Hey we had the same thing in mind, a scary maze :D Sound design was pretty good, It was definitely scary. I was mostly running at the beginning trying to find the maze entrance and was never able to get away from the monster. Monster was seeing me trough walls which was unfortunate. Got me good a few times but was never able to find the exit. Good job keep it up :)

Nice game! The atmosphere and sound effects are very chilling. The Creature dancing in the main menu is a cool and funny way to introduce the monster. I liked the size of the Maze and how you can hear him when he is coming towards you. Good entry ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

I think the monster did not have 3d audio source, so it always sounded like he was super close. 

Got some classic scares from this game :D

Developer

I did have trouble with the 3d audio source so it just checks the distance between it and the player and if it's close it plays the audio. Hope it didn't breake the immersion.

Submitted

alright, which motor did you use?

The feeling of it getting closer, by hearing it would probably make it more immersive! I never had time to look around and see it, so 3d audio would have helped :โ -โ )

Developer

I figured it out I needed to turn up the spatial blend.

Submitted

oh! That looks familiar. Nice you found it! :โ -โ )

Nice one :D Had a bit of trouble seeing/remembering the maze to find the exit though

Developer

Hope you could enjoy it :)

Dance was +10 Points but my experience was pretty mid cause I'm bad with memorizing layouts and kept getting myself killed at dead ends (which makes perfect sense)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, I did make it way too hard. Mybe in the future I could make that the player is visible on the map :)

That title screen...

AHAHHAHA the main menu 10/10 you can hop and destroy the physics so you fly Nice movement, you have to make a parkour game out of it pls.

Is there an ending?

Developer(+1)

Thanks for enjoying the game! There should be an ending at the end of the maze, but it's really hard. So many people jump on the walls that I guess it is now a feature ;) Maybe I will make parkour game out of it.

I wasn't ready for the monster dancing tbh x) It's the cute maze. Yes. Bro just wants to dance

I do like the map aspect, it was fun looking through it and navigating with it. But the fact is that the monster will always runs straight to you kinda makes this game have less tension. You can't loose the monster (except for walking to the walls) so the only real way to beat the game is completely memorize the way our and run. But overall I got a laugh out of it and had fun. 

Developer(+1)

The Concept was that the Moster would always be behind you and to beat the game you need to stop running and confront it. Thanks for playing :)

Submitted

You and me both know your game is impossible, so I cheesed it by running on he wall, where the monster couldn't see me

but +1 for the memes tho

Developer (1 edit)

It is possible here is the video, but it is hard; And Thanks for playing;
