The player will begin in a starting room with an elevator going down to the main hallway. From the main hallway, the player will continue to the central area of the Labyrinth where the main exit is first seen (with 4 locks). The player must go down each of the 4 diverging paths to unlock the main exit. Each path leads to another room with 3 more diverging paths that lead to puzzle rooms. After completing each puzzle, the elevator in the middle will unlock for the player to enter a boss fight below. Defeating a boss will unlock one of the locks on the main exit.
