This is a simple, text-based game for readers of the IFA anthology From the Ashes: Legends Never Die as part of the book's promotion.  It contains depictions of violence, death, and drinking alcohol, as well as swearing and sexuality. It is not intended for children.


After a night of drinking with your friends at the village tavern, you find yourself next to a fountain at the centre of a maze belonging to a magic house. If you don't get out before time runs out, you'll be stuck here forever.

Thank you for playing, and good luck getting through ''The Maze''.

Game designed and written by Lesley Donaldson based on characters from her story The Gentlesword in the IFA release From the Ashes: Legends Never Die (2021).

Game Engine: Twine, Harlowe
