You are going about your normal (or not so normal) day when suddenly, right in front of you a translucent blue panel appears. In fancy swirling cursive, it says:
Which fades out to be replaced by two options:
NEW GAME LOAD GAME
“Load Game" is greyed out and you cannot select it (unless, of course, you are returning again). The panel also refuses to go away no matter what you do.
Eventually, either because you’re fed up or an accident happens (maybe you trip while walking or gesture while talking). Regardless of how it happened, you end up pressing the ‘New Game’ button.
Then the world goes dark.
When you wake up you are in something like a cryogenic pod within a broken down, modern looking building in the middle of a lot of overgrown greenery.
Before you can get your bearings another message pops up:
NEW QUEST!! Make it out of Gladsheim alive! Fight your way to safety!
Labyrinthian is an panfandom roleplaying game with a focus on action and adventure, exploration and RPG elements, loosely based on the Etrian Odyssey game series. Characters arrive in a town full of NPCs connected to two labyrinths full of mystery, adventure and dangerous monsters.
Work together to form guilds, fight monsters, complete quests and try not to lose your temper at the NPCs who keep repeating their stock phrases and forcing you to sit through tutorials and explanations without a SKIP button in sight.
And of course, they must navigate another mainstay of RPGs: a job class system that gives them new abilities to replace their own (with a possibility of regaining a version of their powers later on). Or maybe you’re a veteran gamer and all this is familiar to you and all you have to worry about is convincing your less trope savvy companions that it’s not weird to look through every urn you find.
All this while you try to solve the mystery of the labyrinth...and hope that doing so will lead you to a way home.
