You find yourself darkened maze at the stroke of midnight. But the wolves howling, the blades sharpening and the crows calling out tell you that you are not alone. The only question that remains is how many times will you die before you stumble, at last, upon the exit to this fiendish construction.

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?

“We will be using the EA period to gather feedback on the game and implement any discovered bugs or issues.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are planning on a short EA period (1-2 months) to wrap up polishing the game with the user's feedback and our own list of 'things to get done'.”

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

“We are planning on incorporating portions of the user feedback as well as some items that did not make the cut for the EA release. Things that are planned for full release are several more hazards and powerups within the maze as well as UI improvements and various bug fixes.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Completely playable versus what will be offered at full release. Full character control is in, customizable difficulty level, all currently implemented traps and power-ups function, game save system works.

While we plan for the final release to have more things in it, the EA version is fully playable, enjoyable and (we hope!) highly replayable.”

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

“The EA period will have a price discount with the final price going into effect after release.”

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

“Community feedback either here or on our Discord server is welcomed. Tell us you love it, tell us you hate, tell us how to make it better. We'll listen to it all. Then we'll huddle up and choose which parts of the feedback to bring into the full release version.”

About This Game

Midnight Murder Maze is a top-down game about finding your way through a pitch-black and very deadly maze. Expect to leave a trail of blood and bodies as you tirelessly search for the exit.

In the late 1800's the sociopathic Contessa Desmodonia von Macelar built the maze and regularly ran her peasants through it... for her own demented goals. It is your job to guide your character through the maze searching for the exit while at the same time dodging lethal traps and occasionally picking up the few bits of help scattered around. Like any good predator, the Contessa surely loved to play with her victims.

Midnight Murder Maze includes:

  • Absolutely unique mazes, randomly generated for each run.

  • 5 varying levels of difficulty that each changes:

    • Maze dimensions from 20x20 up to a gargantuan 100x100

    • Number of deadly traps

    • Number of useful 'trinkets' that the Contessa left for you

  • Save system so that you can pick up a longer run later

  • A truly unique score-keeping method

  • A final 'brag screen' that you can use to challenge your friends to run your same maze and attempt to beat your score.

The Maze is the first published game by Rum Shack Studios, a small (4 person) team of game players, designers and dreamers who have big plans for the future. We hope you enjoy it and look forward to hearing your comments!
