There has been a mysterious disappearance of guests at a hotel. The case immediately became a secret, but only one person can shed light on what is happening - Detective Alice Page. But why?
Suddenly the investigation went off the plan and a boring search for clues turned into a mystical adventure in the labyrinth of the minotaur and the murder of half-dead creatures with a ritual knife.
Features
- Ancient myths and references to 20th century horror films: Explore the Minotaur's labyrinth, where the floors are drenched in blood and lost souls have turned into zombies. "The Sheath and the Knife," a tragic English ballad, takes on new meaning as the game's leitmotif.
- The game's atmosphere was inspired by film noir: a cocktail of rotting human vices and Art Deco shimmer.
- Music and Atmosphere: Jazz, Delta Blues, Big Bands, crooner voices of a bygone era coming from jukeboxes in a maze of nightmares, forgotten gramophones playing gloomy old tunes.... A soundtrack inspired by games such as Bioshock and Alone in the Dark.
- Puzzles: getting out of the maze and finding the truth is not easy, so you will have to look for clues by exploring the world around you.
- Melee system: destroy those who want to stop you.

Setting
The game was inspired by several sources, from the ballad of the knife and scabbard to the legend of the Minotaur. I used games such as Bioshock, Silent Hill 2, and Alone in the Dark as game references. Old school horror games such as "What Happened to Baby Jane" and "Hush... played a very important role. Hush, Sweet Charlotte." Overall the game adheres to the dark atmosphere of the 1930s - 1950s.
