Hello,
My name is Daniel Serrano Robles, and I'm a master's student from Mexico participating in an academic research project on video games and history. We've noticed the existence of some game jams focused on historical themes, and have selected some games to include in our study. We're interested in gathering the perspectives of some of their participants, and have created a survey to do so.
It would be extremely helpful to our research if the creators of this video game could complete the prepared survey. You can find the survey at the following Google Forms link:

We hope we can count on your support. Have a nice day!
Wow, this was extremely well written.
That was all the great work of MysterySteve!
Great Game Overall! I can see how much efforts you put in it. Good Job!
Thanks! We're really new to this so I appreciate the feedback.
This is a great recreation of the myth!
I love visual novels and the art and music are really good, they fit the atmosphere and give it a unique touch. I loved it until the end :)
Thanks so much!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
I just spent a very pleasant 35 minutes playing this to completion. I'm already familiar with the truth/liar logic puzzles and the stereoscopic images but they are always fun (you can actually do it with a computer keyboard if you try :)). I wasn't sure about the maze so I took a guess and was right (sic). Very enjoyable as I managed to pick four truth-sayers for the final challenge and slew the minotaur.
Thanks! I particularly appreciate the feedback on how long it took - not something you can easily test when you know the answers.
Very good logic puzzles!
Thanks!
nice game!
Thanks!
I would be very grateful if you you will try my game!
Good game, enjoyed playing it . Made a bloody guess at the end (or didn't I?) - and brought my most precious feathery treasure back home :-) It's only now that I've have realized how well all the Greek Mythology is interwoven. Daedalus gives Ariadne the clue as how Theseus can escape the labyrinth, and for that is imprisoned by the king in his own tower he built. It all makes sense - clever guys these Ol' Greeks were!
Thanks! I think with all of the Greek submissions we could craft together some sort of sequence to play the submissions/storyline together to 'learn' the myths :)
Haha, this is exactly what also came to my mind!
Really liked it, but i think it would be too hard for people that dont know what stereograms are or how to look at them.
Thanks! Stereograms are proving to be a love-it or hate-it topic!
A web browser version can also be played here (performance is slightly worse, but it's otherwise identical): https://the-minotaur.netlify.app/.
Amazing game! I was enchanted the entire way through. Great writing, great programming!
Thanks!
