Lavrynthos places you at the heart of the labyrinth of Crete to tell you the story of the unlikely relationship between the Minotaur and his next meal: a girl named Cora.
A contemporary Greek tragedy paying homage to the cradle of modern dramatic theory while challenging it at the same time. Lavrynthos is a humorous take on a 3000-year-old myth updating it with themes and topics that are relevant in this day and age.
The narrative makes use of an innovative way of moving the player throughout the story by transforming a 2x2m area into an infinite non-euclidean maze that can shift space and time.
Lavrynthos messes up with your sense of direction, space, and balance and can make you get lost inside your own bedroom!
Created with support of the Venice Biennale College, Lavrythos premiered at Venice Film Festival and in 2022 won the Stereopsia Crystal Owl Award for Best Creative Experience.

High marks across the board. Lavrynthos is a wonderful passive narrative experience. The set/character designs are great and the voice acting is very well done. Everything just works so well that you may not even realize it's also demonstrating one of VR's more interesting locomotion technique called redirected walking. It's one of my go to experiences for introducing non games to VR.
