House of Asterion

A minimalist narrative adventure, its core is a series of stark choices delivered with economical prose. You're the Minotaur, and each decision, from the mundane to the macabre, shapes your perception of the labyrinth and your inevitable fate. Its replayability stems from the branching paths and the unsettling atmosphere, which lingers long after the final choice.
