Ten Trials of Babel The Doppelganger Maze

Ten Trials of Babel: The Doppelganger Maze is structured as an otome puzzle RPG with death-game framing. Ten races — Humans, Mekas, Spirits, Ghosts, Yaos, Beasts, Relics, Phantoms, and two undisclosed races — are competing in the Babel Cross, a survival contest set across ten Story Worlds that lead up the mysterious Babel Tower. The winners gain evolution and glory; the losers are erased along with their entire race. No StoryDivers have ever cleared the tenth world.

The game's first Story World is Doppelganger, where you arrive as a newcomer alongside three other StoryDivers: Saint, Victor, and Kruger. Triggering the Doppelganger means instant death, the team's surface friendliness conceals restlessness and ominous signs, and the Babel Tower has stripped the ten races of their ability to communicate in language.

Four to eight hours of gameplay, six pursuable characters (two hidden), 15 endings in total across bad endings, character endings, and a grand finale, 18 pixel-art CGs across cutscenes, and 30+ puzzle maps. Mild horror elements run through the otome romance and death-game structure, with English subtitles added in November 2023.
