* HideAndSeekHorror: The ''Hide and Seek'' level initially plays with the trope by making ''you'' start as the seeker, and the main monster "hiding" from you as you try to collect orbs. If you spot him, he'll say "I'M IT" and begin to play the trope straight as he becomes the seeker after giving you a head start to sneak away from him. Should you be found, the monster will scream "FOUND YOU!", and you have to run away from the monster as it charges toward you, until the monster stops and begins to hide again, putting you in the seeker role again.

* ShutterMode, Mode: Similar to Classic. There are only 9 orbs, but you can only keep Legs at bay by using a camera with a limited battery life.
* Hide andSeek, Seek: An unnamed black and white monster hides around the maze. Coming too close to the monster causes it to go into "seeking" mode, where you must hide from it. Upon finding you, it chases you, smashing through any walls in its path.
* LivingHalls, Halls: The maze is full of monsters that blend into the walls and will attack if you come close. When the timer reaches 0, all the monsters near you will attack automatically. To survive this, you need to hide in one of three vaults until the timer resets.

-> AROUND EVERY CORNER\\
''[=It Steals=]'' is a 2020 maze-roaming horror game in which the player must navigate a checkered labyrinth while avoiding monsters with unique mechanics for each of the game's five modes. It was created by Zeekerss and released on Steam on July 22nd, 2020.
The game features five different modes, each featuring different mechanics for both the player and the monster. The core mechanic of moving through a maze and collecting strange blue orbs remains the same in every mode. Completing each mode rewards a star on the main menu. The modes include Classic, Shutter Mode, Hide and Seek, Living Halls, and The Phantom.
The game has received praise for having unique mechanics, most notably in the Phantom mode.
----
!!Tropes:
* AbandonedArea: There are several implications that the maze the game takes place in was once inhabited by other people.
* BeastInTheMaze: Sums up the gameplay fairly well.
* CantMoveWhileBeingWatched: The monsters in Living Walls mode, as long as the clock on the radar hasn't run out.
* FeaturelessProtagonist: Pretty much the only information given about the protagonist is what their hands look like.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Several of the monsters have glowing red eyes, and in many cases this is the only way you'll know where they are unless it's too late.
* GuideDangIt: The game does not tell you how the monsters work beyond a few lines of very simple instruction at the start of each run. Detailed information 'is' given to you, but only if you die a few times or beat the level first.
* InfiniteFlashlight: The flashlight in Classic and Phantom mode never seems to run out.
* InvisibleMonsters: The Phantom in its respective mode.
* NothingIsScarier: Phantom mode invokes this, as it's easy to start dreading where the invisible monster may be even if it's across the map.
* NowWhereWasIGoingAgain: The maze all has the same checkerboard pattern, often making it difficult to figure out if you've been somewhere. Your only help is a minimalist radar that shows the nearby layout and any nearby orbs.
* ScareChord: A sharp musical sting usually accompanies suddenly seeing the monster or said monster being enraged.
* TheMaze: All five modes take place in a large maze.

''[=It Steals=]'' is a 2020 maze-roaming horror game in which the player must navigate a checkered labyrinth while avoiding monsters with unique mechanics for each of the game's five modes. It was created by Zeekerss and released on Steam on July 22nd, 2020.
The game features five different modes, each featuring different mechanics for both the player and the monster. The core mechanic of moving through a maze and collecting strange blue orbs remains the same in every mode. Completing each mode rewards a star on the main menu. The modes include Classic, Shutter Mode, Hide and Seek, Living Halls, and The Phantom.
The game has received praise for having unique mechanics, most notably in the Phantom mode.

!!Tropes:
* AbandonedArea: There are several implications that the maze the game takes place in was once inhabited by other people.
* BeastInTheMaze: Sums up the gameplay fairly well.
* CantMoveWhileBeingWatched: The monsters in Living Walls mode, as long as the clock on the radar hasn't run out.
* FeaturelessProtagonist: Pretty much the only information given about the protagonist is what their hands look like.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Several of the monsters have glowing red eyes, and in many cases this is the only way you'll know where they are unless it's too late.
* GuideDangIt: The game does not tell you how the monsters work beyond a few lines of very simple instruction at the start of each run. Detailed information 'is' given to you, but only if you die a few times or beat the level first.
* InfiniteFlashlight: The flashlight in Classic and Phantom mode never seems to run out.
* InvisibleMonsters: The Phantom in its respective mode.
* NothingIsScarier: Phantom mode invokes this, as it's easy to start dreading where the invisible monster may be even if it's across the map.
* NowWhereWasIGoingAgain: The maze all has the same checkerboard pattern, often making it difficult to figure out if you've been somewhere. Your only help is a minimalist radar that shows the nearby layout and any nearby orbs.
* ScareChord: A sharp musical sting usually accompanies suddenly seeing the monster or said monster being enraged.
* TheMaze: All five modes take place in a large maze.
