20 itemsAbout the Game
In "Don't Panic", you're thrown into mysterious and disorienting mazes with one goal – find your way out. But it's not just the winding paths that stand in your way. Inanimate figures – statues, crash dummies, and other eerie silhouettes – lurk in the shadows, moving closer every time you look away. Will you rely on your trusty flashlight to keep them at bay? Or will you let the compass guide you through, even as everything else tries to throw you off course? Each maze is uniquely generated, ensuring no two runs are ever the same.
Features:
Paranormal Mazes Gamemode:
Procedurally Generated Mazes: Dive into ever-changing labyrinths in various settings, from the eerie quiet of the hedge maze, the echoing footsteps in a warehouse, to the dripping dark of the sewers.
Eerie Pursuers: Beware the inanimate objects that move closer every time you turn your back.
Trusty Tools: Shine your flashlight to dispel the dark, trust your compass to point to the way out, drop a glowstick to remember where you've been, whistle to let other players know what direction you're in and coordinate your strategy through walkie-talkies! Oh, and if you find yourself in front of a Whip... don't stare at it in awe, beat it with your melee weapon!
Progression System: Earn XP, customize your character, and track your stats for a more personalized experience.
Checkpoints: Make it through the maze in stages, with checkpoints to fall back to should you get caught... but remember, the last checkpoint you visit is where you'll end up so don't get turned around!
Midnight Carnival Gamemode:
Your goal is to travel to the various locations in this eerie open world and turn on all the generators. You can travel safely on the train or try your luck on foot through the spider-infested forest. Once all the generators are on, you can grab the box of wonders and teleport out of that nightmare!
p.s.
Beware of the clowns...
