About the Game

You, an ex-employee of the Maze X franchise, an attraction that promised innovation and joy. But after a string of unexplained disappearances, the doors were locked, the lights were dimmed… and the world forgot it ever existed.

Until now.

Driven by unanswered questions, you’ve returned to the abandoned facility to find out what happened to those who vanished... your friends. The halls are empty, but something still lingers in the shadows—twisted remnants of the past. Watching and waiting.

Every step deeper into the maze reveals another piece of the mystery—and another nightmare waiting to consume you. The air hums with an unnatural presence, and the trees willow and weep.

But you must press on. For the truth. For them.

Run. Hide. Pray they don’t find you first, for you have just entered their den, and they are hungry.

WARNING: THIS GAME HAS FLASHING LIGHTS AND LOUD NOISES

Each room is different than the last. Find notes to understand each of the puzzle's objectives. Some notes teach you about the foes you'll encounter along the way. 

Use hiding locations around the maze to hide from monsters faster than you. 

This game uses save featuring, don't worry about losing progress when closing down the game, as long as you've seen the icon at the bottom left of your screen labeled: 'Saving...'

You have sprinting mechanics, walking and of course idle with corresponding head bob for realism

Thank you, Hope you can make it far enough to survive!
