''Labyrinthine Dreams'' is a moody, unique puzzle game made with VideoGame/RPGMaker VX Ace about a sick young woman named Beth, who is on the verge of death. While dreaming, she reflects on significant moments in her life. After a traumatic childhood and an uncertain entry into adulthood, she was just beginning to find herself when she was diagnosed with a serious illness. As she wanders the dreamscape, Beth wonders if she should simply give up on her difficult life or if it's worth it to fight for a better future.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Beth and Artie are both supporting characters in ''X-Noir''.

* DreamingOfThingsToCome: The [[spoiler: gallery scene]] may be this. ''X-Noir'' confirms it happened.

* ManicPixieDreamGirl: A male example. Artie is quirky, free-spirited and kind, encouraging the shy and self-reliant Beth to come out of her shell. It seems to be a trait, since he helps the gloomy, depressed Eddie in ''X-Noir''.
