What Can You Expect?
An Invisible Maze – A circular labyrinth of glass you can barely see. Throw mud at it and it will show you where it is, for a moment.
Air That Runs Out – Your mask’s oxygen drains with every step, and faster when you run. Every wrong turn costs you.
A Carter M-33 – A flame pistol with very little fuel. Use it wisely.
The Watchers – One by one, the man-lizards come out of the jungle and stand around the maze. They don’t come in. They watch.
Total Immersion – Sound, mud, haze and silence, built to make you feel every minute of it.
