After a short intro, the strong curse starts to take effect and both protagonists fall down to the heart of the labyrinth. Luckily, there is a gate in front of the investigator and he can enter it and explore the chamber behind it. It's important to talk to any ghost/skeleton or other creature he meets; they are eager to tell him important infromation and explain how to move around the place. By the door is a grid map - the same map you find in each room, always exactly in the same state in which you left it in the previous room - and with panels you obtain one by one you can create the path from one room to another. On the map are marked important chambers where you need to solve a puzzle or two, and also find hints to the puzzles. There is more to be discovered in the labyrinth as few rooms are secret - notice, that you can finish the game without finding them.

The Ferociter's game isn't easy but has the right amount of difficulty followed by the deep satisfaction if you solve a puzzle on your own. The game is more puzzler than platformer - it has only one jumping part (not difficult) and a few time puzzles with not too tough timing. Notice, that there is a way how to move up in the labyrinth and you get the information at the right time. Controlled by AD/Cursor keys, Z/K/Up/W to jump, X/L to aim or interact, Down/S to crouch, P pause, M mute.

At the beginning you may feel a bit confused but after you understand the game's style and the rules of moving around the labyrinth, you are rewarded with very clever and intriguing game with a replay value.
