A downloadable maze-game for Windows

Vape Scape (Beta)

Can your vape guide you through the darkness... before it dies?

Vape Scape is a first-person atmospheric maze survival game built with a custom raycasting engine in WPF/.NET. Trapped inside an endless series of procedurally generated labyrinths, you must navigate through darkness, dense fog, and disorienting corridors while relying on a single vape device as your only source of light and survival.

Each maze grows larger and more challenging as you progress. Your vape isn't just illumination—its battery, liquid, and coil condition are limited resources that must be managed carefully. Every puff provides temporary visibility, but excessive use can leave you stranded in the dark.

Release smoke clouds to create temporary visual cover, uncover sections of the maze with limited-use map charges, and search for the glowing exit hidden somewhere within each level. Reach higher levels, preserve your resources, and earn a place in the Hall of Vapors leaderboard.
