When I was around 9 years old, the website I played this on tried to desperately warn me by saying I needed "nerves of steel" for this game. I didn't know what those words meant. 2 minutes later, shit made me freeze up so bad that it felt like brain paralysis. The first episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People was downloading in the background. My family was in the other room, blissfully unaware of what I just stumbled into. And there I was, absolutely frozen in my chair. Presumably, taking a mental note that I should probably be more careful of the internet from there on out. I proceeded to do some research on screamers, memorized how a couple of them looked, and vowed to never be tricked into seeing them ever again.
A couple months later, my friend put headphones on me and started playing that car coffee commercial. I jumped out of the chair before the jumpscare even happened, knowing full well what this was. My research... paid off in the end.
I haven't just mastered you, you fucking piece of shit of a browser game. I've mastered how to dodge them all.

Mesmo que eu tenha tido preguiça de realmente terminar o labirinto, dá pra considerar que eu terminei por conseguir chegar no real objetivo do jogo: o maldito jumpscare. Com uma jogabilidade simples e terrível, gráficos totalmente básicos pra não distrair o jogador da concentração, é incrível como The Scary ''labirinto do exorcista'' Maze game praticamente foi um precursor do terror bobo da internet que iria se popularizar mais com creepypastas, jogos focados também em jumpscare e mais recentemente analog horrors. Não dá pra falar que essa tranqueira não teve impacto cultural.
"Its just a prank, bro"
Fuck you, your child is 5 years old.
The Scary Maze Game, and the rest of these weird "jumpscare made to look like something simple and safe" games from the early 2000s were so obnoxious. Only thing worse was the slew of videos on YouTube of people snickering behind the camera while they made their young children, or grandparents, or whatever play them and then burst into tears.
Save that for people who can appreciate a it, is it really that hard? If you're not both laughing, it wasn't a prank- you're just an asshole.
I blame this game for making them popular.
