Labyrinth Video Game Promotional Image

On August 23rd, 2014 the official Miracle Musical twitted tweeted a date: "12.13.14", the tweet was deleted shortly afterwards [1] On the teased date of 13th of December 2014, a music video for Labyrinth was released to YouTube[2] and a PC based video game which went by the same name, developed by Wonderfling Studios was also released.[3] The music video was directed by Ben Luce who also worked closely with the producers at Wonderfling studios over the course of the game's production.

The game is a top-down 2d adventure, wherein you play as Shane MauX, adventuring and trying to escape the labyrinth. The game is played with the directional arrow keys, with "z" swinging the sword (once you obtain it). The player's health is indicated by a rainbow, which loses colours as the player takes damage. The game is in the retro style of the music video, and it's soundtrack was later released as Hawaii Partii

The game has 3 Levels:

1. Cave / Open Mic
2. Caldera of Confusion
3. Fortress of Misfortune

Lyrics

See how I circle
Imaginary mind
Imaginary lines 
Let the maze of my design carry you on

Just bumped my head and my face turns purple
Running through hurdles
Running in circles
Trying to escape from this thing that I fear
Everything seems clear like the end is near

In the rear
I can see the beast getting close
Surrounded by ghosts in a cloud of smoke

The smoke reeks of failure
I don't want to fail
But all the stairwells lead straight to hell
So I'm jumping trap doors in the floor 'fore they floor me
Focus on the love and the light right before me

Walls keep spinning and my path keeps turning
Patience thinning and my calves keep burning
Hotter than a furnace
Suddenly I'm learning
Maybe I finally reached the point of no return and
East is North and West is South
I feel like I'm 'a never get out
I'm trapped

See how I circle
Imaginary mind
Imaginary lines 
Let the maze of my design carry you on
See how I fly away

Behind me my ex-girl's chasing me
In front of me my next girl's facing me
Awaiting me
The light's in my sight but I can't cross these enemy lines I'm behind
I can feel the fatigue but I'm dying to shine
But the road winds
I rewind, I rewind

Got to find a new place to hide for the night
Will I ever escape
Boy I try and I try
Everybody's watching me
I'm dying to get out
In the glass labyrinth I am the mouse

See how I circle
(I'm trapped)

It's just a game you
Play here in this labyrinth
[Maze] 

Chorus Demo Lyrics

See how I circle
A figment of your mind
Imaginary lines 
Let the maze of my design carry you on

Royal Lions Chorus Lyrics

Turned off the numbness
The lovers in your mind
The pathways that unwind now
An endless system to cross and now we're lost
