MAY 13 IS FINALLY HERE!

We are thrilled to finally say this: MAZEBOUND is out today.

We’re ABSAM STUDIOS, Sam & Abbie, and for the last year or so we’ve been pouring everything into this strange maze game together. Creating monsters, survival systems, hidden details, and all the little moments that make the maze feel alive.

We’ve shared bits of the game along the way, testing ideas, polishing mechanics, experimenting with systems, and pushing everything further to make the maze feel tense, unpredictable, and fun to explore.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who gave feedback throughout development, and we can’t wait for you all to experience MAZEBOUND for yourselves.

PLAYTESTER TRIBUTE

We added the names of over 50 playtesters inside the cabin as a tribute.

Lore-wise, they’re the people who woke up in this place before you and left their names behind to be remembered.

A lot of these players spent hours helping us test bugs, balance mechanics, and survive the maze before release, so we wanted them to permanently be part of MAZEBOUND’s world.

If you were part of the playtests and don’t see your name, please let us know. We may have accidentally missed someone while putting everything together.

SOLO SPEEDRUN COMPETITION

The first 10 players to make it onto MAZEBOUND’s solo speedrun leaderboard will win Steam Gift Cards.

Winners will be decided by May 30th at 10 AM PDT.

🥇 1st Place — $50 🥈 2nd Place — $25 🥉 3rd Place — $10 4th–10th Place — $5 each

Important:

  • Runs under 2 hours will require video proof.

  • Winners will be announced publicly with a screenshot of the leaderboard.

  • Winners must contact us via discord afterward to confirm ownership of their Steam account/run.

Please also let us know if you come across anything that needs our attention. We’ll keep improving and updating the game over time based on feedback.

Thank you for giving MAZEBOUND a chance.

See you in the maze.

-Sam & Abbie, Absam Studios
