About the Game

This adventure marks the beginning of a three-part story.

You play as Nathan, father of young Katie and husband of Clara, who tragically lost her life during an archaeological expedition in Egypt. Her final wish was for you and your daughter to build a sunflower labyrinth together — a place filled with puzzles, memories, and small challenges meant to bring father and daughter closer.

Now the labyrinth stands complete. As you explore it alone, thoughts of Clara and Katie’s ideas, woven into the puzzles, accompany you along the way. Each section of the labyrinth reveals a piece of your family’s story and presents new challenges waiting to be solved.

This first chapter serves as an introduction and a small glimpse of what lies ahead — a modest labyrinth born from the first shared ideas and experiments. In the following chapters, the adventure will continue to grow, with larger labyrinths, more intricate puzzles, and deeper memories to uncover.

Join Nathan on his journey — because the adventure is far from over.
