Subspace Brief Facts - Fatal Labyrinth

[@menartd2618]

I didn't know that the gold was supposed to get you more people to attend your funeral. I always thought that it depends on far you've gotten in the castle where you died.

[@popfan95b]

Same. I figured the gold only affects how lavish your gravestone gets while the number of people who show up depends on your character level. I suppose one way that theory could be tested is by dying late in the game without ever picking up any gold. Also, just remembered some fun (?) trivia about the original downloadable title: If you die and no one shows up at your funeral, you get a dog running up to and literally pissing on your grave.

What I find really interesting about this game is how on the surface it looks like a combat-centric game like gauntlet, but in reality it is 100% a puzzle game due to how the combat system and enemy ai works

[@JOEmega64]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video! I think you really nailed what "Fatal Labyrinth" is all about.

[@MaciejRC]

I was looking for this for years...and I remember that the funeral game over was giving me unbelievable creeps and nightmares. This game felt very spooky and scary at the time, because of that game over (I was prob 7-8?).

it's a Japanese ver of gateway to asphai , but more random it really sux when they hide the stairs...usually if u fall threw a pit trap

[@steviewhite450]

Never played Asphai - will have to give it a shot!

[@leroyvisiongames2294]

It kinda reminds me of gauntlet but with a more tactical combat system (as opposed to the real-time combat that games like Gauntlet and Zelda used).

[@steviewhite450]

Matt Ring that's an apt comparison. It's a bit more forgiving than Gauntlet tho!

[@leroyvisiongames2294]

StevieWhite at least you could continue in gauntlet. I have this on the ATgames Sega Genesis 80-in-1 plug n play (shitty sound emulation BTW) and when I get game over it doesn't let me continue like it does for you.

[@sanguine111]

u might need to get to level 5[dungeon] , that's when cont. start on cart

[@popfan95b]

​@@leroyvisiongames2294 As far as I can tell, the game actually has infinite continues. It's just that you are set back to your last checkpoint, which are at levelt 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25. No such luck for the original downloadable version, unfortunately.

[@agustinberthet3073]

The levels are not random. The 30 levels maps are fixed but the order of these are random from playthrough to playthrough

[@anonimonovids]

Agustin Berthet no, only floors 3, 9, 11, 19 and 30 are fixed.

[@seedranka]

@@anonimonovids Yes, all levels maps are pre-made and the order is random but, only 10 and 30 are fixed. You can double check by using Game Genie codes with Hard Resetting going through multiple games. The RNG doesnt re-rolls levels all the time as seen with save and loading states.

Actually gold is to get a better funeral service and more detailed things on your grave like how far you got I think or more attention/a special grave he wouldn't know who to give the money to and most likely the only one he'd give it to is the grave guy
