Evaluation

Obama Maze launched into Early Access on August 1, 2022 as a free-to-play horror-comedy game. The developer shipped two major content updates — a Halloween update in October 2022 and a Holiday update in December 2023 — along with several smaller patches during that period. A roadmap published on September 1, 2023 outlined plans for versions 0.14, 0.15, and 0.16, with the latter intended to be the full 1.0 release including multiplayer. Development hit a significant obstacle: on March 10, 2025, the developer announced they were shifting focus to another project, describing the existing codebase as too messy to fix. However, rather than abandoning the game entirely, they released an unfinished multiplayer build on a beta branch for players to try. In a follow-up post on October 15, 2025, the developer shared that they had resumed work on Obama Maze by rebuilding it in a new engine, reporting roughly 80–95% completion on most systems, with remaining maps and stable multiplayer still to be finished. That said, the developer cautioned that the new engine build wasn't publicly available yet and explicitly stated they couldn't promise a quick finish. No further updates have been posted since October 15, 2025. The game remains in Early Access with its 1.0 release still pending. Given the history of development difficulties, the shift away from the project, and the absence of any communication since October 2025, the path to completion remains uncertain.

Evidence

Developer confirms they are rebuilding Obama Maze in a new engine, reporting ~80-95% completion on most systems, with remaining maps and stable multiplayer still needed. Explicitly states they cannot promise a quick finish. Last official communication to date.

About this game

Overview

Welcome to Obama's collection of horror mazes! You (The Obama Hunter) Must navigate through the former president's mazes in order to collect all of his "Obama Prisms." These mystical rocks go by many names, "Obamiums", "Obama Prisms", and or "Obama Pyramids". However, the name of them doesn't matter when you are being chased in hot pursuit by the former president.

This game is a joke horror-comedy game please don't get too upset by it...

The 3 maps

Normal Maze. Welcome to Obama Maze. This will most likely be your first real course in the game. You will start in a randomly generated brick maze. You must navigate the never seen before generated maze and collect all 7 Obamiums but watch out! You will be chased by none other than former United States President Barack Obama. This maze will not only generate Obamiums but you also will find traps! Traps can be used to slow down Obama so he cannot catch you. Once you collect all of the Obamiums you will hear the maze door opening and it is your job to locate the door and escape the maze.

Endless Maze. This maze is similar to the first Normal Maze level however instead of collecting 7 Obamiums there isn't a score limit. 6 Obamiums will be spawned at once so if you cannot find one you surely will find another one.
Forest Maze. This maze is unique like the last. Instead of a standard brick maze, you will be navigating a forest. This forest is wide open and dark, you'll easily lose your sense of direction here. Be sure once you collect all 7 Obamiums you head back to the truck which you spawned at.

Once you complete all 3 Mazes you're awarded with self esteem of beating a video game... for now.

Additionally I'd like to warn despite it being a free to play game, that does not mean the system requirements match most other free to play game. You will need a decent computer for this game and if you do not meet or exceed the system requirements you may have a rough time playing the game.
