Lone Labyrinth: Burden of the Just

Not all truths be sharp as steel, nor all wisdom plain to see. Truth may rest on both sides of a blade, even when the hands that wield it stand opposed.

The Burden of the Just

Become Leora, a devoted knight of the Order of Verita, sworn to carry out divine justice in the crumbling land of Isen. She is tasked with retrieving three criminals, each thought to have a hand to play in the recent disappearances occurring in Zaro, the biggest city of Isen. What begins as a sacred mission spirals into a crisis of faith, justice, and identity.

Gameplay

Gameplay blends '90s-inspired 2D action with real-time combat, puzzle-solving, and exploration. Players will navigate gloomy caves, hostile forests, and labyrinthine manors as they uncover the truth behind each fugitive’s story. A diverse magic system offers four unique types—Light, Dark, Blood, and Mind—each with its own effects and tactical uses in battle. Choices matter. Every decision Leora makes will shape the world around her, influence who lives and who falls, and determine whether she remains a loyal servant of the Order or finds her own path forward.

With inspiration drawn from classics like The Legend of Zelda, this journey is built on reflection, action, and the burden of truth.
