Praise for Winifred Phillips' #Wizardry soundtrack: "One would never guess it was for a video game, instead the epic-sounding flourishes and proud & driving themes are more associated with fantasy movies or even Marvel." shorturl.at/zzKWc

"Your opponent’s the maze. These floor plans, these warrens, are devious: secret doors; teleportation traps; passageways that double back and wrap around each other." - Sean Weeks for GamingTrend

We have made the game much more accessible, but it's still tough by its nature. That said, when you played our Wizardry and adjusted all those Old School Options to your personal taste, which QoL features did we not include that you wished we had? What was your experience like in The Maze?

We've heard some players ask how to turn off difficult or unfair elements of #Wizardry -- but some of those things are what make it legendary!

When you experience the difficulty that comes with old-school restrictions, do not walk away from this challenge. Rise to it. ⚔️

We based this on the Apple II original, as that is the ported code that is running within Unreal Engine. Some consideration was given to the gameplay experience of the 16-bit console editions, but visually, we started not from the PSX version but from scratch.

The SDX version is just for Japan. We are planning an English physical release as well but don't have details on that yet.

Thanks! We really hope people find this amazing and foundational game to be more accessible with our version, so they can appreciate its place in history (and perhaps understand its resulting difficulty).
