The game

Daedalus is a platformer and an exploration game set in a spectacular oneiric and surrealist world.

Daedalus, architect and creator of fantastic mechanical artifacts, was imprisoned by King Minos to prevent him from sharing his knowledge of Crete's Labyrinth with others. Every night, in his dreams, Daedalus explores the intricate labyrinths aboard his own winged creations, trying to relive every step, each leap, each flight to freedom, in an attempt to escape his own tragedy.

“He may thwart our escape by land or sea, but the sky is surely open to us…”

Aid him in finding the three platforms that unlock the gate at the end of each level as you explore mysterious, dream-like environments. As the levels progress, both architecture and difficulty grow increasingly complex. Boost, glide, ride wind shafts, use trampolines and activate mechanisms. Will Daedalus escape his own prison?
