Games Like Maize key (2026)

Shared: Environmental Storytelling, Atmospheric

A brutally honest survival sim where the Canadian wilderness is the only villain. No zombies, no jump scares, just cold math and bad decisions.

Shared: Linear Narrative, Short Playtime

Four to five hours of pure atmospheric dread that will stick in your memory far longer than its runtime, if slow-burn horror puzzle-platformers are your thing, this is required playing.

Shared: Linear Narrative

A wordless, dystopian 2D platformer that pulls you through its world like a current you can't swim against. Short, precise, and hard to shake.

Shared: Environmental Storytelling

You are Miles Upshur, a journalist with a camcorder and zero combat skills, trapped inside a psychiatric asylum that is very much still occupied.

Shared: Short Playtime

GRIS is a wordless platformer about grief told through watercolor animation and a swelling score. Quiet, intentional, and unlike most things on Steam.
