Orestes must fulfill his destiny by trial in the Labyrinth beneath
the palace and find the solution to the puzzle, or perish in the
attempt.
The inter-connecting chambers were created by the gods to
punish errant mortals and hidden in 16 special rooms are
objects known as Euclidian shapes, geometric designs based
on triangles, circles and squares; six of which, when
positioned correctly in the Guardian's chamber reveal the exit
and success. This chamber however is home of the
Demi-Gods who use their power of illusion to prevent
discovery of the shapes-Orestes must be wary of this deceit!
To assist our Hero in his search the Gods have revealed the
solution to Electra imprisoned beneath the palace, "Find
Electra", Orestes is told, "She will lead you to the shapes you
need", but without the help of Electra, Orestes must determine
which shapes from which rooms must be taken to the
Guardian's chamber.
Terrifying illusionary creatures by the Demi-Gods will try to
sap Orestes'strength.. .he is advised by Zeus "Whenever you
feel weak go at once to the Guardian's chamber where your
strength will be restored" — If the creatures can be killed their
power will temporarily be lost. "Use this fact to your
advantage" advises Apollo.
Finally Orestes is warned that Clytaemnestra has learned of
his task from a soothsayer. She has entered the catacombs to
kill Electra, making Orestes task all the more difficult since he
must protect his sister-without her he may never solve the
puzzle!
Orestes enters the darkness from where no human has ever
returned. . .
