While ''Labyrinth of Refrain'' is similar to games like ''VideoGame/EtrianOdyssey'' and ''VideoGame/DemonGaze'', it does several things which set it apart from the crowd. For one thing; party members can be assigned to "pacts", which not only allow you to assign different numbers of characters to a party slot, but also determines what types of donum (magic) they can cast. The game also has no RandomEncounters; enemy can be seen on the map at all times, and can be avoided or tackled at the player's leisure.
A sequel, titled ''Coven and Labyrinth of Galleria'' was released in Japan in 2020, and was released in early 2023 as ''[[VideoGame/LabyrinthOfGalleriaTheMoonSociety Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society]]'' in English.

* BlindIdiotTranslation: Some Pacts have their descriptions be different than what the actual effects are. For example, the Charmer Pact description says it subtracts 50% of Charm from other stats, when the actual effect is the beneficial ''adding'' 50% of Charm value to other stats. Another Pacts description says it increases drop rate according to Luck, when it's based on Karma instead.

* EveryoneIsBi: As far as your puppets can have sexuality anyway. The highest Rapport a unit can have with another is "Hopelessly in Love", and this is regardless of either units' genders. This might be justified since you can change a puppet's gender anytime with Soul Transfer, and rapports carry over between transfers. Additionally, there's a Pact called Eternal Love, but the requirements are simply the two Attackers be Sun Sign and Moon Sign, with no gender restrictions.
* ExperienceBooster: Pacts can modify the amount of experience received by each unit slotted into it, both positively and negatively. Some notable Pacts that are useful for grinding:
** Parasitic Pact severely weakens the two Attackers and make them receive only 20% EXP, but the one Support unit can receive 185%. Symbiotic Pact is a stronger version of Parasitic. It weakens the three Attackers even more and make them receive only 5%, but the Support gets 350%. These two aren't as good as the others but they're available pretty early, and useful for new units to catch-up.
** The MetalSlime Lord Pinya can drop Heaps of EXP Pact, which makes the one Attacker receive 220% EXP, while the two Supports receive 160%. The even rarer Grand Duke Pinya can drop the better Heaps of EXP G Pact, which has three Attackers receiving 360% EXP and three Supports receiving 220%.
** The Moonlight Pact, dropped by one endgame boss. The sole Attacker only receives 35% EXP, but the three Supporters get 180%, 220%, and 240% respectively.

If you examine it, you'll be forced into a fight with the {{Superboss}} of the area, whom you're not supposed to fight until much, much later. You can't escape from the fight either, so you can only watch as the boss annihilates your party. No, there aren't any hints beforehand that this will trigger the fight. It's particularly egregious since the other Superbosses are either well-hidden or have story scenes that make it clear you're not supposed to fight them.

They use the specialized weapon in their artwork, start with that weapon when created, they have innate S-rank for that weapon, and they have skills that only activate when that weapon is equipped. While any weapon can be equipped to anyone, it's best to stick with their preferred weapon until more customization options open up.

** When you confront King Alice at the end of Umbra, he'll give you a choice to side with or against him. Choosing to side with him will skip his boss fight, and he'll even give you a unique sword that can't be found anywhere else. The plot outcome is the same, however, regardless of whether you fight him or not.
** At the bottom of Campanula, you'll find the Fairy King. Normally you'll need to fight him. But if you helped Domina back in floor B3, he'll thank you for helping his daughter and give you the items you're looking for without a fight. As a bonus he also gives you a unique weapon that you can't find anywhere else.

* CharacterClassSystem: The puppets you create each have a class, here called "Facet". Each Facet has its own stats growth, weapon proficiency, and passive skills. By using Soul Transfer, a puppet's level to 1, but you can change their Facet while inheriting some passive skills they've learned, allowing for some degree of customization. There are eights Facets, most of them have male and female variants.
** Aster Knight is the straightforward physical attacker. It has good physical attack and survivability, but low Donum power. It specializes in using Lances.
** Shinobushi is the ninja-type class. Its attack power is just average, but it has high Agility and Dexterity which lets them does critical hits often. It's also capable of DualWielding weapons. It specializes in using Swords.
** Theatrical Star has low defense and HP, but its high Charm makes them rarely targetted by enemies, and when they do, its high Agility can let it dodge the attacks. It also has above average Donum Power. It specializes in Bells, letting them hit a group of enemies.
** Marginal Maze is the SquishyWizard. Low defense and low speed, but its Donum Power is the highest among all Facets. Surprisingly, it has good HP, so it's not as squishy as it seems. Specializes in using Lamp-type weapons.
** Peer Fortress is the tank class. High HP and defense, but very slow and next to no magic power. It has many skills that increase the effectiveness of defending, and can even take hits for more fragile allies. Specializes in using Katars.
** Mad Raptor is the FragileSpeedster MageMarksman. It has low defense, but above average physical and magical attack power. It's also fast, having skills that increase its battle speed. Specializes in Crossbows.
** Gothic Coppelia is unlocked halfway through the third dungeon, and it's the only Facet which has Neutral gender. It's a classical MightyGlacier, with low speed but high attack and defense. It's usually among the last to act but it finally does expect some heavy damage. It specializes in using Hammers.
** Demon Reaper is unlocked after clearing the fifth dungeon, and it's only available as Female. It's the ultimate GlassCannon, with very high attack power, but extremely low HP and defense. It specializes in using Scythes, which lets them hit a group of enemies.

** In the first dungeon, there's a spear being lodged on the ground. If you can find a way to pull it out, you're rewarded with a spear weapon that you usually won't find until the fourth dungeon. It can easily one-shot most enemies at this stage unless they're resistant to Pierce.
** The entrance to lower Campanula is available very early on, but because of the [[BeefGate much stronger enemies]] you won't be able to actually explore it until way later. That is, unless you spam Silver Spoon, which prevents enemies from spawning for a while. If you do this you can find equipments that are way above what you're supposed to have at this point.

** The LuckStat in general is needlessly complicated, and the game never tells you what they do (increase and decrease chances of critical hits/gores, inflicting and recovering of status ailments). Instead of displaying the values outright, the game instead opts to use descriptions like "Despair", "Mediocre", and "Fortunate". There's also how a puppet's initial Luck value is based on ''their name'' on creation. And when you do Soul Transfer, there's another calculation on deciding the puppet's new Luck. There's an [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2021825172 entire guide]] on Steam dedicated on explaining all this.
Added DiffLines:
* InfinityMinusOneSword: Charmer Pact, found as random drops in Umbra, roughly halfway through the game. Despite that it's one of the best Pacts in the game. It has three Attackers and three Support slots. It increases all the stats of the Attacker units depending on their Charm stat. It also has a very good selection of debuffing and damage Donum skills.
Added DiffLines:
* RelationshipValues: Your puppets have "Rapport" with each other. High rapport means higher chance of triggering [[CombinationAttack Echoes and Resonances]]. Rapport can be increased by battling together, and Theatrical Stars can make the values grow faster. Having a TotalPartyKill, however, will lower the team's Rapport.
* ShopFodder: The "Loot" type items exist either only to be sold, disassembled into Mana, or sometimes turned in for sidequests.

"Coven of Dusk" is unlikely to be used as the name for Coven and Labyrinth of Galleria, it was made up by NISA and drew from Dronya's Dusk Witch title. Odds are more likely that it'll be Coven of the Moon, though Sun or Stars are also likely. Soot too if they felt like being cheeky. But no, just leave the Japanese title for now rather than forcing speculation.

* WhatIsEvil: One of the recurring themes in the story is sin and the retribution for that sin. Dronya commits vile acts and pays for them in due time. The denizens of Refrain commit vile acts and pay for them in due time. Tractie even has the option to commit vile acts only to pay for them in due time (either as higher enemy crit rates or as increasingly accrued damage in certain areas). [[spoiler:Petrone even brings up this topic as he reveals the truth about Refrain to Dronya. While all the denizens of Refrain are ultimately good people, the fact that they're in a purgatory for sinners must be proof that they're not nearly as good as perceived.]] That being said, simply rejecting sin is not enough, [[spoiler:since in the late game Tractie bears the sins of the denizens of Refrain after hearing their confessions of those sins, thus maxing out its karma]]. You don't even get rid of the karma gained in the labyrinth through the Scapegoat Witch Petition; instead, you pass it on to a flock of sheep, thus making them the bearers of sin. [[spoiler:Dronya and Funa claim that only humans are prone to sin and that taken to its logical extreme, every human is a sinner. Meanwhile, Funa claims that as witches (i.e. as something other than human), Dronya and Funa [[AboveGoodAndEvil are exempt from sin and are free to do what they wish]], regardless of the consequences. However, they both learn the hard way that no, they are not.]]

While ''Labyrinth of Refrain'' is similar to games like VideoGame/EtrianOdyssey and VideoGame/DemonGaze, it does several things which set it apart from the crowd. For one thing; party members can be assigned to "pacts", which not only allow you to assign different numbers of characters to a party slot, but also determines what types of donum (magic) they can cast. The game also has no RandomEncounters; enemy can be seen on the map at all times, and can be avoided or tackled at the player's leisure.
