JJJ, put in a sort of "failsafe" for the maze bit. I think if you haven't solved it after 100 or so turns, it gives you the option to bypass it. Though I think you only get the option once.

Your score gets lowered at the end if you do it this way, but you'll be able to finish the story.

I regret the maze, tbh. Not the worst thing ever, stops lots of those people who click through to trash the game but yeah, Endmaster is right. The maze saves you automatically.

lol i love that logic! "they want to complain about my game? i will make it to where they cant ever finish it to leave comments!' lol

Haha! nooooo! That's not my intention. It's more like: "They want to senselessly rate my story a 1 for no reason (like what happened to Mommy), well fine, but you're going to have to get pretty far in first.

It did a pretty good job of fleshing out those who didn't want to read it though. I know the only reason i kept through it (I don't know the answer to your question, OP, I took the dummy's way out :P) was because I really wanted to finish the epic story

i would have given this game an 8 in fact it was challegning for my favorite. Then i hit the maze and i was not only angered but i feel it cheapens the game the Necromancer is now still the greatest game on here

The Order of the Midnight Sun Maze

I agree that it cheapens the game. You should play Ground Zero though.

The Order of the Midnight Sun Maze

Ground Zero is good.

The Order of the Midnight Sun Maze

Totally agree

There was a bit of a bug with the failsafe. If you get through before it appears, it comes up randomly in the story. I asked JJJ to 'save me' when that happened, and I had to use the back button to get back to where I was in the story.

The Order of the Midnight Sun Maze

if you say "I can tough it out", then it brings you back to wherever you were without using the back button

LMAO that person said that 3 years ago, Jason.... 3 YEARS AGO.

HA!!YESS!!!! I finally got to the end of the maze without the cheat from jjj!But it took me a million turns of random guessing and i totally forgot what i did

The Order of the Midnight Sun Maze

same lol, luck ftw.

The Order of the Midnight Sun Maze

I actually took the time to draw the maze from my head. I think i made alot  of mistakes on it but it helped me reach the end of it without the cheat.

The Order of the Midnight Sun Maze

I remember doing the same thing, I just mapped it out until I hit a dead end then went back until I got to the last untouched path, and went from there. 

The Order of the Midnight Sun Maze

How long did it take you guys to get through the maze, it took  me I think 1 - 3 hours cant really remember.

The Order of the Midnight Sun Maze

11 years ago

4 hours,

first hour was random movment

2nd was finding the beginning again

3rd-4th was map-making and eventual win!

The Order of the Midnight Sun Maze

11 years ago

I think I was close to the center when the cheat option popped up, but I took that instead.

The Order of the Midnight Sun Maze

11 years ago

I'm doing the same thing. Hey, if you still have the map, do you think you could post it?

The Order of the Midnight Sun Maze

11 years ago

I don't think it's very good and i started it while i was deep inside the maze. I mostly used it to find the entrance if i hit a deadend again. Also i got rid of it after i beat the game. :D

Awww, sadness.

I FOUND THE WAY OUT! (Warning: spoilers) It is: 

East, East, South, East, North, West, North, North, West, North, North, East, East, East, South, East, North, West, North, North, East, South, East, North, East, South, West, South.

Sorry it's so hard to follow, but it's the best I can do.

Sorry to JJJ if you wanted people to figure it out on their own, but that maze is SO! DAMN! HARD! AHHHHHH!

The Order of the Midnight Sun Maze

GAH! The number at the top says 103. Beyond that, I am sooo lost. I didn't wanna use the fail safe so I said no. I regret it. Can you point out how to do it from the 103 point?

The Order of the Midnight Sun Maze

I`m am so thankfull, FINNALY!

HINT: Higher page numbers means you are closer.

It only took an hour. I first wrote what I did, but I then just did with the help of the above hint, and did that in 30 minutes.

I was annoyed that if you fail the abyss, you have to reset the entire game. Can't there be a back to the start of the maze or something further down?

The Order of the Midnight Sun Maze

You can always use the back button in the top right corner of the storygame window!

The Order of the Midnight Sun Maze

9 years ago

Yeah, but it only goes back one page.

The Order of the Midnight Sun Maze

9 years ago

You can keep pressing it. Or you can save your game at one point and just restore to there.

The Order of the Midnight Sun Maze

JJJ, did you get rid of most of your game description or something?

I feel like there were a ton of disclaimers and other stuff before...

The Order of the Midnight Sun Maze

9 years ago

Yeah.

The Order of the Midnight Sun Maze

When the fail safe popped up for me, I was stubborn and turned it down. That was a terrible mistake. I spent like 2 hours trying to figure it out before giving up.

I'll be honest, I've never felt annoyed with the Maze. Maybe it's just because I drew up maps for Zork, but it really wasn't difficult. 

The Order of the Midnight Sun Maze

9 years ago

Yeah, I found it fairly easy to do as well.

The Order of the Midnight Sun Maze

u have a walthrough? i keep ending up at the entrance after like a hundred clicks each time

According to Amy it is:

The Order of the Midnight Sun Maze

Also, if you just keep walking around it will eventually give you the option to skip the maze.

The Order of the Midnight Sun Maze

The Order of the Midnight Sun Maze

It's honestly not that hard. Just write down each path you take.
