Rogue Labyrinth hits Steam in September
Battle royale reality show Rogue Labyrinth will hit PC next month.
Revealed today, the game will arrive on September 1 via Steam. A new release date trailer can be seen here.
A synopsis for Rogue Labyrinth reads:
Forced into the twisted competition, players will battle through randomized biomes in the ever-shifting Labyrinth—dodging traps, fighting monsters, and surviving manufactured mayhem. Each run offers new abilities, attacks, and potential allies to discover. Armed with a sharp tongue and a massive smacking stick, Iris can turn nearly anything into a projectile—rocks, debris, furniture, even unconscious contestants—transforming the entire arena into a playground of controlled chaos.
Combat blends frantic bullet-hell dodging with satisfying hack-and-slash action. Players must deflect incoming attacks, launch improvised projectiles, and trigger chaotic chain reactions using the environment itself. With systems like magical abilities, ancient artifacts, and viewer-donated upgrades, each run becomes a chance to experiment with bold strategies and unexpected outcomes. The result is a fast-paced, responsive combat system where anything in the environment can be deflected, redirected, or turned into a projectile, making every run feel unpredictable and unique.
Rogue Labyrinth is built to be accessible for newcomers and rewarding for hardcore roguelite fans. Beyond combat, players explore shifting routes, discover hidden events, and improve their odds by forming relationships. Meals shared with friends or foes improve stats, while interactions with arena staff and hired monsters unlock new narratives with over 4,000 lines of dialogue.
John Bond, Director at Tea Witch Games said this about the game:
“We built Rogue Labyrinth to be immediately satisfying to pick up—whether you’re button-mashing or chasing the perfect combo. There’s a unique rhythm to the game’s chaos. Once players realize they can deflect, bounce, and weaponize nearly everything around them, it becomes this addictive loop of controlled mayhem. It’s accessible at first, but mastering it takes real skill.”
Rogue Labyrinth can be wishlisted right now here. A demo is available for folks looking to check the game out.
