Maze Escape is a game in which you must find the center of a sprawling maze in a mysterious grassy landscape before you are caught by the monsters that wander within. Inspired by the Backrooms level 94, James began developing his game along a similar theme, eventually altering the concept and design to improve the gameplay experience and better suit his vision. Along the way, he experimented with a number of mechanics, learning about such things as advanced GUI systems and procedural terrain generation. The final version of the game includes a number of ambitious features, including an inventory system and survival mechanics.
