Description
Two young boys are lost in a maze and it's up to you to save them. Guide Asterion and Theseus out of the maze in this visual novel inspired by Greek mythology. Place your phone in the light to talk to Theseus, or in the shade to talk to Asterion. But be careful - the more you help one of them, the more the other gets lost. Help them make the right decisions as you face up to lots of different dangers, discover the secrets of the maze and perhaps manage to set them free. Their fate now rests in your hands. Will your cunning, wisdom, perseverance and skill be enough to help you make the right choices?
