O Herói dos Labirintos

The Hero of the Labyrinths is a game funded by the Brazilian Funding Agency for Studies and Projects (FINEP), a federal public company linked to the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI), through the Ateliê DUA-GAMES project. It is an adventure and platform game that combines elements of parkour, stealth, and puzzle-solving, set in a universe inspired by Greek mythology. The player takes on the role of Arthur, a boy who discovers his true divine origin while facing an epic journey of survival. The game unfolds through five distinct phases, each presenting unique challenges and progressively more complex mechanics. In the Labyrinth, the player must escape the fearsome Minataura through escape, hiding, and parkour mechanics, dodging natural obstacles until finding a mysterious portal. The Black Labyrinth challenges with reduced visibility, where Arthur carries a torch and faces deadly traps such as moving walls, pendulum hammers, spikes, false floors, and saws, culminating in the Sphinx's enigma that tests the player's intelligence. After a dramatic twist, Arthur falls into the Labyrinth-Basement, where he must escape a Giant Spider, using stealth and agility to find a hidden key and open a liberating chest. Finally, in the Golden Apple Field, the player must use cunning to outwit vigilant baby dragons and conquer the magical artifact that will take him back home. Created collaboratively by elementary school children, the game highlights values ​​such as courage, wisdom, and perseverance, proving that heroes can emerge from the most unexpected situations.
