Description
Two young boys are lost in a maze and it's up to you to save them by playing with the light around you.
Guide Asterion and Theseus out of the maze in this visual novel inspired by Greek mythology.
Place your phone in the light to talk to Theseus, or in the shade to talk to Asterion. But be careful - the more you help one of them, the more the other gets lost. Help them make the right decisions as you face up to lots of different dangers, discover the secrets of the maze and perhaps manage to set them free.
Their fate now rests in your hands. Will your cunning, wisdom, perseverance and skill be enough to help you make the right choices?

Ratings and Reviews
I only played the demo.
Although I couldn’t get the full experience I absolutely enjoyed playing. It is refreshing that the characters have flaws and you the player cannot be perfect. It broke my heart hearing the brother talk about how he was treated. I tried giving them both equal attention and I can’t wait to play the full thing. I cried out and cringed. I can’t imagine wearing headphones, I’d get scared with the noise. Speaking of which, the background sounds and music create a perfect atmosphere. I was a bit iffy on my camera being on but I fell in love with the use of it. It hurt that neither character understood that I couldn’t leave one alone but I think it made them more real and relatable. I’m glad it’s not overly graphic but enough to emerge you into the story. Complete props and appreciation to the creator for making a character I could dislike, character being the one I played. I loved the art and I can’t imagine how much time it took to play. Thank you for the he time and care you put into the game!
9.5/10
This game was amazing! I love the concept and the art! Game play itself isn’t always super engaging, but traversing through such huge mazes was challenging enough to keep me going. The mechanic of using light to switch between worlds is so clever and unique, and the mystery behind this universe had me hooked! The story between all three characters was so interesting, and the plot twist at the end was such a shock, and overall I couldn’t put the game down!
On the other hand, the characters had a tendency to annoy me. Ariadne’s speech wasn’t always consistent. Within two lines of dialogue she would act ruthless then sympathetic, and it made it difficult to relate to or even understand what she was feeling. The writing in this story could use a lot of work…
Regardless, I finished the game in one shot and thoroughly enjoyed it! It’s definitely worth supporting and sharing with others, and I’m excited to go back in and check out the other endings/locations I missed!
Great game, definitely worth four bucks.
The art in this game is really good and there’s a lot of it, and the story is pretty good too. My biggest complaint would be how the main gimmicks is implemented, there’s no reason other than marketing that this game couldn’t have just had a switch rather than make you hold your phone in the light or dark. It’s just kind of awkward and it doesn’t really increase immersion. If you want a game that better incorporates this kind of thing play “Maginary”. However the game itself is still really good.
Developer Response ,
Hi IAm2TheDude, we are glad to see that you like the game. Regarding your comment, Unmaze relies entirely on this light and shadow game. You can update your light settings at any time in the "light/shadow settings" menu. This allows you to play Unmaze more comfortably when your lighting environment changes. In the full version of the game, the "light lock" feature also allows you to control the switching between characters more easily as you mentioned.
