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.

Great walking simulator with puzzles and lots of humour.
This game is about 3-4 hours, so if you're slightly interested, play it.
The story happens at a corn farm slash secret science lab. You have to pick up items and put them in the right spot to continue. The game has good visuals and audio. Although the setting breathes spookiness, there is never any spooky moment. Just a lot of wackiness.

Really liked the game.
Like: perfect length for someone with a full time job like me, funny and entertaining enough to complete the game!
Dislike: pressing Q does nothing (play the game, you'll get it)

It's been years since I played this game and I still think about it. Which is why I felt like I needed to come back and write something here. It's a really solid first person puzzle game. It oozes with the kind of charm we see far far too infrequently, even in this genre. Too few people know about Maize and I'm not sure why that is.
