Maze Gold Run

Maze Gold Run is a game about escaping a giant maze before it drains your life. You play a lone traveler trying to reach the end and save someone you love. The maze holds answers to who you are, why you came and why you are so anxious to reach its end.

Explore the maze

You begin by exploring dark corridors, but the gameplay shifts into fast races through winding passages. The maze is not infinite, though it is very large, and time is ticking as you search for a way out.

You can use shining sand to mark your route and phials to improve your health. Notes hidden in the maze’s farthest corners reveal short stories about its history.

Survive and improve

The maze drains your life force. Gold you find there can improve your character’s speed and light radius, but you must return to the entrance to improve your skills. If your health reaches zero, your character dies, leaving bones and any gold you found at the place of death. Rushing ahead carelessly can end a run, and reaching the maze’s end is possible.

Game length

A playthrough takes about 5 hours if you do not take time to find all the story notes.
