Frequency Labyrinth

A Reality-Shifting Platformer Across 8 Interdimensional Channels

The labyrinth is alive. Every frequency you tune reveals a different world — and a different danger.

Frequency Labyrinth is a mind-bending platformer where reality shifts with every keystroke. You control a lone explorer trapped in a procedurally generated maze that exists across 8 distinct frequency channels. Each channel rewrites the rules of physics, perception, and danger. To escape, you must navigate the labyrinth, collect artifacts, and survive the creatures that bleed between dimensions.

📡 The Premise

You awaken in a vast, shifting labyrinth — a maze that exists simultaneously across 8 different frequencies. Your only tool is a frequency tuner that lets you switch between channels instantly.

But each channel has its own laws:

• Channel 1 — Gravity flips. The ceiling is the floor.
• Channel 2 — Time slows. Movement becomes deliberate.
• Channel 3 — Controls invert. Nothing is as it seems.
• Channel 4 — Enemies become invisible. Only their sound reveals them.
• Channel 5 — The floor is lava. Stay on your toes.
• Channel 6 — The world mirrors. Left is right.
• Channel 7 — Phase shift. Walk through thin walls.
• Channel 8 — Normal reality. A brief respite.

The labyrinth responds to your frequency. So do the creatures that hunt you.
