The object of this game is to find your way through a maze and escape without being caught by a goblin who is in hot pursuit.

The northern maze is divided into three sections, and you only see the section that you're currently in.

When you reach an opening of one section which adjoins with an opening of another section, you may pass freely between the two.

The old section is cleared from the screen and the new section appears either above or below it. (This obviously depends on whether you are moving up or down, and all happens in a fraction of a second.)

As the game is played, you can hear the goblin. The closer he is, the lower the pitch of the sound you hear. You can only see the goblin when he is in the same section as you.

The keyboard is used to move around the maze. Keys S and D are used to move left and right, and keys K and L are used to move up and down. The latter two are rather a strange and confusing choice.

Graphics, colour and sound are all used very well.
