In the depths of space, a powerful force is stirring. The mining ship Dalia was out looking for signs of alien life when all inhabitants on board disappeared in a flash, leaving nothing behind. A distress signal from the ship revealed a series of inhuman screams on board.

A hapless space captain has been ordered to put together a team and investigate the ship to find out what became of the crew. Their mission is to discover what happened out there. However space is cold and lonely. The depths of Oblivion do strange things to the mind. Their greatest danger may lie amongst themselves...

Welcome To Labyrinth IV: Through Oblivion!

This is the fourth installment in the "official" Labyrinth series. After falling prey to sinister traps, ancient monsters, deadly leviathans and murderous mimes, a brave group of heroes are now needed to find out what lurks in the depths of space. Not all of them will turn out to be heroes, however, as players may ultimately choose to go down a darker path.

Renowned for its sense of immersion and atmosphere, Labyrinth is a forum game experience that will push your nerves and senses to the limit. Players will create a character and explore a deadly maze along with groups of others. As they progress, day by day, the group will slowly dwindle as players fall prey to the dangers within and to the schemes of one another.

Players are isolated by location, only ever having access to see the room they currently inhabit. They may go their separate ways, only to meet up later under very different circumstances. They will find items and devices to help them achieve their goals as they explore. Ultimately though, few have ever survived the Labyrinth and lived to tell about it.

Will you be one of them?

Applications for the game will be open until the end of April, which is when the game is due to start.

The application form is here:
Application Form

The game is open to a large number of applicants, but there is an upper limit on how many can be taken on each time.

If you'd like to know more about the game and series, information on past games and a full gameplay guide are posted on the game forum, along with my contact details if you have any questions.

Lab is the best online experience I've ever had. You take out what you out in, and the effort is so worth it. Definitely recommend.

These are by far the best games I have ever played in. It may seem overwhelming reading the guide at first, but it's not at all hard and its very quick to learn. It's an incredibly unique series and everyone should consider giving it a try.

Bump to answer a few common questions and an update on the game schedule.

Game Start:
The game is due to start April 25th (on a Saturday). The board will open to account registration and pre-game threads on April 23rd. This process will last 48 hours, with Phase 1 of the game kicking off on April 25th at 6 PM EST.

I need to have applications in by April 20th so I can finalise characters and create avatars. Earlier is better, but I will accept late applications.


Characters:
Had a couple of questions about characters. Characters are entirely changeable and not an important part of the application, provided people are open to their character choices being tweaked to match the game. If you apply with a character and then change your mind on it before April 20th, it's not a problem.

I also don't need you to provide character information with the initial application. If you don't want to opt out but aren't sold on your character yet, you're free to leave that blank. It won't penalise the application at all. In the Lab 3 application process, there were a lot of tweaks and changes that had to be made. At the moment I'm more interested in ascertaining players than I am the characters they're likely to play.

Last point: Don't feel constrained by the game setting/era. Most characters can be worked in or tweaked to fit.


Spectators:
I am taking on spectators again. If you don't have the time to commit to the game but want to watch it all unfold, you're free to watch. Just remember that Labyrinth relies on discretion. Spectators will be able to watch and post commentary but not interact with the people playing. The game works best in isolation.

It's a good chance for people who are curious but unsure if they want to commit to playing. Watching the game unfold is a tremendous amount of fun, since you can see how people's decisions tie into and affect one another without their being aware. It plays out in a very entertaining way.


Last point: Instead of prologues, I'm going to be posting updates in the GMC Console section of the Lab 4 forum for this game. These posts will feature information about the mission, leading into the game. This section will be updated during the game as well.

The first of these has been posted: http://www.ndimforums.com/lab4/thread.asp?threadid=10

Any questions about apps, spectating or the game, just drop me a message:
