About This Game

《Maze Nightmare-Edge of Darkness》 is a first-person maze survival shooter. Trapped in a fog-shrouded random maze, you must rely on a flashlight, footsteps, and limited ammunition to navigate narrow passages and repetitive corners, locate the zombie carrying the key, and find the exit. Each level features a shifting maze structure and zombie distribution, making getting lost, being surrounded, and desperate headshots the norm in this nightmare.

core gameplay

1. Random Maze Exploration

Each level's maze is randomly generated by an algorithm, with increasing size and complexity. Players must memorize paths, mark key points, and listen for positional clues to avoid getting lost in repetitive corridors.

2. The first-person survival shooter employs classic WASD+mouse controls. Pistol shooting features recoil and rate-of-fire limitations, with headshots dealing higher damage. Players must maintain aiming precision and rhythm control under intense pressure.

3 Key Zombies and Exit Doors

Each level features only one key-carrying zombie. You must prioritize identifying and eliminating the target within the horde, then retrieve the key and locate the exit in the maze to escape—rather than simply "clearing all enemies.".

4 Resources and Risk Management With limited ammunition and finite health, resources become scarcer as you progress through the levels. You must balance "conserving ammo" with "ensuring safety," deciding when to avoid confrontations and when to fight head-on.

5 Sound-Driven Sense of Crisis

The 3D spatial sound effects simulate the direction and distance of footsteps, roars, and breathing sounds. You must judge the approximate location and number of zombies through sound, reacting swiftly in the fog where visibility is obscured.

6 Progressive Multi-Level Challenges: Starting with small mazes filled with a few zombies, the difficulty gradually increases as you progress through larger structures teeming with hordes of undead. Perfect for players who enjoy repeated high-level challenges and strive for ultimate completion.

**Unique Gameplay Features:** - Multiple difficulty levels and ammo depletion mechanics create sustained tension. - Giant zombies patrolling the maze periphery and thick, oppressive fog build an intense atmosphere. - 3D spatial audio gives footsteps, roars, and breaths direction and distance cues. - Optional mini-map and marking system aids navigation. - Minimalist UI retains critical info like health, ammo, and keys, allowing you to focus on sound-based positioning and survival deep within the maze with almost no interface distractions.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

This game contains noticeable violence and horror elements. Players use firearms to shoot zombies, and hits produce visible blood splatter, injury reactions, and death animations. Some headshot scenes feature more prominent blood effects, but there is no dismemberment or graphic depiction of internal organs.

The maze environments are dimly lit with heavy fog, jump scares, tense audio cues, and chase sequences. The overall atmosphere is oppressive and frightening, which may be uncomfortable for players sensitive to horror content.
