By risking your life and meeting an ever growing cast of characters, you’ll slowly learn more about the fantasy and magic-filled realm of World of Mazes.
Without giving away any spoilers, the longer you play the game the more you learn about the lore World of Mazes has to offer. Unlike other VR games or even most AAA non-VR games, the characters have a surprising depth to them that actually makes the player want to interact with them.
Rather than saying bland and boring lines, the characters quite often have something humorous or interesting to say which only gets better thanks to the impressive voice acting. As far as the story goes, you won’t be disappointed with World of Mazes.
Challenging & Fun Gameplay
