Peter Porter's daughter Penny loves mazes, and has asked her father to take her to a giant maze attraction built by the legendary "Maze Meister". However, when the Meister himself uses magic to kidnap her, Peter gives chase, and ends up in a realm of mazes he must navigate in order to rescue her.
----
!!Mr. Tropes:
* ActionDad: Peter Porter, the main protagonist, is driven to rescue his daughter no matter what the Maze Meister does to try and stop him.
* AlliterativeName: The main characters are Peter Porter and his daughter Penny Porter.
* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent:
** Midway through the game, the scene briefly shifts from Peter trying to reach where his daughter is being imprisoned to Penny trying to escape the Maze Meister's dungeon, and swaps back to Peter soon after.
** By finding all of the Thought Stones in a level, the player unlocks new bonuses in "The Study", where they play as the Maze Meister himself and interacts with them.
* BeneathSuspicion: Midway through the game, it turns out that the Maze Meister is none other than [[spoiler:the ticket attendant for the Scrap Palace attraction that Peter interacted with at the very start]].
* BookEnds: [[spoiler:After the confrontation with the Maze Meister in his castle, the final playable segment is the same as the first: back at the Scrap Palace maze attraction in the real world.]]
* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:In the final confrontation at the top of Meister's Mount, the Stag stuns the Maze Meister and Peter punches him off the mountaintop, with the camera cutting away while he's still falling.]]
* EnvironmentalNarrativeGame: Every level is centered around beating a different version of TheMaze, but there are never any dangerous threats and the player can take as long as they like to explore each level. Additionally, there is various lore and other narrative elements that can be discovered by exploring, either through activating Thought Stones or reading the journals of other victims of the Maze Meister.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: While exploring the Maze Meister's dungeons, Penny comes across a trio of caged-up animals: a sheep, a horse, and a stag. Later, she sees the Maze Meister muttering to himself over what to have for dinner: the sheep or the horse. He didn't mention the stag because [[spoiler:it's actually a GuardianEntity that he wasn't aware of]].
* GuardianEntity: [[spoiler:The stag, which Peter and Penny can throughout the game (including the very start in the real world), turns out to be the last man who challenged the Meister, using magic to watch over and protect them.]]
* JumpScare: InUniverse, [[spoiler:the linear corridor that is the entrance of Brain Castle is filled with skeletons suddenly popping into existence with a scream and then immediately disappearing, which at first genuinely startles Peter but ends with him just getting annoyed at the constant interruptions]].
* KlingonPromotion: One of the Thought Stones on Dinky Island is about a man that's envious of another islander that's setting up a ferry business, and decides to promote himself to "Captain". When Peter seeks out the sole ferryman after solving the level's mazes, he speaks with the same voice that narrated that Thought Stone.
* LivingMemory: Scattered throughout all of the "realms" are Thought Stones, which record the thoughts of those that first interact with them (whether it's a mere rabbit, a robot servant, or Peter himself) and plays them back when Peter or Penny interact with them.
* TheMaze: The game revolves around exploring a variety of mazes in order to activate runes, reach their goals, and continue the story.
* MyGreatestFailure: The Maze Meister's actions are motivated by his own. [[spoiler:The Inferno was originally a hedge maze that he designed for his own daughter, but it caught fire and he failed to save her, with the only trace of her remaining being a memory in the Thought Stone in its center that he's been sending the people he kidnaps to try and obtain.]]
* NotQuiteDead: In TheStinger, [[spoiler:the Maze Meister awakens from his DisneyVillainDeath at the bottom in a snow pile and vows to get his vengeance on Peter]].
* SequelHook: The game ends with [[spoiler:Penny wondering how all of the other people the Maze Meister kidnapped will be rescued, with Peter dismissing it by saying that it will take a smarter mind than his own to do that and the Stag will still be there to protect the Dwellers until then]]. And then TheStinger, [[spoiler:the Meister awakens from his fall and declares that he'll get his revenge on Peter]].
* ShoutOut:
** There is a blatant poster of John Snow with the ''Series/GameOfThrones'' logo on one of the walls in the Scrap Palace maze.
** "Big Jim", the SnakeOilSalesman, is such an obvious reference to WebVideo/{{Jimquisition}} that his "Big Jimporium" store uses an exact copy of James Stephanie Sterling's original logo.
** A Thought Stone that recorded "Big Jim" has him think about how the current location of his business is much better than the last place he visited, "[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim The Rim of the Sky]]".
* SnakeOilSalesman: "Big Jim", a large, tophatted salesman at Dock Town, is mostly focused on turning a profit despite being trapped in the Maze Meister's realms, and sells mainly waterproof barrels and figurines of himself.
* TitleDrop: At the end of the game, [[spoiler:people call Peter "Mr. Maze" for having conquered the Maze Meister's challenges and rescued his daughter and some other children in the process, revealing that it's a ProtagonistTitle]].
