Unmaze

Unmaze is an interactive gaming experience inspired by the ancient myth of the Minotaur and the labyrinth, where you play as Ariadne, responsible for guiding Asterion and Theseus out of the labyrinth. Your duty is to help them make the right choices and decisions as they face a plethora of different dangers, reveal the secrets of the maze and ultimately set themselves free. The fate of Theseus and Asterion lies entirely on your shoulders. Do you have enough cunning, wisdom, perseverance and gaming skills to make the best possible choices?

The game utilizes your phone's light sensor to engage with the play. You can talk to Theseus by placing your phone in the light, and Asterion in the shade. However, be warned - indulging one may cause the other to be lost. The game features a brand-new gameplay experience that accurately monitors your light environment during gameplay. This sensor-driven technology enables a contemporary adaptation of the myth of the Minotaur and the labyrinth with direct body influences on the game. No data records will be collected during the gameplay, as the sole purpose is to adapt your experience to light.

A free trial of the game's first chapter serves as an introduction, lasting up to one hour of gameplay, followed by in-app purchasing to gain access to the full game. The story is fuelled by a dark and mesmerizing atmosphere featuring eight different definitive endings.

The first gaming chapter features five chapters and ten mazes to explore, detailing the branching narrative and affecting character choices. The immersive story is full of twists and turns, with the outcomes influenced by the player's actions. The game seeks to combine comic book creativity with engaging and interactive gameplay.

Unmaze is an interactive fable produced by UPIAN and HIVER PROD, with inspired and engaging narratives written by Thomas Cadène, the celebrated author behind Summer, Fluid, Alt-Life and illustrated by Florent Fortin. Arte, the European TV and digital culture channel, edited and co-produced the game, has gained widespread support as a distributor of media in various forms, ranging from television to digital media.

Unmaze transforms your approach to gaming, providing an immersive and interactive experience with a unique storytelling perspective that blends technology and mythology in this labyrinthine journey of self-discovery and adventure.
