Maze of Death
Maze of Death
The maze is the classic test of navigation and path-finding, where you have little to no information and must find your way through, as in the Maze of Death. This is a situation that most, if not all of us, hope never to be trapped in: A maze with death hiding around its corners. You have been captured and placed in a maze with no apparent escape. Luckily, you've been given weapons to defend yourself, and plenty of ammo can be found throughout the maze. Be warned, though, as the agents of death will also hope to see you around corners.
About Maze of Death
When you put someone in a maze, they may react differently depending on their personality and experience. This game puts you in a dark maze without context, so it would be very easy to panic. But this is a game, and you have weapons to defend yourself, so a little caution to the wind is necessary. Of course, you have no idea what dangers lurk around; some may be more dangerous than others. You've got no choice but to conserve everything you can and to keep moving in hopes you can stay away from death.
How to Play
Maze of Death is a 3D first-person shooter about being trapped in a maze with monsters and escaping using the keyboard or controller.

The goal is to find the exit to the maze. Your weapons will be displayed in the top left corner of the screen, while your ammo and health counters will be in the top right corner. The map can be toggled to appear beneath the two counters. If your health ever drops to zero, you'll have to restart.
You can start whenever you're ready, and the game will spawn you in a closed room with weapons and ammo. From there, you can open the door and start exploring the maze. As you check the different corridors and rooms, you can find more ammo and change your weapons if you find new ones. You'll also encounter monsters that attack you once they sense you. Some monsters can track you from afar, while others only detect you once you get close. You must explore the maze to find the exit, escape, and win the game.
Tips and Tricks
The tricky part of this maze is that many areas look the same, so getting turned around can be very easy, even with the map. You should start noting how many turns you make and determine ways to remember certain areas. It's possible to ignore ammo boxes and weapons so that they can serve as markers and emergency pickups if needed.
