Liking it a lot so far! You should consider adding a prompt letting you know when an item has been taken. I found the stone statue early on, and tried to take the sword and lantern it was holding. Neither prompted anything, but when I checked my inventory, it said I had a lantern but it didn't list the sword. Do I have the sword? Not sure.

That’s a wonderful question, and I truly appreciate you taking the time to wander that far within the Labyrinth! Yes, at its core, this is absolutely a text adventure, but one built around a very different philosophy. The Labyrinth of Time’s Edge isn’t a puzzle box to be solved; it’s a world meant to be experienced. Every room, every description, every eerie echo is part of a greater story being uncovered piece by piece. The objective isn’t simply to win, it’s to lose yourself in the world. Exploration is the heart of it. The further you go, the more you start to sense the strange rhythm of the place, its tone, its whispers, its sense of hidden design. Puzzles and interactive elements do exist, though they emerge more subtly as you progress deeper into the castle and beyond. You’re not just exploring a game, you’re walking through a story that’s still being written. And I’m honored to have you along for the journey.
Thank you so much for playing truly means the world to me that you’re enjoying your journey through the Labyrinth! That’s a great point about the item prompt; I really appreciate you catching that. Some of the older interactions don’t yet display proper pickup messages (a side effect of how massive the system has become), but I’ll be refining that soon, so every item gives clear feedback when taken. As for the sword, you should have it depending on the version you’re playing, but I’ll double-check that specific interaction to be sure it’s behaving as intended. This kind of feedback helps me keep shaping the world piece by piece, so thank you again for taking the time to share it. Every small detail brings the Labyrinth closer to perfection.
