Ancient Maze
SteamAncient Maze — Explore the Mysterious Ancient Labyrinth
In the Imperial Year 4720, humanity faces an inevitable end. A rapidly approaching star, Novaria, has made Earth’s surface uninhabitable within a single year.
To avoid extinction, the Provisional World Government launches Operation Avalon, a massive underground migration plan. During the construction of vast shelters, an unknown subterranean facility is discovered — a structure that not even modern technology can damage. You, an appointed government explorer, are ordered to investigate. But within its depths lurk creatures beyond human comprehension... and phenomena that defy reality itself.
🎮 Game Modes
🔷 Story Mode
Uncover the mysteries of the ancient labyrinth. Advance through fixed stages and pursue the truth behind Operation Avalon and the ruins that predate humanity. Collected records and relics gradually weave together the story hidden beneath the surface.
🔶 Endless Mode
Descend into a procedurally generated labyrinth that changes with every challenge. The deeper you go, the more perilous it becomes. Your reached depth is recorded in the rankings — compete with other explorers for survival and glory.
⚙️ Core Systems
🚪 Find the hatch and descend to the next floor — or reach the ultimate goal. 💎 Use the items you obtain from treasure chests to aid your exploration. 👾 Face multiple enemy types, each with unique behaviors and attack patterns.
🌍 Level Environment System (LE System)
Each floor brings new environmental variations that alter the world around you. Over 30 types of debuffs and anomalies can appear randomly, changing enemy behavior, player conditions, and even the maze’s structure and visibility.
😱 Fear System
Your Fear Value rises when staying in the dark or when enemies draw near. As fear intensifies, the chance of fear events increases — hallucinations, audio distortions, sudden blackouts, and ghostly apparitions that test your sanity.
🏆 Achievement System
Every action is recorded — explored depth, discovered items, fear events, and more. Fill every record and claim the title of the True Maze Chronicler.
