OK, well I see what you're going for. Being familiar with work in unity I can see you've got to grips with the engine in terms of animation and visuals, and the third person character is surprisingly easy to control, which is something you're going to have to be really careful with since third person games in unity often end up a little stiff, both in terms of character animation and movement.
Not much to go on for now but it's a promising start.
The direction controls were WAY too touchy, and I found the decision to make the character walk fast after a while instead of mapping "run" to a separate button a but odd, but other than that the game already has a sort of "natural" feel to it. So like JohnnyMaverik I think you made a good start.
Thank you for the comments. The controls are not final. Although the speed you move will play a large role in the final game play. The ramp up to running speed will determine how you tackle the traps. It needs some work to feel more natural though.
The traps will cause you to limp and slow down. Distracting you from navigating the maze, and adding tension when the minotaur is chasing you. All meant to lead to mistakes and getting lost within the labyrinth.
More to come...
