Inner Mazes — Souls Guides

Dive into a carefully crafted turn-based 3D platformer that guides you through a surreal maze of illusion, ghosts, and spiritual mentors. In this journey, you step into the shoes of Lucas, a born medium seeking enlightenment through afro-brazilian traditions. Across a sequence of enigmatic levels, you will interact with lost souls and entities who are willing to help you in exchange for your focus and energy.

The core puzzle mechanic centers on four spiritual guides you will learn to channel. Each guide contributes unique abilities to solve intricate mazes, while demanding energy in return. You control the flow of their power, but overusing them drains their energy and leaves them unable to act until you give them back what they need. The game emphasizes careful resource management as part of the puzzle solving.

Characters and guides:

• Lucas — the protagonist and a developing medium. His own energy bar doubles as your health; if it runs out, the journey ends.
• Exu — a knowledge-focused guide linked to the material world. Calm yet bold, Exu can traverse dark places, recover energy with sugarcane liquor, open hidden paths, and walk through flames.
• Pombagira — a guide whose influence echoes prosperity and feminine vitality. She can destroy obstacles, walk through flames, and recharge energy with wine cups.
• Erê — a child spirit with rapid movement. He always moves two tiles at a time, can jump over gaps, and is the only guide who can skip a turn by playing. He recharges energy with candies.
• Preto Velho — an elder spirit of wisdom who can walk over water and regenerate health. He restores energy with coffee and holds deep healing knowledge.

As you explore each level, you’ll uncover hidden items and unlock pathways that reveal more about these entities (with real information planned for future updates). The maze environment blends dreamlike visuals with a sense of spiritual discovery, inviting you to balance exploration, timing, and the careful use of your guides’ powers.

Key ideas to remember: you are a medium channeling the energy of your guides to solve puzzles. Their power is limited and entangled with your progress; misusing it drains both their energy and your survival chances. Hidden sections and optional routes reward curiosity and strategic planning, while the atmosphere invites contemplation of enlightenment through tradition and spirit.

Embark on this surreal odyssey through Inner Mazes — Souls Guides, where every corridor tests your wits, every ally teaches a lesson, and every step brings you closer to light within the labyrinth.
