Run a deadly maze alone or with friends as you try to scavenge and extract materials in this hardcore survival sim
London (13/05/2026) – Developer Absam Studios opened the gates to MAZEBOUND: Hunt, Gather, Run! today, a challenging survival horror game about extracting resources from a procedurally generated maze, alone or with friends. The game is out now on Steam for £9.09 / €10.25 / $9.99 with a 20% launch week discount. The game is available here.
A towering wall looms over you. Monsters scream on the other side. Your memory is gone and all that remains are notes on a chalkboard telling you to run the maze, and escape this nightmare island. The world of MAZEBOUND is not for the faint of heart.
Combining brutal melee and ranged combat, players will juggle willpower and hunger with a limited inventory as they venture deep into the maze in search of valuable looting and harvesting opportunities. Your escape depends on your courage.
- Procedurally generated maze design, making each player generated world a fresh challenge
- Wield up to three melee and ranged weapons at a time, including axes, spears, guns and the boinker
- Limited player inventory, requiring brains over brawn
- Physics based storage – push a cart and stack items to help you extract, but consider weight distribution, placement and speed. The monsters are coming
- Craftable upgrades for your cart, including adding a ballista
- Increasing difficulty as players progress further into the maze
- Piece together the maze’s mystery and overcome your amnesia
- Play alone or with friends, with balancing designed to make both approaches challenging but accessible
- Balance risk and reward throughout, from enemy encounters to resources used on upgrades or replenishing your health and willpower
“Making a game from start to finish sometimes feels like navigating a maze of horrors, but the development journey we’ve been on has been the most rewarding experience of all our games,” said Absam Studios founder, Sam. “My wife and I wanted to build something that challenged players and created lasting memories, and having made MAZEBOUND together, it’s our love letter to crafting and survival games.”
A launch competition runs until May 30th, offering dedicated players Steam gift cards for the 10 fastest “Runs” on the leaderboard. For full details, see the game’s Steam page news post.
