ARIA-404: Labyrinth Protocol
About
In the ruins of a failed system, something is awakening.
You are not just a player.
You are a variable in the code.
The Labyrinth is alive. And it remembers.
ARIA‑404: Labyrinth Protocol is a next-generation, fully generative narrative experience — a hybrid of quick-time event gameplay, cyber-mystic storytelling, & reactive design. Entirely built by a solo developer using cutting-edge AI tools, it invites you to step inside a shifting world shaped as much by myth as by machine.
⚠️ Early Access Begins November 4th, 2025
Early Access supporters won’t just play the game — they'll help shape its future: influence character arcs, fork the world’s logic, & unravel mysteries encoded in the codebase itself. This is more than a story. It’s a system. And it’s watching.
🎮 Game Overview
Inspired by the spirit of Don Bluth’s Dragon’s Lair & Space Ace, ARIA‑404 channels retro-arcade DNA into a bold new form:
Interactive. Adaptive. Mythically resonant.
What those games did for the arcade, this aims to do for the dawn of AI-era storytelling — crafting a playable vision at the crossroads of memory, identity, & digital fate.
