Play Dedale Online
Creepy chiptune echoes as you sprint through shifting corridors, mapping dead ends before spike traps or slamming walls cut off your escape. That MS-DOS maze doesn’t just confuse you—it feels alive and hungry.
Dedale is a maze exploration game from the MS-DOS Classic Games collection, originally released in the early 1990s. It was developed by a small team, though specific names are not widely documented. The game fits into that era of PC gaming where simple concepts were executed with a focus on tension and player navigation rather than elaborate graphics or story.
You control a lone explorer navigating a labyrinth filled with traps and shifting walls. Your main objective is to find the exit of each maze while avoiding hazards like spike traps and crushing barriers. The game relies on screen by screen movement, forcing you to memorize layouts and anticipate sudden environmental changes. Pacing is deliberately slow and methodical, with a high difficulty that punishes rushed decisions. Playing Dedale feels like a tense, solitary battle against an unpredictable and hostile architecture.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
