Odious Maze
A downloadable game
After making the Odious Sudoku, I decided to give myself another strange game design / art experiment challenge:
Convert a standard 15x15 maze into a one page text adventure inspired by Choose Your Own Adventure books, while staying as close as possible to the experience of a standard paper maze (only simple choices, no story).
This is the result.

I adore this! Such a clever idea and a perfect execution of it. It's got me looking to see if there's something else I can give the treatment to.
Curious how you put this together. Did you manually write it out, or use some sort of automation for it?
Thank you!
To make it I wrote a Python script that converted the maze into a series of steps and then randomized the order of each possible step.
The script's output was then copied over to InDesign to create the final design.
