Idea Factory International describes the game:

First, the winds stopped. Then, birds vanished from the skies. Finally, the sun set…

And an eternal night fell upon the world. The reason was quickly identified. It was a story told of in legends. The world had ceased hundreds of years ago as well. But there was a legendary mage who had managed to restart it.

Thus, elders gathered capable young Machina Mages from around the world. They sent them to the legendary city: Machina City, Southern Cross. You must restart the world, and bring an end to this eternal night. That is your mission, and your destiny. Now, go forth on your journey. Go, Estra!

The game is a turn-based, first-person dungeon crawling game that allows players to bring three party members, along with their Guardian machines, which can be customized with different parts to gain different abilities.

MeiQ: Labyrinth of Death shipped in Japan last December. The game is part of Compile Heart's Makai Ichibankan brand, The brand also includes the Trillion: God of Destruction PlayStation Vita role-playing game, which shipped in Japan last July. Idea Factory International released the game in North America on March 29, and in Europe on April 1.
