Daedalian Depths: Unravel the clues and escape the labyrinth

by Rami Hansenne

You wake up and find yourself in a strange and eerie place. Numbered doors lead off into the unknown, but which one to select and what awaits beyond? Daedalian Depths locks the reader into an otherworldly labyrinth wherein astute readers may recognize the myriad clues embedded in the text and enigmatic illustrations. Gather your wits, challenge your perceptive and deductive abilities, and try to escape. But make too many wrong choices and the maze may swallow you whole.

This is a mind twisting book you could read in a few minutes, but if you want to solve the mystery, prepare to spend several hours poring over the text and illustrations. Inspired by the puzzle-book tradition of Christopher Manson's Maze, you will need to go back and forth between the pages, scrutinizing each clue. You will likely find yourself doubling back and going around in circles, but the persistent reader will find their way out and meet their destiny.

I'm not sure I can count this book as read, as it's mostly images, and I have not solved it.

I've been dully informed that the puzzles are better than the book that directly inspired this one.

The artwork, however, is tragically not as clear. The Maze had a consistency of style reminiscent of Gorey. The drawing style here is more uneven, and, since we are looking for secret doors, makes me wish the images were twice as large, but with the same amount of detail.

Cool, but I'm not satisfied with the "solve."

this maze was fairly easy I only took one wrong turn, but still a fun little book.
