Cliff Johnson's Labyrinth of Crete

About

You play as a thief given a second chance after Zeus intervenes. Your task is to navigate the Labyrinth of Crete, solving increasingly complex puzzles to trap the Minotaur. Each challenge blends logic and lateral thinking, from mechanical devices to cryptic symbols. Progress demands careful observation and creative problem solving. The story unfolds through text and visuals as you piece together the path to escape. Released in 1995, this Philips title runs on PC, Mac, and CD-i. It’s known for tight puzzle design that avoids cheap tricks. Community playthroughs highlight the balance between difficulty and fairness. While its 90s visuals feel dated, the core experience holds up as a test of wit. A relic of early PC puzzle games with a mythological twist.
