Inner Mazes: Souls Guides

Inner Mazes: Souls Guides is a turn-based 3D platformer in which you play Lucas, a medium seeking spiritual enlightenment through Afro-Brazilian traditions. You move through surreal mazes of illusions, ghosts and spiritual guides, solving puzzles and meeting lost souls and entities who need help and may help you in return. Lucas’s energy bar is his health; if it runs out, he dies.

The spiritual guides

You can incorporate four entities to solve puzzles. They use their own energy to act, but as the medium channeling them, you must also spend Lucas’s energy to keep them acting after their energy runs out. Each entity restores its energy with a different item:

• Exu: Lucas’s first spiritual guide, linked to knowledge and the material world. He can open hidden paths and walk through flames, and restores his energy with sugarcane liquor.
• Pombagira: associated with prosperity and the material world, with a feminine vibration. She can destroy obstacles and walk through flames, and restores her energy with wine cups.
• Erê: a child spirit associated with purity and innocence. Always in a rush, he moves two tiles at a time and can jump over gaps and small obstacles. He is the only character who can skip a turn by playing, and restores his energy with candies.
• Preto Velho: the spirit of an old Black man who lived during slavery, known for wisdom and knowledge of healing and spiritual enlightenment. He can walk over water and regenerate health, and restores his energy with coffee.
