Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Labyrinthus arrived right as Belgium was processing its own Marc Dutroux trauma, making its child-endangerment themes politically loaded in ways international audiences missed.
The 'game' interface was built by actual Belgian indie developers who later said the budget forced them to recycle assets from a canceled 2007 educational project about traffic safety.
