, creator of Lewdest Labyrinth, has published a demo for his next game. If you've been following his twitter, you've probably seen that his art has improved a lot since his last game. After playing it, I'm pretty sure this isn't a sequel to Lewdest Labyrinth, despite the title.Night Labyrinths is a turn based dungeon crawler with a mix of handmade and randomly generated dungeons. The night spawns monster filled labyrinths that manifest throughout the city, luring it's citizens into them. Your goal is to navigate each labyrinth to reach the staircase to the next floor, mystery dungeon style. The gameplay is very simple; Attack the enemy in front of you with the Z (or whatever you've bound as the confirm button) button until it dies. When enemies attack you, lewd cut-ins will sometimes appear, and their attacks raise your tension meter, which makes you more vulnerable when it maxes out. The enemy variety is mostly tentacles and humans, with some other types of monsters, similar to his previous game. When you lose you're sent back to your home which acts like a hub area for you to purchase items to use on the next attempt. This game is a rogue-lite, so you lose your levels, skills and items whenever a run ends win or lose, but there are multiple ways to grow and gain more stats, so the game gets easier even when you lose. For example, when you map enough tiles during a run, you gain a permanent bonus to HP, and later to another stat, as an exploration bonus. You can also purchase permanent stat upgrades from the shop once you unlock the upgrades by exploring.
The game has a skill system where enemies drop random skills for you to acquire, adding some variety to runs. There's also a system where the skills you find are either "normal" or "perverted/pink". The latter skill pool is accessed by drinking an aphrodisiac or changing to topless mode while in the home base. There are alternate modes planned that you access through the "preparation" menu in the home base, but at the moment the only option is to activate topless mode, which changes the standing sprite to be topless, changes your stat scaling as you level up, and starts your skills in perverted mode.
The controls are as follows (These can be customized in the settings):
WASD - Movement
Q - Strafe Left
E - Strafe Right
X / Left Click - Attack / Confirm
Z - Wait / Cancel
Enter - Interact (doors, stairs)
Tab - Item Shortcut
ESC - Menu
Right click will also close menus
Gamepad controls are supported, please see the key config in game

After having played through the demo's content, I think it's a pretty strong start. I may be a little biased since I was a fan of the first game. Wish there was more penetration though, most of it is groping and stuff I'd call "light". Most of the good stuff in the demo is found in the second area, but I cleared the first area twice before trying to take on the sewers. Apparently there's plans for game over CGs later, so I hope we get some hardcore gangbang scenes from those. By the way, I tagged this game as both RPG and ADV, but which is more appropriate for a dungeon crawler with no story element?
