Publisher Devolver Digital and Sumerian Six developer Artificer have announced MINOS, a new maze-building roguelike game.

MINOS is in development for Windows PC (via Steam) with a release set for 2026. A playable demo is available now.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:

Minos is a maze-building roguelite where you, the fabled Minotaur, must defend your sanctuary from bloodthirsty adventurers.

They’ve heard the stories of a monster in the dark, fame and riches waiting for the one who slays it. What they don’t know is that you are the one who built this maze, laid the traps, and now lie in wait.

Every run brings new enemies, new traps, and new ways to turn their bravery into a bloody disaster. No two nights are ever the same.

Features

• Build Your Perfect Trap – Drag walls, gates, and corridors into place to shape your maze however you like. Make long, winding paths full of traps or confuse and split them up with rotating passages and shifting gates. It’s your labyrinth. Cruel or clever, it’s up to you.
• Chain Reactions of Death – Every spike, boulder, blade, and fire trap can be linked into intricate sequences. Set pressure plates to trigger a whole cascade of chaos, fooling heroes into thinking they are making progress, right before everything goes beautifully, horribly wrong.
• Who’s the Real Monster? – Uncover the story behind the Minotaur and the man who became it. What drove Daedalus to create such a place? When Theseus finally comes, you’ll decide who deserves to walk out alive.
