you guys are pussies

The Scary Maze Game is very similar to games like Sonic.EXE, both of these games came out years and years ago, and really appeased to a child demographic.
This is THE screamer game. This is the most famous, most popular, most known screamer out there. Now is it good? No. Not at all, but you cannot deny this was quite big for these internet horror games for the time.
And despite being 20 years old now, there's still remakes coming out, people making their own versions of it, which show how its impact really lasted a long time.
The game's really bad, but it does have a strong part of indie horror culture.
Overall: 2/10

Such a chill and cozy game <3
I remember being surrounded by my brother and his friends while they egged me on to play it. I was very skeptical. My brother would never want anything to do with me so I knew there was something up about this little game. Next thing I know I'm getting traumatized by creepy pasta esque shit that I was consuming at the time. I screamed so hard. I was so freaked out but I couldnt let anyone see me cry so I laughed it off. Then we started watching california girls music video and playing games on facebook. good times?

SCREAMING NOISES
As a wee one, we remember playing this game as a goof while on a play date with a classmate of ours. We played it mute (we're sure SOMEONE out there would get mad at a child version of us for that one!), and had fun discussing how silly it was that there was a video game that only existed to scare you. (Bear in mind, we were too young to know stuff like Silent Hill or Resident Evil existed yet.) Then we ate a cupcake afterwards.
A third of that 1.5 star rating is for the cupcake. Another third is for the conversation. And the remaining third is because, well, we just can't say no to it. Make no mistake; this game is uh, pretty dogshit? It's an unwinnable game that exists to cheaply scare you, oh noes. But it's a very fun game to discuss because of its hilariously unique spot in the internet zeitgeist of yesteryear, even if the game overall is just completely fucking nothing as an actual "game"--somehow even less so compared to stuff like Super Press Space to Win Action RPG 2009.
Play it once, get your cheap scream/giggle out of it, ruminate on it a little bit with a buddy, then go about your day. Not exactly a compelling video game by any metric, but it's at least fun to talk about. That's The Scary Maze Game experience, baby!

A necessity of early online culture. Yes this thing only has one trick and once it's spent you can only try to enact it onto someone else to wring any sort of further mileage out of it; but getting scared by this thing was like a trial of time - we all had to go through it at some point or another. Nowadays it's cheap and stupid but in its day this shit was character building.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's the scary maze game, what else is there to say? It's a short maze game where you get jumpscared right at the end when you're focused. It's kind of clever how the last path is narrow so you have to lean forward only to then get hit by the jumpscare.
That said, the novelty wore off very quick. It was good while it lasted, and now it's just a footnote in internet history.

There's no problem here.
