Labyrinth is a Commodore 64 game where you play as an ordinary citizen on their way to a movie theater. In the south cinema, you chat with two teenagers about the actual movie at hand. A hush falls upon the room and the in-game film begins – here's where you discover that you've been chosen to be the thrall of Jareth the Goblin King, who must be defeated to finish the game. You have 13 meager hours to complete this task or risk being lost in the labyrinth forever.
The gameplay involves navigating through a maze-like environment, avoiding obstacles and collecting keys to progress. The player's goal is to reach the center of the labyrinth within the given time limit, while also avoiding Jareth's minions and overcoming challenges along the way.
