Source facts
What is the primary objective during a session of The Maiz?
Your main goal is to locate the lost wanderer hidden within the procedurally generated forest maze. Once you find them, the maze shifts, requiring you to navigate through a brand new environment to successfully escape the woods.
How should I approach the combat encounters in the game?
You can choose between using your starting pistol or heavier scavenged weapons to fight hostile figures. Alternatively, you might consider engaging in bare-knuckled combat if you prefer to save your ammunition or avoid using firearms entirely during your run.
What environmental hazards should I be aware of while exploring?
You must watch your step around dark, still puddles hidden among the roots. Wading through these hazards will damage your health, forcing you to either use med kits to recover or continue your journey in a weakened state.
