out to Argentina with 24% of all downloads!) downloaded the demo! I really hope that you all enjoy my silly little game and that it brings you some joy! I am just putting the finishing touches on the final bosses of the inner chambers and dialogue prompts, so I will keep this short. I am so excited to release the full game, I have put a great deal of work into making the classes interesting and distinct, so I hope they will be a valuable reward for your progression. Please feel free to use the feedback system in the help menu, I would love to hear what you all think, as there is still time to make adjustments before the launch! Have a great week, Ill see you on launch day Monday! daphii

Overview

You are a poor recently lost soul. Expecting Charon and the River Styx, you instead awaken in a cold dark dungeon greeted by Daedalus himself. What cruel fate is this? Before you lay three ornate weapons, a shortbow, a labrys, and a staff. Dormant elemental runes scatter the surface of each weapon, what hidden powers do they hold?

Hades, driven mad by the endless horde of the dead whom he must steward, has devised a new trial in order to allow only the greatest of souls into the afterlife. One must demonstrate mastery with all four elements to unlock the inner chambers, and only within will they be truly tested. Will you emerge victorious, or will you spend eternity wandering the winding halls.

Class Driven Combat

By choosing a weapon, you take on the abilities of the Archer, the Guardian, or the Oracle. Each has a unique set of elemental powers, unlocked through imbuing the weapon along the journey into the Labyrinth.

Challenging Boss Fights

Defeat the elemental Titans to imbue your weapon. Demonstrate your skill on challenge bosses to upgrade your abilities. With your build set, take on the inner chamber final bosses and earn your rightful place in the afterlife.
