The Tartarus Loop
Play as a copy of Theseus. Run around in a maze, having to defeat the very Minotaur in Tartarus after it perished by the hands of the original Theseus. Over and over again. The soul of the Minotaur can't rest. All it can do is chase the player and try to outsmart you.

The Minotaur remembers every single defeat. Each time you face it, the fight changes. Even victory does not reset what it learned. It has no fixed pattern, and it will not stop hunting you until you are dead.

Navigate the beautifully tiled halls of an ancient labyrinth, where every mosaic corridor could be your last. Manage your stamina wisely, running won't save you forever.

The Minotaur adapts every time you defeat it. After your first playthrough, the boss no longer follows a fixed pattern. Instead, it cycles through a randomized selection of phases designed to take you down, forcing you to relearn how to survive.
Can you outlast something that never fights the same way twice?
