Here’s a cool idea - maze games!
I’d love to see a maze video game where you are in the foyer of a high rise building, and you have to get to (e.g.) the roof, but there is only one way to get there, that involves loads of trips up and down elevators to different floors, through rooms, down corridors, up stairwells, into vents, onto balconies.
It’s a totally free explorable environment, but only one way to reach your goal. On the way you have to find certain tools to achieve it, like keys and security cards and wrenches and maps, which aren’t easy to find. Secret areas should be crucially important, not just bonuses.
And then imagine setting new mazes in a system of caves, or on an oil rig, or in a submarine, or in a park, or outdoors around several city blocks and alleys, or through an airport, or on Alcatraz, or the Golden Gate Bridge, or or or…
It would be in full 3D, with realistic graphics, with no zombies to kill or CIA agents to avoid, just a challenging maze full of obstacles.
So tell me, are there any games like that for PC? I imagine the 3D-ised platform games for kiddies are sometimes similar, though you tend to be an anthropomorphised animal who leaps around collecting rotating stars and bouncing on trampolines, which isn’t really what I want…
Anyone know of anything like this?
