Maize

In "Maize," players are thrust into an adventure on an abandoned farm near a secretive research facility. Players regularly encounter anthropomorphic corn stalks, a talking teddy bear (Vladdy), puzzles to solve, and information to collect. Narrative themes include absurdity, humor (often insulting), and tasks building on each other.
