A group of travellers are stranded

“Making
a survival game in the desert is in and of itself simple, but
the meta-game issues behind the motives of such a game’s
creation makes for a great twist in the plot (of The Crimson
Labyrinth), adding depth to story development patterns typical
to such tales: exploration, hunting, cat-and-mouse games, mind-games,
betrayal, the basic animal instincts of the human species…Yusuke
Kishi’s strength as a story-writer is unshakable.”
—Ronza magazine
“(The
Crimson Labyrinth) starts out like a game, with a stratified
build-up of vast knowledge and description of survival know-how,
dangerous drugs, poisonous snakes. Once you start reading this
book, you won’t be able to put it down.”
–Lee magazine

Mars. Only one of them will make it out. Who do you think will
make it “back to Earth”?
