Devolver Digital has officially announced a new roguelite called Minos, and have released the first demo for the game on Steam. The announcement comes courtesy of the PC Gaming Show at Tokyo Game Show 2025.
Minos allows players to take on the role of the mythic Minotaur, as they build a labyrinth for adventurers to get trapped and die in. You must constantly adjust your labyrinth, adding new traps, spikes, and more to trip up trespassers. Check out the first trailer for Minos below:
The Steam page describes Minos as follows:
Minos is a maze-building roguelite where you, the fabled Minotaur, must defend your sanctuary from bloodthirsty adventurers.
They’ve heard the stories of a monster in the dark, fame and riches waiting for the one who slays it. What they don’t know is that you are the one who built this maze, laid the traps, and now lie in wait.
Every run brings new enemies, new traps, and new ways to turn their bravery into a bloody disaster. No two nights are ever the same.
Build Your Perfect Trap
Drag walls, gates, and corridors into place to shape your maze however you like. Make long, winding paths full of traps or confuse and split them up with rotating passages and shifting gates. It’s your labyrinth. Cruel or clever, it’s up to you.
Chain Reactions of Death
Every spike, boulder, blade, and fire trap can be linked into intricate sequences. Set pressure plates to trigger a whole cascade of chaos, fooling heroes into thinking they are making progress, right before everything goes beautifully, horribly wrong.
Who’s the Real Monster?
Uncover the story behind the Minotaur and the man who became it. What drove Daedalus to create such a place? When Theseus finally comes, you’ll decide who deserves to walk out alive.
