Backstory:

The "Maze Master," whose real name is Norman Atkins, had started off life as a hard-working, happy man who worked long hours as a lawyer. He was married to a woman named Clarice and was madly in love with her. He lived a happy life with his wife and was always loyal to her.

Little did he know at that time, that this happiness was all about to come to an end. On the night of Christmas Eve of 2011, he was supposed to work late at the office, but decided to surprise his wife and come home to celebrate the holiday with her instead. When he got home he noticed the lights were off, so he figured she had went to bed early. He silently entered the house so that he would not disturb what he thought was his sleeping wife. He tip-toed up to the bedroom, and as he got to the bedroom door he heard some faint moans. He then heard the voice of another man. He barged into the room to find his wife cheating on him. Startled, she immediately began to cry and beg Norman not to go. He did not listen to her plea, and he stormed out of the house and drove off into the night. He decided right at that moment that he would rid the world of those who are unfaithful to there partners. He decided that, in honor of those who had their hearts broken like he had, he would take those who cheat and torture them with complex, dangerous mazes in which they would have to fight for their lives. He started with his wife and has killed 19 others since. His real name is always unknown to his victims, and has since been referred to as "Maze Master." His life as Norman Atkins had abruptly come to an end.

Minor Project 9 - Option 1 (Maze Backstory)

Maze Backstory

This maze is used by "Maze Master" , a highly dangerous serial killer who tortures his victims. He puts them through a series of complex mazes that makes them struggle and fight for their lives to be spared. This maze is one of the tests he has for his victims. They have a time limit to navigate their way through the maze and collect all 5 objects from the 5 crates located throughout the maze before exiting. If they do not navigate their way out in time with all of the objects from the crates, the exit is closed off and they are killed. If they do happen to navigate their way out in time and with all of the objects from the crates, their life is spared.


Game Mechanic


The player can earn points in this game each time they collect an object from a crate. You get bonus points for collecting all of the crates. The player also earns points depending upon how quickly you complete the maze. The faster you get out with all of the objects, the more points you will get.
