Description

Maize is a first-person adventure game about what happens when two scientists misinterpret a memo from the U.S. Government and create sentient corn. And that last sentence is pretty much the least ridiculous thing about the game.

Explore an abandoned farm and a not-so-abandoned underground research facility as you uncover the mysteries around Maize, and possibly learn a bit about yourself along the way. Or maybe not.

With a colourful cast of characters and an absolutely absurd world, Maize offers up a unique experience that keeps the surprises coming. Seriously, they’re everywhere.

Features

  • Immerse yourself and explore Maize’s fully-realized environment,featuring a cornucopia of areas to explore (see what we did there?)
  • Solve environmental puzzles that get more and more absurd the further you delve into the adventure
  • Uncover the secrets of Maize’s world, as you try and figure out what it is the corn really want, aside from a very good nap
  • Meet some friends and enemies along the way, which include a very small grumpy Russian robot bear and an unhinged corn stalk who’s a bit of a jerk

What an experience... 10/10 game. It's well done, funny, and the voice acting is great. It's even better than napping. Vladdy is my favorite, even though I'm just a stupid, American idiot. If you want a game to have fun

This game is basically a walking simulator with very basic puzzles involving finding items to unlock the path forward. I can forgive simplistic gameplay if the story was actually good, but it isn't so I can't recommend

The only thing I remembered from when I first played this game was that I found it kind of funny. Unfortunately, on a 2nd playthrough, none of the jokes were really landing for me. The 'comedy' of the game, is as the

Just finished a play-through of this absurdist walking simulator. For it's age it looks and performs well, even on a linux distro with proton (Though the final cinematic/credits was broken). The humor is light, leans on

I don't get the positive reviews. This game is painfully unfunny in its attempts at humor. It’s pretty much a walking simulator with basic puzzles. Thank God it’s short.
