About the Game

Maiz is a first person puzzle game.

Hajar is lost and the villagers life is at risk. Save them from the sun by solving all the puzzles on your way to find Hajar.

Solve the puzzles of a room to access another one and discover the story of this oasis marking the opening of the Sahara desert.

Lasers, blocks, button to activate, physics to count on. All of this is awaiting you in the world of Maiz. To solve the puzzles you are going to have to use laser reflexions, button pushing with either youself or blocks to move and even take advantage of physics.

Maiz is completely developped under Unreal Engine 5 fully using technologies such as Nanite or Lumen so expect beautiful graphics.
