Maiden

Maiden is a survival game set in confined spaces, where you search for keys and a way out while avoiding an enemy. After your father, the king, dies, traitors take your inheritance and imprison you on the Isle of Exile in the form of a maid. You must pass through six rooms and an island to find a boat and escape; the game has no further storyline.

Search and survive

Rooms bring new challenges, and chests are procedurally generated, hiding keys and potions. Their contents are unknown, so opening a chest may offer a chance to survive or expose you to greater risks. Permanent death makes every move consequential, while the enemy keeps you under pressure.

Keys unlock doors to the next rooms and come in several types: Bloody keys require sacrifice or combat, Stone keys represent strength, Ice keys are frozen in traps you must overcome, and rare Archkeys open access to special objects.

Use potions carefully

Potions have different effects, from damage to buffs, but your supply is limited and each potion can work against you. The poison potion can remove curses from doors and open the way forward. If you miss with it or hit yourself, your run ends, so using potions calls for precision and careful decisions.

Track your run

A speedrun timer records your completion time for each room and your overall progress during play. You can review your actions, refine your tactics and compete against your own results, with every second counting.
