The Maze is a game that challenges players to guide a character through an intricate maze of winding paths and obstacles, all in search of the exit. The paths are often more difficult to traverse than they first appear, requiring the player to plan their return route carefully as well as their forward course. The game has multiple levels, ranging from the simplest to the most challenging.
The Maze consists of multiple levels of increasing difficulty, each with unique and challenging paths. Players are able to customize their characters and dialogues, as well as select their difficulty level. The death of a character within a stage spells game over for the player. Navigation in the game is done by means of the directional arrows or WASD keys. The character will move perpendicularly to the direction of the arrow or key pressed.
