Survival Horror Title ‘Labyrinth Of The Demon King’ Announced for PC [Trailer]

Get ready for more retro-styled Survival Horror, as Top Hat Studios and developer J.R. Hudepohl are bringing fans Labyrinth Of The Demon King to PC via Steam in 2025. Set in a world inspired by feudal Japan, the appropriately dark title carries that grainy low-fi aesthetic (complete with a 4:3 aspect ratio!), and has the usual inspiration from the likes of Resident Evil and Silent Hill. This time, we also get the dungeon-crawling aspect of FromSoftware’s King’s Field.

The story for Labyrinth Of The Demon King centres around Ashigaru, a footsoldier in the service of Lord Takeda Nobumitsu. The world has entered The Latter Age Of The Dharma, with society crumbling, and war, disease and famine having killed thousands. Not to mention that there are demons roaming around.

Deceived by a powerful demon king, Nobumitsu led his army into an ambush, with you being the only survivor. Against your wishes, Nobumitsu sacrificed his life to aid in your escape from the battle. You have made a vow to track down the demon who betrayed your lord and end its life. To do so, you must enter the Labyrinth Of The Demon King.

As mentioned, the game has you venturing into the eponymous Labyrinth, solving puzzles and uncovering secrets. You’ll be faced with a variety of monsters and demons, which will require you to dispatch them with a variety of melee and ranged weapons. You’ll need to be careful, as supplies are limited. Luckily, you’ll be meeting up with potential companions and allies, who have their own reasons for entering the Labyrinth.
