Web-Maze is a first-person 3D maze you play right in the browser - designed live by OpenAI's Astra. Astra builds each level's layout, theme and story, then instantly forgets it and races you through its own creation, navigating blind from nothing but what it has personally explored - exactly like you. Every move is a real, live decision, not a pre-baked path. First to the exit wins: beat Astra to advance, or get sent back to retry the level. Mazes grow bigger and harder each level.
