MAIZE
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. 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.

You know what? This game is so cooky, and goofy and honestly it's a joy. It's actually a really funny game, the comments are cooky and the comedy is really there, I really recommend it as a good comedy movie.

A fantastic short little puzzle game with a rich and funny story about sentient corn. Nothing too special or hard and if you enjoy little puzzle games this is a good recommendation.

Maize is the corniest game I've ever played...in the best way possible! This game is a hilarious ride from start to finish. The puzzles are challenging but never frustrating, and the quirky characters and absurd humour kept me laughing the whole way through. If you're looking for a fun and light-hearted adventure, Maize is definitely worth a play. It is pretty short (~3 hours) so I can understand people being a little put off by the price honestly. I would have liked to have seen them put in the steam achievements (i understand there is achievements on console) for that extra serotonin boost.

This game was hilarious and fun. I highly recommend it. Make sure to read all the notes and objects you pick up for a LOT of laughs. I'm sorry Ted.

An amusing little first person adventure game with some dry humor that mostly hits the mark in the environmental reading and descriptions of items in your inventory. Never got stuck or overly caught up in any singular section or puzzle as item descriptions change to give hints when they can be used to solve a given puzzle if you pay attention and also temporary blocking off of exits in a set of rooms till you complete them.
