What is it?
Welcome to the Labyrinth is a playable puzzle podcast where each episode contains a puzzle. Solving all the puzzles gives an opportunity to effect the ending of the story!
Below are links to the episodes and transcripts. This list updates when new episodes are released.
I highly recommend listening to the episodes in order. Starting with "Episode 0" is especially important for understanding the show's format :)
