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.

It's a good game. No more, no less Don't expect to get mind blown, as there are several games that uses the same tropes and either did it first or simply better : funny narrator, meta humor, computer/tech theme and puns, real world media and so on. If you've played Stanley Parable and/or any indie game around the concept of smartphone/computers, it probably won't amaze you or feel fresh. But honestly, it works. So that's not much of a problem as long as you temper your expectations. I appreciated that it could be played in small bites : do a few puzzles, progress the story a bit, stop there, keep progressing the next day. It was the perfect break after lunch. More narrative than puzzle It's important to know that it leans heavily on the narrative side : the puzzles are very easy. It works very well with the flow, as you don't get stuck and progress quickly, but if that was the main appeal, you might reconsider. As for the writing, it's good, no joke made me cringe, the story was ok, there are a few twists, some twists tackles things at our real world. Nothing special, nothing particularly thought provoking, but it was pleasant. A few technical/design downsides There are a few downsides that aren't specific to the story or the gameplay, and more on the technical and game design side. For instance, the game weighs 35gb, which for a game that looks like Source games from 20 years ago is a LITTLE BIT MUCH. There are also a few framerate drops here and there (which isn't due to my computer) But I think both these issues are due to the fact that it's a young studio of indie devs, with a (probably) limited mastery of Unity and video games technology. So I'm giving them some slack. Also : no chapter selection when you're finished. For a game that doesn't shine for its complex and/or fun gameplay and is all about collecting stuff, that's a downer. But honestly, I wouldn't say the game has a lot of replay value either. There are a few differences to the ending, but it doesn't change much. Conclusion : all in all, a fine game, but don't expect too much out of it. If you get it on sale, I'd say it's a fair price for 6 hours of fun.
