The Shifting Labyrinth

About the Game

You were warned not to enter.

That no one finds the center.

That the Labyrinth shifts behind every step.

But you came anyway.

The Shifting Labyrinth is a solo journaling RPG Zine about navigating a vast, sentient maze that reconfigures itself as you descend. With each room, you uncover strange dangers, cryptic choices, and moments of eerie beauty. What lies at the heart depends on your path,and the story you leave behind.

What You’ll Need

One six sided die (1d6)

A pencil and paper (for notes, maps, or reflections)

This zine (printable on a single sheet, folded into 8 panels)

A quiet place… the Labyrinth listens

What You’ll Do

Roll to discover new rooms as you delve deeper. Face traps, puzzles, and strange encounters. Track your Condition. Reflect on your character’s Drive and what they’re willing to risk.

Eventually reach the Final Chamber, and decide what happens next

This game encourages creative interpretation, minimal mechanics, and a rich, reflective narrative. No two journeys are the same.

Print-Friendly Format

Designed as a compact single page zine, print, fold, and play anywhere.

Story Rich Encouragement

Each room is a blank canvas. What you encounter is up to you. Use the prompts and tables as a foundation, then fill the maze with your own meaning. Let your character’s past bleed into the stones.

The Labyrinth shifts for everyone.
