What is PATHFINDERS?

PATHFINDERS, subtitled Find Your Way, is a minimalist 2D maze puzzle made solo in Unity by dipranshupatel as a portfolio project. It is free on itch.io and runs in a browser. It is a singleplayer game, and every maze is procedurally generated, so no two games share a layout.

How a run plays

You start inside a maze and steer toward the exit. That is the entire objective: read the corridors, back out of dead ends, and keep going until you are out. Reaching the exit ends the game, and starting again builds a new maze. There are no timers, enemies, or items described in the listing.

How it stacks up against rivals

Against fixed-layout maze games and classic printable mazes, this one wins on replay value because the generator makes a fresh path every time. The clean presentation keeps attention on navigation. It loses to more ambitious puzzle games on variety: there are no difficulty settings, mechanics, or goals beyond finding the way out, and the controls are only described on the itch.io page. It is a tidy demonstration of procedural generation rather than a content-heavy release.

Rivals in more detail

Compared with the classic maze sites that generate printable puzzles, this project adds a playable character and a clean visual layer, which makes it more pleasant in a browser. Against puzzle games that mix mazes with keys, switches, or enemies, it is far simpler, and that simplicity is the point: you only read the corridors and move. Because the generator builds a new layout every time, you never memorize a route, and the satisfaction comes from reading the structure quickly. The flip side is that there is no sense of progression; the tenth maze plays like the first. For a portfolio piece made by one person in Unity, it is a tidy, focused result that shows procedural generation working well, and it is a pleasant way to fill five minutes between other tasks.

The verdict

Scorecard against browser maze games: replay value 4/5, because each maze is generated; presentation 4/5, clean and distraction-free; variety 1/5, with a single objective and no modes; documentation 2/5, as controls are only on the itch.io page. The verdict: a solid five-minute puzzle for anyone who likes mazes, and a good example of procedural generation in a small Unity project, but not a game with long-term goals.

Who will enjoy it

It suits players who want a calm, quick puzzle in a browser tab and enjoy the small payoff of spotting the route. Anyone looking for progression, scoring, or combat should look elsewhere. The listing marks the game Released.

Before you click Play
