Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“By releasing in Early Access, we can work with players to balance content, make quality-of-life improvements, and more.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect Early Access to last until Q4 2027 (about a year).
However, this timeline is subject to change. Our top priority is to make a game we’re proud of; for us, that means working with intention, remaining curious, and maintaining a healthy pace.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version will include basic roguelike gameplay and a bit of story. Our plan for the full version is to build on the EA version by adding characters, tiles, levels, engineering tools, shops, narrative elements, and other content.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Rogue Maze Demo has a fully-playable Arcade Mode, and our Early Access launch will introduce the Map View, adding roguelike progression to the game.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will increase after the product leaves Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We’ll be looking for player feedback in our Discord server and other social media. We’re also collecting anonymized metrics in-game to understand what changes may be needed.”

About This Game

Take on your new role as a big tech manager, feudal lord, or casino pit boss and ensure productivity is at an all-time high. Do everything you can to stop underlings from leaving your sight in Rogue Maze, a tower defense roguelike with a twist. Perfect the art of crowd control by building winding mazes filled with obstacles that confuse and fatigue, so no one can ever leave.

Endless Possibilities

Grow your tile deck after each win to ensure you’re well-equipped to keep everyone preoccupied. Smelly bathrooms, security lasers, and boxing rings are some of the many Special Tiles at your disposal.

Every Trick in the Book

An effective manager makes full use of all resources. Buy, upgrade, and discover run passives to maximize your advantages. Confiscate Gadgets from worn-out subordinates before turning these devices back against them. Flashbulbs, springboards, and snacks, oh my!

On the Move

Make your way through “The Map” between levels, taking control of how you progress to the next stage. Pick a polyomino and design your own route, making stops at shops, vending machines, or food stands along the way.

Game Features

  • Maze-as-a-Mechanic – Build labyrinths from tiles that act as both passageways and towers, amplifying the classic mazing thrill of tower defense.

  • Strategic Gadgets – Use snacks, springboards, shovels, and shuffles to manipulate your underlings, rearrange your labyrinth, and straighten out your hand.

  • Playable Personas – Choose your management style: Big Tech Manager, Feudal Lord, or Casino Boss. Each character deploys unique gadgets for different strategies.

  • Unusual Characters – Encounter unruly enemies like endless Russian Nesting Dolls, hot-headed Headless Hooligans, and the corner-challenged Monoceros.

  • Depth & Replayability – Every run is unique with a diverse set of levels, Special Tiles, Gadgets, and more, making each playthrough a new challenge.

  • Custom Workspace – Make things work for you with a slew of quality-of-life and accessibility options: visual overlays, remappable controls, color-blind friendly options, and more.
