This top-down adventure blends classic pixel art action with modern effects and design.

When Hito gets lost in the woods one dark night, two mischievous wisps spirit him away to the Labyrinth, a prison for lost souls from which no one has ever escaped. Now he must wander the Labyrinth's blocky corridors and fight countless monsters in order to confront his captors and find his way home.
