M.A.Z.E

You wake up disoriented in a labyrinth, armed with nothing but a flashlight and a video camera... Solve puzzles, uncover secrets, and find a way out, but you’ll have to hurry because time is running, and each day in the labyrinth brings you closer to the end... you are not alone in this place.

About the Game

Try the first of many levels in M.A.Z.E, the beginning of a mysterious story where you are a part of it.

Explore the vast dimensions of the labyrinth, empty spaces, endless hallways, and towering walls await you. So hurry up... time is running.

Solve different puzzles and riddles to progress, but be careful, this place will make you lose your way more than once. Sometimes, it even seems like the walls move on their own...

Discover the mysteries hidden within this labyrinth. Collect clues, uncover secrets, and find things you might wish you hadn’t seen.

IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE

Partially pixelated graphics with a Found Footage style experience that provides a first-person view through a video camera. It also features an immersive audio system adapted to the labyrinth’s massive scale, along with sound effects that create constant tension.

UNIQUE LEVEL DESIGN

No random generation, a single massive hand-crafted map designed specifically to make you get lost easily while still allowing you to remember every part of the labyrinth. Liminal spaces and a deep sense of isolation combined.

ENTITIES

Although it may seem like you're alone in this place, nothing could be further from the truth. During the day, you might feel "safe," but with each passing night, the chances of an attack by creatures increase, and your survival odds decrease.

NO MANUAL SAVING

If you want to survive and complete the labyrinth, you will have only one chance. You cannot save your progress, and you will likely die more than once before completing M.A.Z.E. You can consider this game a "rogue-like," but the only thing you will keep after dying is your memory.
