A suspicious rustle
The housekeeper was ready to call it a night when a rustle came from behind the pantry. One roach became a whole swarm, and the swarm had already found the corridors between every room.
There was no time to wait for help. With a quick map, a few useful supplies, and a stubborn refusal to surrender the kitchen, she stepped into the maze.
One route at a time
The roaches move through the passages in every direction. The housekeeper must clear the scattered crumbs, find the items that can turn the chase around, and reach the next level before the swarm catches up.
Every escape reveals more passages and more roaches. The maze is never quite as empty as it first looks.
Your part
The story moves forward through play: clear the maze, collect its supplies, and see how long one determined housekeeper can stay ahead of the infestation.
