Unmaze

About

Unmaze is a choice-driven visual novel that uses your phone's light sensor as its main mechanic. You alternate between guiding Asterion and Theseus through a deadly labyrinth by placing your device in bright light or darkness. Each decision you make helps one character while pushing the other further into peril. The story unfolds through dialogue and puzzles that force you to weigh loyalty against survival as both boys face ancient traps and existential threats. The game’s tactile interface stands out, turning physical interactions into narrative tools. With over 30,000 lines of branching dialogue, every playthrough reshapes the relationship between the two protagonists. Available on mobile since 2021, it’s a quiet, philosophical take on Greek myth that emphasizes moral tension over action. The labyrinth itself feels alive, shifting based on your priorities.
