About MINOS
Minos puts you in the role of a Minotaur who builds a deadly maze to protect a sanctuary. Each run generates fresh enemies, traps, and layout possibilities, so no two nights feel the same.
The game mixes maze construction, trap linking, and roguelite progression, letting you drag walls, gates, and corridors to shape passages, then watch adventurers fall into your engineered chaos while uncovering the Minotaur’s hidden story.
01 / THE GUIDE
Maze Construction
You can drag walls, gates, and corridors into place, shaping the labyrinth however you like. The description notes that you may create long, winding paths or split routes with rotating passages and shifting gates.
Each run provides a new layout, requiring you to redesign your trap‑laden pathways each night. This encourages experimentation with both cruel and clever designs.
- Start with a simple corridor before adding rotating sections to see how enemies react.
- Use shifting gates to force adventurers into dead‑ends where traps await.
02 / THE GUIDE
Trap Chain Reactions
Every spike, boulder, blade, and fire trap can be linked into intricate sequences. Pressure plates may trigger a cascade that appears helpful before it turns deadly.
Linking traps lets you create moments where heroes think they are progressing, only to be met with a “beautiful, horribly wrong” outcome.
- Place a pressure plate at the start of a hallway to activate multiple traps.
- Combine fire traps with boulders to add area denial after the initial trigger.

Story Discovery
The narrative unfolds as you uncover why the Minotaur exists and what drove Daedalus to create the maze. The story reveals what drove Daedalus to create such a place.
Encountering characters such as Theseus provides additional context, allowing you to decide how the story influences your maze design for later runs.
- Pay attention to story details that touch on Daedalus’s motives.
- Consider how revealed lore could inspire thematic trap placements.
04 / THE GUIDE
Single‑Player Mode
Minos is listed as a single‑player experience, meaning you design and defend the maze without other players. This focus lets you experiment freely with layouts and trap combos.
The solo nature lets you pause between runs to review what worked, adjust designs, and try new strategies at your own pace.
- Use the freedom of single‑player to test extreme trap combinations.
- Take short breaks between runs to reflect on successful patterns.
05 / THE GUIDE
Controller Support
The game offers full controller support, including compatibility with DualShock and DualSense controllers. This allows you to navigate menus and place objects using a gamepad.
Full controller support is listed alongside other Steam features, confirming that a controller can be used for the core building and navigation functions.
- Try both DualShock and DualSense controllers to see which feels more comfortable for placement.
- If a controller feels imprecise, switch to another supported model and compare.
