They’ve heard the stories of a fearsome monster lurking in the dark, fame and riches waiting for the one who slays it and survives to tell the tale. What they don’t know is that you are the one who built this confounding labyrinth, laid the traps and now lie in wait.

Drag walls, gates and corridors into place to shape your maze however you like. Make long, winding paths full of traps or confuse and split the interlopers up with rotating passages and shifting gates. It’s your maze: clever or cruel, it’s up to you.

Every run brings new enemies, new traps and new ways to turn their bravery into a bloody disaster. No two nights are ever the same in Minos, and as you play, you’ll learn more about this not-so-mythical minotaur and the man who became it.

Step into the hooves of the legendary minotaur to defend your confounding, trap-filled sanctuary from hordes of bloodthirsty, self-serving adventurers in Minos' maze-building roguelike, confirmed today for a Spring 2026 release

Artificer revealed Minos' release window while touring the game's captivating challenge in the above gameplay overview.

The video demonstrates the trove of lethal problem solving options at hand to deal with the bands of treasure-hunting adventurers hellbent on snooping around in your labyrinth. Shape the very walls of the maze to bewilder them, lay traps for unwitting intruders, and observe how you might be forced to take control of the minotaur while getting your hands (and horns) dirty if these interlopers manage to get too close to the heart of your new home.

Can’t wait until spring to dispatch would-be heroes from the ever-shifting walls of their future tomb? Check out a new playable demo on Steam to get a headstart on devising the downfall of treasure hunters

Time to show those adventurers who’s boss.

You can venture into the labyrinth when Minos launches for PC (Steam) in Spring 2026.
