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.

This game is weird... and I mean weird. You can tell the developers pours their heart and soul into this. This is a must play for anyone who wants to experience something new, fresh and amaizeing. I beat it years ago but felt i was doing humanity a disservice by not recommending it. I can now die in peace...

10/10 Stanly Parable, but with more corn! Also press Q all the time, in one spot, it unlocks the secret ending.

Honestly, it's a good laugh and very simple.
Great for something to relax with and not have too much to think about.
Would definitely recommend.

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 for a while and not take too seriously, this is a fantastic choice.
Alright, I'm going to go take a nap...

I was almost ready to quit at the very beginning with the corn field maze, and slightly obtuse puzzles but as soon as you clear that part it's smooth sailing. Worth pushing through to experience the rest of the game.

I highly recommend this game.
When I first launched it, my honest reaction in the first 10 seconds was: “Am I seeing this right? Is that corn? Are those… corn people?” That was literally my introduction — watching the character get up off the ground and thinking I was hallucinating vegetables.
Then the adventure actually starts.
What I loved the most? That little bear. That slightly unhinged Russian bear. Holy hell. At some point, he genuinely got on my nerves. I’m not even kidding. He kept going like, “You are an idiot. Why are you collecting that stuff?” Over and over again.
But you know what? I loved him.
And at the end — without giving spoilers — I was upset. Really upset. Frustrated. Sad. I actually started feeling genuinely emotional.
This game may be old, but it’s gold, bro. Pure gold.
It’s worth every single penny. Every. Single. Penny.
