Note: The web version is a pure visual novel with practically no game-play. If you are looking for maze exploration and combat download the version corresponding to your OS.
Time Labyrinth is a visual novel/dungeon crawler. The story is about a young man and his dog traveling back in time 10 seconds to avert a tragedy.
Ten confesses to his long time crush, Angel, but little does he know that the world's out to ruin their date. The first problem seems to be that his dog Seconds is tagging along too, and after that it all goes downhill. Luckily Seconds can time travel 10 seconds into the past after exploring a deadly maze. It's gonna be a long day.
The source code is included in the downloads.

Hi, I just finished playing your game, and I have got to say, I LOVED IT *^* The main story itself was so amazing >u< Though, when I finish the last maze, and chose to let Angel go, when Ten goes over to the kids, errors just keep on appearing till it ends. I hope you'll fix it.
Thank you wery much. We are very happy you guys enjoyed it! :D @YamaxChrome8096: Sorry about the errors, we submited this literally in the last minutes. All the critical errors are fixed now.
Your game is fantastic! Beautiful art. The music is nice. Wow, this game was a lot longer than I expected. The dungeons were a nice touch. Amazing job.
Interesting Framework. What is it, that you used? I liked the mixture of visual novel and dungeon crawler. And the amount of graphics, backgrounds, enemies! Although the novel was a bit lengthy sometimes. But I liked the weird ideas.
I'm not going to lie, I was getting sick of watching the story line, was the any part of this where you interacted with the game other than the occasional "You choose your path" kind of dialogue" Other than that the graphics were amazing, and audio was pretty great too.
Honestly, maybe this isn't for me. I became bored before I got to any sort of game mechanics beyond one or two dialogue choices. It was just click, read, click, read, click read.
Well made overall. Personally didn't care much for the dungeon crawler parts. Some of the character traits (mainly the main character's) were pretty cliché - but it was amusing, so that's fine.
I found that the music in the game worked very well.
While I found the writing to be quite aright, you should probably try to put a little more effort into spelling and grammar next time.

Writer of the game here, to reply to some things.
@nikkesen, Yeah it was a heck of a challenge to write all the story in so little time, and then insert the images, that was all done so fast I swear my head spun near the end. Glad you enjoyed all the game.
@ratking, Sorry that it felt a little lengthy at times to you. Writing is what I do, so I tend to write lengthy works, being more of a novelist this is one of my shortest works I've done.
@Andrew Shouldice, Heh, twists are something I enjoy, both crafting in plots and writing. Glad you liked it.
@DissidentDan, I sorry you couldn't enjoy it. The visual novel genre probably isn't for you. It is a lot of text, since novel with choice branches to change the story, we tied it together with dungeon crawler, to create a little more 'game' to it.
@Deep Water Games, Sorry that it got boring. We had plans to make it more complex and not so stagnate, but with 3 days, we had to cut and change ideas.
@Literal Games, Thanks, yeah I'm honestly impressed I managed to write so much in so little time. 2 1/2 days it took to write all of it, the other half was inserting the sprites into the script, (I had to do it, since programmer was busy working on the crawler). I'm sure the artists are happy to hear you say that. And thanks, we wanted to do something different from 'finish this is 10 seconds' and so on. And being a writer, I made it clear to everyone else that theme had to tie into the storyline itself. The writer in me just wouldn't allow anything different haha.
@Yaguar, Thanks, we might have had some of those tears happen during the process itself.
@tobbez, Can you explain what about the characters you found cliche? Oh man yes, that spelling and grammar, not going to lie, I want to kill myself looking at it. I had NO time to go over it, so what you see is literally the first draft of the writing. 2 1/2 days to write 11,000 words and then go through correct errors, tighten it up, fix awkward points, on a total of 8 hours of sleep, and no food, too much to handle, at least for me. I was so dead my mind was just lost in the twilight zone somewhere.
