Summary
Trapped in a vast maze and pursued by ghosts, a mysterious entity summons a warrior to help it escape.
Our Take
This one has a cool premise, turning Pac-Man into a grim little sci-fi chase story, but the execution feels thin. The maze sequences look striking at first and then repeat themselves, and there’s not enough story underneath the visuals to make the ending land with any weight. It’s a decent twenty minutes if you’re curious how a game about eating dots becomes a nightmare, but it won’t stick with you.
