INTROAlice receives a sudden call from her friend Heart late one evening, only to arrive at the

scene too late: She witnesses her friend murdered by an unknown perpetrator---and

ends up in the hospital, under a strange coma. Amidst the turmoil, what discoveries lie

hidden in the unconscious Alice’s memories?

This is where our story begins.

GAMEPLAY‘MentaLabyrinth’ was conceptualized as a basic one-player maze game, with a twist.

A ‘shadow’ chases after the player controlled character, consuming the player’s vision of the

screen as they progress through the stages.This creates a sense of excitement and

perhaps panic, and emulates the concept of ‘being chased’ as one attempts to finish the

game and go through the maze.

STORYAlice witnesses her friend Heart getting murdered,

but in reality…

Alice has a secret that even she doesn’t know.A second personality, that takes over when she

least expects it.

That night, Heart invited Alice to eat out for dinner, but was unfortunately murdered by the psychopath

sharing the same psyche as her friend.

STORYAlice becomes aware and realizes what is happening, ‘witnessing’ the crime ‘she’ is

committing, but it is too late---She attempts to pull back her other ‘half’, and nearly succeeds--but her

alter ego, ‘Malice’, in a desperate attempt to silence Alice, hit her ‘head’ into a nearby wall, thus

sending her into a coma. The struggle between the two continues within

Alice’s mind, represented by a maze, as she tries to recover her memories and return to consciousness

with hopes of revealing the truth.

GAMEPLAYThe game consists of three mazes that stand for

levels of consciousness. The items inside of the maze are pieces of the memories Alice needs to recall, lost from the

shock to her head. The ‘shadow’ chasing after the player along the

stages represents ‘Malice’, Alice’s psychotic alter-ego, attempting to get rid of Alice for good

so she can be the sole owner of the body.

GAMEPLAYThe maze features a few ‘poison pools’ as well as hazardous walls. This makes the game more

difficult and exciting to play, despite the seemingly easy maze layout. One cannot simply walk through the maze by rushing forward into a wall, because this will also

deplete your ‘mental health’ bar. Thus, each movement must be carefully controlled with

the directional buttons on the keyboard.

GAMEPLAY

WIN/LOSEWhen the player finishes all three mazes and

therefore clears the game, Alice’s memories are fully recovered and she awakens from her coma,

bringing to light the truth about the sudden murder.

If the player is caught by the travelling ‘shadow’ or loses all his health points, the game ends, and

Alice never wakes up---Instead, Malice successfully takes over her body and will begin

to… well, do what psychos do.
