All-new trailer reveals fresh puzzle mechanics, a romancing system, and new characters

June 3, 2025 — HeroCraft PC and indie studio Potata Company today revealed that Lord Ambermaze, their whimsical yet deadly turn-based puzzle-dungeon crawler, will launch on Steam on August 14, 2025.


The release date was unveiled alongside an all-new gameplay trailer during the MIX Summer Showcase — highlighting never-before-seen puzzle types (including sokoban mechanics), new characters, some looking like a pile of rocks, and a lighthearted romance system where players give gifts to island inhabitants to deepen relationships.

Inspired by classic Zelda adventures and Crypt of the NecroDancer, Lord Ambermaze invites players to explore a mysterious island where every step matters — literally. You move, the world moves.
A once-ordinary fishing trip ends in disaster: your sister has been kidnapped by a madman bent on sacrifice, and you’re trapped in a labyrinthine island full of traps, monsters, and secrets. To save her, you'll need to navigate intricate mazes, master turn-based combat, and even flirt your way through awkward romantic encounters.

Game features:
 
  • Puzzle-first dungeon design: Every level is a hand-crafted logic challenge
  • Turn-based combat: Outsmart enemies and traps with no time pressure
  • Time-based movement: The island only reacts when you do
  • Dating mechanics: Gift island residents to spark relationships
  • Side activities: Catch fish, uncover secrets, and find love
  • Boss fights: Unique mechanics that demand different approaches
