This forty year old woman is not the same one who left Jareth's castle all those years ago, but her seventeen year old daughter, Mathilda, is much like like her mother when she was a teenager.
Stubborn, imaginative Mathilda thrives on the stories she was told as a child. Stories of a malignant goblin king, kidnapping a baby at the will of a young girl's wishes. The young girl being pulled into an unfair world of wild, unimaginable creatures; a world of the Goblin King's creation, known only as The Labyrinth.
When Mathilda is ordered to clean the basement, she happens upon a box of her mother's old stuff. Among the fanciful clutter is a small, timeworn booklet entitled "Labyrinth."
Jareth has waited twenty-five years for a moment like this to arise, and has watched over Mathilda since her birth. He, of course, has not aged a second since the day he was defeated by Sarah all those years ago. Only recently has he discovered the restoration of some of his old strengths.
Mathilda reads the booklet aloud, and the goblins awaken from their extensive hibernation. Jareth listens intently.
A wish, the girl can make. Any wish her heart desires, and the Goblin King will make it come true.
Mathilda's one wish... is for her life of painstaking normalcy to end. She longs for genuine adventure.
You will play as Jareth, who will appear before Mathilda when she makes the wish. He offers to take her away with him, to live forever in his kingdom as his one true love, and to explore his world at her leisure. But she, in a state of shock, can do nothing but decline the offer.
So, angered by the striking similarity of her situation to that of her mother before her, he takes her to the beginning of his labyrinth. Only this time, he will be going along with her. Even though he knows his labyrinth from top to bottom, he will offer her no assistance. Only the pleasure of his company.
She has thirteen hours to complete the labyrinth, and failure to reach the castle before time is up could result in death. As the two go along, however, a begrudging bond blossoms between them. Will Mathilda triumph over the labyrinth and choose to stay forever with the king of Goblins, or will her failure result in exile to the Bog of Eternal Stench?
