MadMaze was [previous description copied from Wikipedia in violation of our Plagiarism policies; please replace with original writing]The player takes on the role of a boy hailing from the Village of Weith. Wellan, the Village Elder, explains to you that The Mad One, an insane deity born of primal chaos, has awakened, and is slowly reclaiming the world, transforming the land it controls into a sprawling and hazardous maze. Now, the MadMaze approaches Weith, and threatens to engulf the village. The boy is tasked by Wellan to travel to the center of the MadMaze and recruit the help of a wizard named Moraziel on the pretext that only with his help can the Mad One be defeated.The MadMaze is divided into three "levels" that themselves are divided into "sections".note Or what modern gaming nomenclature would call "worlds" and "levels" respectively. The gameplay is comprised of two elements - exploration, and interactive scenarios (A.K.A. Places of Power).The maze itself is composed of straight, homogenous corridors and right-angle turns. Each section can be easily mapped out on a sheet of graph paper, and beyond the first level, this becomes necessary. You must navigate the sprawling labyrinth in a first-person perspective and locate Places of Power.At Places of Power, you encounter people, animals, places and/or objects. PoPs are mostly text-based, in contrast to the graphical interface of the mazes. You are presented with a series of choices, usually in the context of a conversation. Correct choices will grant you access to the next section, and the best choices will reward you with some valuable information for future PoPs. However, bad choices will result in your untimely death. These text-based scenarios are the heart of the game; the mazes in between can mostly be considered Filler.At any time outside of a PoP, you can save your game, though you only have one save file available. There is also a password system, but as it was dropped entirely from the second level onward, you can only use it to warp to two PoPs in the first level.The game can be found here.Discussion of the game can be found here. | |

Violation of Common Sense | |
| MadMaze (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c | comment |
Violation of Common Sense: When you reach the Edge of the World for the second time, you can climb the cliffs to reach the next section. If you jump off, you get there much quicker. This despite the fact that the first time you find the Edge of the World, jumping off will result in you falling for eternity, and eventually dying of dehydration. | |

Unwinnable by Design | |
| MadMaze (Video Game) / int_1bd4c0bf | comment |
Unwinnable by Design: Of the Tough to Nasty variety. There are a few choices you can make which will leave you in situations where all you can do is choose how to die. After which, you'll have to load up your last save, and hope it wasn't too far back. If you enter Ogrok's pit in Castle Perilous before you get the Sword Valterre, you'll be left only with the choice to die bravely or die screaming. If you demand that the lyon tell you the necessary words to pass through the ruins of Al-Mugabi, he'll give them to you, but you won't survive long enough to use them. If you see a lake in a desert, and decide to head towards it to restore your water supply, you will be doomed to die of heat stroke. If you encounter the Vizier Aboud in the Garden of Earthly Delights, your fate as a troll slave is sealed. In the Canyon Maze, if you climb down a cliff and remove your armor to lessen your weight, you'll have to choose between falling to your death and being eaten. If you summon a roc on the plain of Ferit, take the Shmuck Bait that yes, you're sure you want to summon it, and wait for it to fully appear, then it won't matter whether you stand your ground or flee. Either way, you're roc food. Encountering the Vizier Aboud in Osmet Kahn's palace is a partial example. You'll be given the option to fight or surrender. But if you surrender, you'll find your sword Valterre won't let you surrender, and you'll be forced to fight Aboud, whom you simply can't beat. Most of the time, however, Aboud will just banish you to the start of the PoP. But if you meet Aboud after fighting Hassan (and not just a sparring match, but an earnest "actively-trying-to-kill-each-other" fight), then this is played fully straight. If Hassan's still alive, Aboud helps him kill you. If you managed to kill Hassan and run into Aboud, he'll simply kill you himself. If you try to attack the Dream Serpent with your sword while your eyes are closed, or try to flee with your eyes closed, your fate of death by snake bite is sealed. If you sneak past the guard of the city Caeseransauris by using the talisman to disguise yourself as a lizardman and then try to meet the city's council of wizards using the same disguise, it won't work. The wizards will see right through your disguise and think you're an enemy spy. The game will then give you some options, but none of them matter. At that point, you're dead no matter what you do. In the Seat of Madness, if you enter the Yellow area, you'll start feeling sick and be given a set of options, including Onward! If you choose Onward! you'll get sicker and get the same set of options, only this time they all have the same result: you die of plague. In the final PoP, if you give the message to the Archpriest, your only options are to either get instantly killed by him or suffer the bad ending. The most egregious example of this is when the maze forks into two paths past a desert. One path leads to the Twisted Temple, while the other leads to the River of Flame. If you choose to go to the Twisted Temple, you'll find a password-protected door to the next maze. A shaman living nearby will offer to give you the password in exchange for traveling to the River of Flame and bringing back some firewater. Taking him up on his offer takes you to the start of the series of mazes that will eventually let you reach the River of Flame. He also gives you a password to warp you back to his yurt once you've done so. Now, here's the thing: at the desert, if you choose to go to the River of Flame, you'll be taken to exactly the same place as if you'd taken up the shaman's offer. Except, if you haven't visited the shaman yet (and if this is your first time through, you haven't), then you have no idea that you're supposed to collect some firewater or return to his yurt with it. Even if you manage to collect some firewater, no one except for the Shaman himself gives you the necessary password to return to him. And there are no exits from the maze where you find the River of Flame, so you will be trapped unless you guess the password. So basically, save yourself the trouble, and take the Northeast path to the Temple every time. Otherwise, you'll take the longer path (the Temple path has 5 mazes, compared to the River's 6), and be forced to miss an entire section of the game. See also the Game-Breaking Bug above. | |

Yet Another Stupid Death | |
| MadMaze (Video Game) / int_39c10f1d | comment |
Yet Another Stupid Death In retrospect, trying to kill the tall, scary elf with a dagger so you can steal his magic sword probably wasn't a good idea. Yeah! Let's charge right into the throne room and kill Timozel! Oh wait, his right-hand man just cast an instant-death spell on you. Never mind. Argue with a green dragon that was about to eat you moments ago that the help he gave you for your quest wasn't very helpful. Especially stupid because if you've done everything right up to this point, you should already know that the info he gave is actually helpful. Forget to avert your gaze before interacting with the Dream Serpent. | |

Pop Quiz: One is provided by a Jackass Genie. At a chasm with a rickety bridge, a booming voice gives you a minor quiz, subverting the trope along the way: What your quest is. What your name is (anything besides a blank form will do). What the finest wine in the world is - this is information you do not encounter earlier on, and an incorrect answer will result in death. However, if you get it right, you learn what the finest wine is in the process. | |

Nintendo Hard: The first level is of easy-medium difficulty. The second level considerably trickier, as it's easy to miss important passwords or information. If you're not consulting a Walkthrough, and you miss anything, you're out of luck. The mazes are also nearly twice the size of the first level's. In the third level, the sections are about 1.6 times the size of the second level, and the PoPs feature logic puzzles of a level of such complexity that you'll require the kind of chart you find in a puzzle magazine. Fortunately, before you pass through the Lair of the Insect Mother, you can return to any section in the level, thanks to the transportation service offered by the Floating City. | |

Permanently Missable Content | |
| MadMaze (Video Game) / int_6602cad | comment |
Permanently Missable Content: Technically averted. The game does not keep track of your inventory or information you come across as you move from Place Of Power to Place Of Power. To use an item, you have to prove you own it by describing some of its features. This means that you can get through any situation simply by saving beforehand and brute-forcing the solution if necessary. That said, if you are opposed to guessing answers or using Walkthroughs, it is incredibly easy to permanently lose access to important information. PoPs can be repeated indefinitely (as explained in the Shall I Repeat That? entry), but once you pass through them to the maze beyond, the exit is immediately walled off behind you. With some exceptions, you won't be able to reach that PoP (or preceding PoPs) ever again. Thankfully, the third level, which is harder in many respects to the first two levels, is lenient in this regard, as most PoPs can be revisited. | |

He usually does manage to give good advice most of the time he gives advice. It's just that most of the time, he doesn't offer a suggestion and he can never live down the one time he gives bad advice on which fruits to pick. If you consult Iggy in the final round of your final battle with the Archpriest he will inadvertently give you the clue to winning. | |

Happens one more time at the start of the final PoP, in the Seat of Madness where you're given the choice to either "Use Talisman" or "Wait". If you choose Wait you'll get a subtle hint that waiting isn't such a good idea, then another option of "Use Talisman" or "Wait". If you Wait again you'll get a less subtle hint that waiting's the wrong decision, followed by the choice, "Use Talisman" or "Die". | |

What the Hell, Player?: If you reach the River of Flame and, before collecting some firewater, chant the spell to transport yourself back to the shaman, prepare to get an earful. When you encounter a large green dragon blocking your path, he'll force you to play a game with him. If you stall for time, eventually the dragon will lose his temper and tell you to just "shut up and play." | |

Point of No Return | |
| MadMaze (Video Game) / int_7ae4d273 | comment |
Point of No Return: The third level, which stops dividing the maze into discrete sections, has two of the Cruel variety. Once you enter the Insect Mother's lair, you'll be trapped in a small sub-section, with the only exit being the Pyramid of the Insectidae. If you haven't yet gathered all the information to pass the traps, and save here... well, prepare to die. A lot. Another occurs when you enter the final section of the maze. | |

Password Save | |
| MadMaze (Video Game) / int_95974d1d | comment |
Password Save: The Cipher seems to have been intended as one — certain points in the game give you a poem, and by reciting that poem at the title screen you can be returned to that point. However, the game also has a fully-functioning actual save system, making the Cipher redundant — which is probably why there aren't a whole lot of Cipher points in the game anyway. | |

Interface Spoiler: Remembering that the game has no memory (meaning there's no inventory and no Event Flags) allows the player to rule out several useless options that would otherwise seem perfectly valid; acquiring items is rarely necessary, and when it is, you generally acquire the item at the same moment you learn you need it (as the game's only method of checking what you have is to ask the player directly). | |

What the finest wine in the world is - this is information you do not encounter earlier on, and an incorrect answer will result in death. However, if you get it right, you learn what the finest wine is in the process. | |

He usually does manage to give good advice most of the time he gives advice. It's just that most of the time, he doesn't offer a suggestion and he can never live down the one time he gives bad advice on which fruits to pick. If you consult Iggy in the final round of your final battle with the Archpriest he will inadvertently give you the clue to winning. | |

Shall I Repeat That? | |
| MadMaze (Video Game) / int_f50ba444 | comment |
Shall I Repeat That?: Exaggerated. Most PoPs can be repeated indefinitely by exiting the way you came and going back in. Also, within a given PoP, you can repeat actions that should not be repeatable, such as killing stuff. A rather sadistic example of this occurs after the shaman sends you off to the series of mazes leading to the River of Flame. When you finally return to the shaman, you are given the choice to Go North, or Go East (Towards Temple). If you accidentally select the former option, you must run the series of mazes to the River of Flame all over again. | |

The Very Definitely Final Dungeon: You'll know you're there when you reach the first section of maze that isn't outdoors. | |

Sequence Breaking | |
| MadMaze (Video Game) / int_fb111d49 | comment |
Sequence Breaking: The game has no Event Flags and does not track your inventory, so it's possible to get through puzzles that require a particular object or spell by just acting like you already have it. To prevent this from trivially breaking the game, players are required to select the correct magic word to activate whatever they're using — though of course, that works less well on later playthroughs. | |

All Trolls Are Different: In this game, they are huge, green, and stupid. You encounter one guarding a well very early on. | |

Bigger on the Inside | |

Bigger on the Inside: While the various forests you encounter in the first level can seem to exceed the dimensions set by the surrounding walls, it's nothing compared to the entire deserts you come across in the second level, or the futuristic cities in the third level. | |
