Game Mechanics #1 : Maze Game

We all remember the maze games we played on paper when we were kids. Tracing our way through the maze until we reach the end is a satisfying feeling. What if we turn this into a modern game idea? A game that is solely focused on escaping a maze. A realistic 3D Maze.


Premise

The hero wake up in the middle of the maze, disoriented and has no idea where he is. His only mission is to get out of this maze. Hungry and tired, he now has only a matter of hours before he die of starvation.

Features

- The game will be played via a 3rd person or isomatric view.
- There will not be a map throughout the entire game, the player must figure out their own way to keep from getting lost.
- The player can paint walls to mark his location.
- The player can start fire so the smoke will lead him to the nearest air opening depending on the direction of the smoke
- There will be a time limit on the player also, because the player will die from starvation. Unless he finds food somewhere.

To add more excitement to this game, can also incorporate monsters that lurk these maze and will kill you if it discovers you. What do you guys think? Thats all I have on this idea, might expand more on this later on.
