Blind Boxed

This game was developed for the Bare Bones Jam 2026: https://itch.io/jam/bare-bones-jam-26

No visuals, zero audio, only text, and one single theme - MONSTER.

You find yourself magically blindfolded, and standing at the centre of a labyrinth.  Your kidnapper - some sort of demon lady - is hell bent on holding you hostage... unless you can find your way out of her maze and prove yourself to be worthy of her mercy.

What are her intentions?  How big is this maze?  Can this she-devil be trusted to keep her word if you beat her challenge?

Blinded, scared and (almost) alone, all you can do is trust your intuition and set off walking, with nothing but your terrified heartbeat for company.  Can you find the path to freedom without paying a hellish price?
