Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 3 Unmei no Labyrinth (遥かなる時空の中で3 運命の迷宮(ラビリンス), Unmei no Labyrinth translated as "Labyrinth of Fate") is the canonical sequel to the third Haruka. Like other Neoromance fan discs, the narrative is a shorter experience than its base and concludes in eight chapters.

Its Premium Box includes a memorial CD and an illustration book of the events stills. One of Yuzuru's event images is missing on the CD so Ruby Party offered it as a free download with their apologies.

Plot[]

The Genpei War ends with a peace treaty, and the protagonist and her comrades defeat arcane evil. However, she experiences memory loss and is unable to return to the parallel world due to a magical labyrinth.

Changes[]

The Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 3 game has a new main story, divided into Kamakura and the dimensional labyrinth. The main story is linear and divided into two settings: the modern world in Kamakura and the dimensional labyrinth. Chapters end once the main story objective is achieved. The labyrinth chapters are turquoise and feature a revamped map exploration. Characters must be leveled up and gain new abilities related to the labyrinth map area. Intimacy is rebuilt, with every main character having an ending. Character routes are unlocked similarly to the original, and choosing one character negates progress with others.

To obtain treasure boxes containing previous story/character events or "Time Crystals" in a labyrinth, players must complete affiliated games and level up their Lockpicking ability. These boxes can be viewed in the Extra section.
