sick game, 10/10
Thanks man, I really appreciate it!
This is a good first game jam submission. The game visually and with the sound manages to convey a lot with only a few elements. The music does abruptly end before restarting, which I found quite noticeable. I enjoyed what was there overall.
Thanks for playing our game
Nice and creepy little maze game. Great job!
thanks for playing!
I quite liked it; although, personally, I’m not a fan of first-person mazes, this one was entertaining.
Thanks for playing our game
that's awesome
Sorry guys, if there were a "dislike" button, I’d have already used it because of that jumpscare at the end of the timer :D. That’s so outdated. It would’ve been much better if some terrifying thing just started chasing you—that would create a sense of mounting dread, rather than relying on a cheap, silly jumpscare.
Overall, for your first game, your team did a fantastic job! Creating a maze that feels truly frightening—both in its design and its visual appearance—is a real art. There’s also a subtle sense of unpredictability as the timer nears its end. The sound design is great; I especially loved the main theme—it’s absolutely the best!
What kind of fucking door is this that needs so many keys? :D
I find 2 key then try to escape. But nuh... another keys.
The game felt awesome to me—up until the jumpscare at the end. That was a letdown. So, overall, it’s just a good game, and you all did a fantastic job working together as a team!
Thanks for the honest review we appreciate all types of feedback
yeah your right the jumpscare was a last minute addition before it there was no way to lose the game so yeah ot was kinda rushed
But we plan on adding a real enemy in the future aswell as some small atmosphere improvements and maybe some new puzzles
Also you need 3 keys 🔑
I'll be waiting! :)
I liked the music, one of the tracks reminded me of ravenholm from half life 2, the atmosphere was pretty spooky. I will be honest and say i do not like the idea of a pure maze game, its quite frustrating to have to essentially run around aimlessly looking for the third key, it essentially killed any tension/horror that could have been built up. I think this could be pretty good if you make the maze less complex or have better environment tells for where the player is
thanks for playing!
We're proud of the sound design and I know it's our first game but the gameplay is something we have to work on and we'll hopefully improve in the future
I hope you guys participate in the next scream jam, I'm looking forward to seeing your next game to see how much you improve, I think you'll do great!
Thanks for the feedback and the kind words bro
and yeah hopefully we will join the next jam also
And we may even see you again
Really smooth movement and nice visuals! I made it on my second run. Simple but very well polished game :) Liked it a lot
thanks for playing man!
I was really spooked out about the atmosphere; I think your team nailed the feeling of exploring a maze in fear! Would have definitely loved it even more if you added a stalker system chasing you around the maze after getting a certain amount of keys, and the jump-scare image was a bit scarier.
Thanks for playing!
yes the jumpscare was very rushed but we'll add an actual enemy in new updates and hopefully improve the game after the jam
On my first run, I found 1 key and cant open the door, then I found 2 more, have to rush to the door but was too late, that moment gave me too much tension because of the timer and not knowing what is coming for me. However, I was a little disappointed that the jumpscare was just a weird image. I think it would be much scarier if an entity appeared and chased you through the maze, while still giving you a chance to escape through the door.
And in my 2nd gameplay, I only found 2 keys and already escaped? Idk if it was a bug or the game randomly requires 2-3 keys to open, either ways it should show in the UI how many keys the player need to open the door.
Overall, this is a scary and fun maze game. There are not much maze game but Im gonna say, yours definitely stands out the most
Thanks for the feedback bro we really appreciate it
the jumpscare thing was a last minute addition 😅 before there was no way to not win so we added the timer thing
And yeah we are planning on making it so a monster will appear in the maze and chase you without killing you instantly
And the key counter was a planned thing but we couldn't fit it in time
I'm really happy that you liked it despite it being a simple game, thank you
I wonder if there even are three keys, I could only find 2 and got lost on the way.
footstep sounds would've been a plus and also the "monster" is not really fitting with the environment.
cool flashlight movement, though.
Thanks for playing and rating!
I wish there was a Web build or a playthrough to show off the game.
we are waiting for godot 4.8 cuz it will have a better features for the web build
the game is short it will take you less than 3 minutes to beat (if you manage to find all 3 keys)
thanks for the feedback!
It was cool, but after the jumpscare I won’t be able to play this anymore. I liked the music change — I figured it was tied to the timer, but I already thought some monster was about to appear. And also HOW MANY KEYS ARE THERE, I FOUND 2 AND THAT’S STILL NOT ENOUGH FOR THE DOOR??!!
thanks for the feedback bro we really appreciate it
and yeah the jumpscare thing was a last minute addition lol
you have to find 3 keys to open the door so you where actualy very close to beating the game
You little...!xD
I was just in the catacombs and found the exit! Did anyone else notice the stairs? I love the labyrinth theme! You get lost so fast!
I liked the game ok)
thanks for trying our game thats Amazing!
Love how the music changes depending on how much time left, kind of builds up the tension slowly until it hits you with that screamer. Kind of reminds me of classic old internet maze screamer you'd find lol
thank you for trying our game!
We are really happy that you liked it!
Great, very atmospheric game! Really felt the growing tension.
Thanks for the good words really appreciate it!
Super claustrophobic and you did a good job creating an eerie atmosphere. The maze was well designed, and I liked the graphics. Nice work on your first game!
Thanks dude ! I am happy that you liked it, good luck on your games bro.

Thank you so much for your feedback bro we're really happy that you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the feedback!!! I tried your game as well finding those 3 keys while running from the monster kept me on edge! great job
Thank you for trying our game we really appreciate it
A nice little spooky maze!
thanks for playing ! i appreciate it
Well executed maze game! The movement of the player and flashlight made every turn around a corner feel terrifying. I like the eerie sfx and music I think those add to the experience, maybe could have used some more sfx that just keep the player second guessing on what to expect? Overall a fun little game, I was panicking as I was running out of time and completely lost in the maze the first time haha
thanks man i appreciate playing our game , of course we are going to add more sfx to the game and a proper monster hopefully .
Thank you so much for your feedback we appreciate it 😀
we plan to add a bunch of small things/improvements in the near future
Thanks for trying our first game!
