Lavrynthos
NarrativeLavrynthos places you at the heart of the labyrinth of Crete to tell you the story of the unlikely relationship between the Minotaur and his next meal: a girl named Cora.
A contemporary Greek tragedy paying homage to the cradle of modern dramatic theory while challenging it at the same time. Lavrynthos is a humorous take on a 3000-year-old myth updating it with themes and topics that are relevant in this day and age.
The narrative makes use of an innovative way of moving the player throughout the story by transforming a 2x2m area into an infinite non-euclidean maze that can shift space and time.
Lavrynthos messes up with your sense of direction, space, and balance and can make you get lost inside your own bedroom!
Created with support of the Venice Biennale College, Lavrythos premiered at Venice Film Festival and in 2022 won the Stereopsia Crystal Owl Award for Best Creative Experience.

Stopped working
It worked once and then hasn’t worked for about two weeks
🥰
I absolutely loved this so cool and free would buy it even wishing and hopeing for mor to be added! Beautiful very engagingand so different from any other narrative/ game in VR! Great job devs👍🏼🥰
Is funny story and walking maze sim, but
Even I have big enough room space, but you can't change the location where to begin, it auto set the worst position in my living room have a bar table I can't move, although I still can use my joystick to move around (you need 2x2m space, and there are no rotation for your body), but this make me much less immersive! if fix it I will give five stars.
Amazing, educational, funny, engaging
Lavrynthos is an amazing game! Seriously, I had a blast playing it. While it’s a bit short—about 30 minutes to complete—it left a great impression on me. It’s a labyrinth-style game, similar to others I’ve played, but the design and execution here are top-notch. I also loved that you occasionally need to crawl, which adds an extra layer of immersion. The story is pretty engaging too, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, despite its brevity, it's definitely worth a play!
High marks across the board
Lavrynthos is a wonderful passive narrative experience. The set/character designs are great and the voice acting is very well done. Everything just works so well that you may not even realize it's also demonstrating one of VR's more interesting locomotion technique called redirected walking. It's one of my go to experiences for introducing non games to VR.
Amazing and Smart!
Such an unexpected and heart-touching experience, congratulations!
