Indie game developer and publisher Absam Studios is proud to announce a major update to MAZEBOUND, the studios critically acclaimed survival horror release on STEAM™. MAZEBOUND offers a relentless and frantic gameplay experience in which you are trapped in a maze with no option but to hunt, gather, and run to survive, alone or with friends. But you're not the only one watching, and you're not the only one starving…

MAZEBOUND just added Hardcore Mode, a new way to play where death is permanent, resources matter more, and the maze becomes much more dangerous at night. Designed and crafted for those experienced players seeking the ultimate thrill, Hardcore Mode is a more intense version of the game featuring:
- Perma death: if you die, your run is over.
- Hardcore leaderboards have been added.
- Some new monsters have been added to the maze.
- Spawning for certain monsters has been adjusted.
- Hunger depletes faster.
- All doors now close at night in Hardcore Mode.
- There are fewer Waystones.
- A new axe can be unlocked after beating Hardcore Mode.
- A new achievement has been added for beating Hardcore Mode.
Hardcore Mode is meant to make every decision feel heavier. Every fight, every shortcut, every night outside the cabin, and every mistake can end the run. Additionally, a solo competition with a cash prize of USD $1000,- has kicked off to celebrate the new mode, with all details available here:

MAZEBOUND offers a challenging survival horror game about extracting resources from a procedurally generated maze, alone or with friends. A towering wall looms over you. Monsters scream on the other side. Your memory is gone and all that remains are notes on a chalkboard telling you to run the maze and escape this nightmare island. The world of MAZEBOUND is not for the faint of heart. Combining brutal melee and ranged combat, players will juggle willpower and hunger with a limited inventory as they venture deep into the maze in search of valuable looting and harvesting opportunities. Your escape depends on your courage.
