Welcome to our weekly news! Time for us to inspect our surrounding environment, Dead Maze's maps are vast and each of them offer a greatly different experience. Let's roll!

A contemporary universe

We want to allow you to travel through familiar scenes : those iconic places were once familliar and benign before the apocalypse. But since the fall, urban areas have been abandonned or ravaged to the point where everything is to be re-explored.
But Dead Maze is not limited to civilized environnements, we designed wilder and even deadlier environments, where unprepared survivors might perish due to environnemental effects. Infecteds are not the only ones that bite... the cold does too!
And the heat won't be an ally either. Will you survive the searing desert?

Maps uniqueness

As you have already guessed, different territories mean different climates, stories, loots, and a lot of adaptation, which is the key of Dead Maze: to make-do with what's around you. That's survival 101.
Given the maps to explore are huge, the more you stray away from the safe-ish areas represented by campfires, the more you will encounter increasingly dangerous atmospheres and secrets.

The secrets

During your exploration, you might come accross deadends that have something odd to them. Periodically, those will turn into passages that will temporary open, giving access to an extremely dangerous area.
But victory will be sweet: if you manage to handle the hordes of foes, unique rewards will await you by the end of the secret passage.

Shelter

To protect themselves, survivors can gather around campfires to eat, drink, rest, or exchange weapons or other items. Each map begins with one of those campfires, where you carefully park your bike before going on your exploration.
While you explore, you might stumble upon structures that will allow you to gather with your friends. This fire works just as permanent campfires: you can rest and eat, but you will first have to fuel that fire.
If you feel safe enough, and you're really hungry, a small fire like this can come in handy. But warn your teammates: they will only have a very limited amount of time to join you, otherwise it will cost a lot to light that fire again.
Numerous other environments will be available in the game, but let's keep a bit of surprise for the launch! http://store.steampowered.com/app/667890/Dead_Maze/
