Maze of Me is a command-line psychological adventure where your digital self is the foundation for a unique, emotional narrative. The game adapts to your profile, calendar, moods, and social connections, creating a different journey every session. Navigate a procedurally generated text maze, meet AI figures who remember your feelings and contacts, and discover how your online presence shapes your subconscious world.
OAuth logins (Spotify, Google, with Facebook & Instagram coming soon) bring in real data to create an interactive and personal experience.
Players awake in a mysterious maze. The story and rooms reference your real-world data, events, moods, and contacts, integrating your digital and emotional life into an interactive psychological narrative:
-
Act 1: Awakening
Bright rooms and supportive AI figures welcome you. Upbeat music, selected from your top Spotify tracks and YouTube history, enhances the mood. -
Act 2: Whispers
Rooms and AI figures reference real calendar events, friends, or memories. NPCs become more challenging, sometimes asking about people in your contacts or your recent mood. -
Act 3: Collapse and Reflection
The maze responds to your feedback, looping through memories and feelings until you reach deeper self-understanding or choose to start over.
- Google OAuth
- Fetches: profile info, calendar events, YouTube watch history, contacts (names, emails, birthdays), Gmail subjects (last 5), Google Tasks (top 10), and recently watched YouTube channels.
- All data is merged into your game profile and used for richer room/NPC generation.
- Spotify OAuth
- Collects: your top tracks, audio features (valence, energy), top artists, favorite genres, liked tracks, and playlists. All data is mapped to in-game moods and events for music and narrative context.
- Procedural Maze & Room Generation
- Rooms are now generated using a much wider set of hooks: your calendar events, YouTube activity, contacts, Gmail, playlists, genres, and more.
- NPCs and room descriptions may reference your favorite artists, email subjects, playlists, and tasks.
- Room hooks and NPC context are more diverse, allowing each playthrough to be completely unique and personal.
- Music as Mood
- Each room's emotion is matched to your music using valence and energy from Spotify data.
- Audio is preloaded using
yt-dlpfor instant playback and played withpygame. - Previous room's audio files are deleted automatically for optimal performance and minimal disk usage.
- Advanced AI NPCs & Memory
- NPCs now have “memory”: they can recall your previous emotions, feedback, and even mention earlier NPC exchanges, moods, or player choices.
- Dialogue is now more deeply personalized—NPCs may reference your recent moods (“I remember you were angry earlier…”), calendar events, contacts, or even subject lines from your recent emails.
- Dialogue choices and emotional feedback influence subsequent AI responses, not just in the current room, but also across your whole session.
- Inspect, Use, and Interact with Room Items
- You can now inspect or “use” furniture in each room for additional AI/NPC context, which may reference your personal data or prior actions.
- Interactions are richer, sometimes involving a “mini-game” or riddle based on your current mood or room context.
- Persistent Save/Load Sessions
- The game now supports saving and continuing your journey later, preserving your room history, moods, and all NPC memory.
- Stats and mood breakdowns are available at any time to track your psychological journey.
- Robust Data & Performance
- Previous room audio files are deleted on transition for disk and performance optimization.
- All major Google and Spotify data fields are now loaded, cached, and referenced in both gameplay and AI logic.
- AI Loading Spinner
- Whenever the AI NPC is generating a response, a live spinner keeps the interface responsive.
- Modern CLI with color, typewriter effect, clear menus, and easy navigation.
- Help menu, graceful exits, and robust error handling.
- Detailed logging of all interactions for transparency and debugging.
- Programming Language: Python 3.13.3
- CLI Engine: Custom-built (input, print, color, spinner, typewriter)
- OAuth Libraries:
spotipy,google-auth,requests-oauthlib - Audio Playback:
pygame,yt-dlp - AI Integration: Local LLM with
llama-cpp-python(Phi-3, LLaMA, Mistral), Ollama, or LM Studio - Data Storage: JSON files
- Utilities: Helpers for parsing, data, and OS/platform detection
- Cross-Platform: Runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS
