Maize

Released Dec 2016

Maize is a first-person adventure game about what happens when two scientists misinterpret a memo from the U.S. Government and create sentient corn. And that last sentence is pretty much the least ridiculous thing about the game.

Evaluation

Maize launched on December 1, 2016 as a self-contained first-person adventure game. The only DLC ever released was a standalone soundtrack pack on December 16, 2016 — no gameplay expansions or additional story content have been released. Post-launch developer activity was limited to a controller support patch in December 2016 and a handful of sales and community posts over the years. The most recent developer communication, from April 2026, was a discount announcement tied to a Game Grumps playthrough — it promoted Finish Line Games' upcoming title "Robots at Midnight" but made no mention of any new content planned for Maize itself. The game launched as a complete, finished narrative experience and has remained unchanged in terms of content since December 2016.

About this game

Maize is a first-person adventure game about what happens when two scientists misinterpret a memo from the U.S. Government and create sentient corn. And that last sentence is pretty much the least ridiculous thing about the game.

Explore an abandoned farm and a not-so-abandoned underground research facility as you uncover the mysteries around Maize, and possibly learn a bit about yourself along the way. Or maybe not.

With a colourful cast of characters and an absolutely absurd world, Maize offers up a unique experience that keeps the surprises coming. Seriously, they’re everywhere.

Features

  • Immerse yourself and explore Maize’s fully-realized environment,featuring a cornucopia of areas to explore (see what we did there?)
  • Solve environmental puzzles that get more and more absurd the further you delve into the adventure
  • Uncover the secrets of Maize’s world, as you try and figure out what it is the corn really want, aside from a very good nap
  • Meet some friends and enemies along the way, which include a very small grumpy Russian robot bear and an unhinged corn stalk who’s a bit of a jerk
