The maze is open. The logic is not. Every gate you walk leaves a color in its wake — and the rules quietly narrow your choices. ShimenSoka is a quiet ink-painting puzzle for a focused mind. The maze is fully visible. There are no walls to discover, no fog to clear. Yet finding a way through takes thought — because the real puzzle is hidden in the colors. Every gate you pass has a color, and the rules act on the history of colors you have already walked. "Never red after green." "Visit blue twice." "Pass yellow last." The open path stays open, but your own choices quietly close it around you, as you search for a clear way through. The name 四面楚歌 — "songs of Chu on all four sides" — is that feeling: surrounded not by walls, but by your own logic. WHAT YOU DO - Walk a visible maze with a simple directional pad. - Read the rules, then watch your color history shape the routes you can take. - Siege Points are based on the moves and seconds left when you clear a stage. MADE TO LAST - 250 stages across 25 chapters, with wider boards from chapter 21. - Difficulty that deepens slowly, like ink spreading on paper. - Each gate is a single colored line on the shared edge between two squares. A QUIET AESTHETIC Sumi-e brushwork, aged paper, lamplight and vermilion seals. Built to feel like a three-minute painting you solve on your commute. Stages 1–200 are free to the end. A single purchase of the Full Version removes ads and unlocks every piece and the extra chapters (21–25). The first two stages of each extra chapter are free.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• Chapters 21–25 added: 50 new stages on wider boards, where you read far ahead before you move. The first two stages of each new chapter are free; the rest are part of the Full Version. • Rules trimmed: rules that never affected the answer were removed, so every rule you see matters. • Siege Points now run on a clear 1,000-point scale. • Visual polish: a flag on the goal, a tint for each chapter, and a new icon.
