Bugs, Love, and Shell Games: What’s New in Lord Ambermaze
Hey everyone!
You’ve already taken a peek at our mysterious new acid biome — now it’s time to meet the creature that calls it home. And no, it’s not a cuddly slime...
Introducing: the Robo-Bug — a terrifying fusion of metal, darkness, and the twisted experiments of the Dark Lord.
Half machine, half... yep, you guessed it — beetle. A hulking monstrosity with lasers tucked under its shell, ready to test your reflexes (and patience). Don’t worry — dying is almost fun!
But that’s not all — we’ve packed in a bunch of new mini-games to makeZeyn’s adventure even more exciting.
Feel lucky? Try your hand at the classic shell game and see if you can score some treasure.
Can you escape a pitch-black room with nothing but your instincts?
Solve color puzzles or push some crates around in a good old-fashioned sokoban challenge!
After all, you can’t only dodge spikes and fall into pits, right?
And yes — romance is in the air! We’ve added a touch of love to our chaotic world: characters now have charming gift-receiving animations and adorable little hearts floating above their heads. Because even in the darkest dungeons, everyone deserves a little warmth.
Which update caught your eye the most? Let us know in the comments — and don’t forget to add Lord Ambermaze to your Wishlist! It’s crucial for our survival... as a project, of course. 😅
With love and lasers, The Lord Ambermaze Team
Invincible Beholder, Sewers, and the Dark Lord's Castle
Hello everyone!
We’re excited to share the latest updates on the development of Lord Ambermaze! We’ve made significant progress recently, and we can’t wait to tell you what new adventures await you.
We’ve added two brand-new biomes that will bring a lot of variety to your gameplay experience.
The first one is the Acidic Sewers. This dark and dangerous place is filled with unique enemies and traps that will truly test your skills. Be careful: not only foes are lurking here, but also unexpected challenges!
The second biome is the final location, the Dark Lord's Castle. This eerie and intimidating place will be the climax of your adventure. Here, you’ll face the toughest opponents and most complex puzzles that will require your utmost focus and strategic thinking.
Additionally, we’re thrilled to introduce a new boss from the Lava Biome — Beholder! This fearsome foe will be a true test for all brave souls who have managed to navigate through endless exploding pumpkins and lava.
But beware: Beholder is invulnerable to regular attacks, so you’ll need to use all your cunning and resourcefulness to claim victory!
As of now, all the main content of the game is ready, and our team is actively polishing it up. We’re committed to making this game as engaging and enjoyable as possible for you!
Don’t forget to add our game to your Steam Wishlist and follow our page to stay updated on all news and developments! Your support and interest mean the world to us. Thank you for being with us!

Carving My Own Path: A Woman’s Journey to Create ‘Lord Ambermaze’
Hello everyone!
I’m Anna, the creative visionary, artist, and lead developer of Lord Ambermaze!
In our small team, I handle everything except programming—my husband Alex takes care of that. Although I initially studied to be a programmer because I wanted to make games, I ended up discovering my passion for art during my second year of university. My journey in game development began as an artist on a mobile project, and since then, I've worked on various other projects, including three board games, an animated short film, and, of course, many mobile games.
But I’ve always wanted to create something of my own, which is why I decided to pursue my projects in 2019. I find inspiration in the ability to create something cool and interesting and express my creativity. In any project, 10% consists of exciting and inspiring tasks, while 90% is routine and tedious work. However, motivation comes from seeing the results and watching your own project come to life and grow.
Not everything comes easily. The biggest challenge is making it to the finish line. Sooner or later, you get tired of one project, your head is full of new ideas, but you have to focus on the current game. I also struggle with delegating tasks to others and seeing things go wrong that aren’t due to my own mistakes.
My favorite game is Beyond Good & Evil, and I have a tattoo of the main character, Jade, on my arm. Other favorites include Red Dead Redemption 2—I've played it multiple times and fell in love with the world and the characters, especially Dutch. I have plans of my own; I just need a little more money!
I want to encourage all the women out there working on their games or dreaming of doing so—don’t be afraid to express yourselves and create! Even if things don’t go as planned, don’t fear making mistakes. Remember to always stay true to yourself, your desires, and your creativity. We are carving our own path!
With love, Anna
Love Me, Love Me Not? New Dating Mechanics in Lord Ambermaze!
Hello everyone!
We didn’t just share stories about the lovely inhabitants of the mysterious island for no reason—now, any one of them can become the main character’s beloved partner and loyal ally in the ultimate battle. All you need to do is win her heart and gain her support!
Yes, you heard that right! We’ve added a dating mechanic to our turn-based adventure!
Here’s how it works:
The island is home to many charming ladies, each with her own story, interests, and personality. Any of them could become your sweetheart. After all, every hero deserves a faithful companion, don’t you think?
As you explore the labyrinths, you can find special gifts for each of them. For instance, the sculptress will be thrilled with new pickaxes. Show her that you appreciate and respect her work! The more gifts you give, the stronger her affection will grow.
At the end of the game, you’ll have the chance to receive help from your chosen one (or ones) in the battle against the Lord, and after your victory, you can sail away together from the island back home!
You can choose one girl, all of them, or none at all. Want to remain a proud lone wolf? No one will judge you for that; a choice is a choice! Or perhaps you’re eager to romance all the island’s girls? Go for it! Who are we to judge?
Get ready to dive into a world of love and adventure in Lord Ambermaze!
Add the game to your Wishlist, join our Discord, and leave "hearts" in the comments if you love the new mechanic—and of course, in honor of Valentine’s Day! 💖🏝️
With love, The Lord Ambermaze Team
The Ice Girl, the Digger, and the Loner Witch—More Sad Captives of the Island
Hello everyone!
We continue to introduce you to the heroes of the world of Lord Ambermaze. If you missed the first part, you can find it here. Don’t forget to refresh your memory, because there’s an important question waiting for you at the end of this post!
For now, let us introduce you to the next trio of heroes.
Dee
The Charming Digger. In her past life, her only close companions were her crew. But on the island, Di found herself alone—her team has vanished. In her endless search for her friends, she is driven to madness by the longing and loneliness in the dark dungeons of the Lord.
Ninelle
Before arriving on the island, she faced hatred and malice from those around her. Unable to cope, she became bitter and began to treat others the same way. But somewhere deep in her heart, love still resides. Perhaps you could reach out to her?
Icy
In the outside world, she was cold and indifferent to the feelings of others. She cared for no one but herself. It’s no wonder that on this mystical island, she faces a harsh trial: she constantly feels cold. Even in the lava's heat, she shivers from the chill of her soul. A little compassion and love might help her. Probably.
And now for the question: Which of our game’s heroes do you feel a connection with? Who would you take out on a date for Valentine’s Day?
Best regards, The Lord Ambermaze Team
Meet the Inhabitants of the Mysterious Island
Hello everyone!
We’d like to share a bit about the characters of the Lord Ambermaze, whom our brave hero encounters in various corners of the labyrinth. Just like Zeyn, they all accidentally found themselves on the island and have been its captives for many years. Each of them has their own story, motives, and unique traits.
Varion
In her past life, she was a hero and a respected citizen of his city. But fame blinded her; the sun of her vanity began to shine brighter than the sun of her heart. Money and popularity are now her main values and the meaning of her life. Is there still a place in her heart for something more?
Blu
Charming and talented, but she only uses her talents for personal gain—sometimes at the expense of others. Before arriving on the island, she was determined to get rich at any cost, even resorting to fraudulent actions.
Rufus
He was the most famous sculptor in his city, creating statues of astonishing beauty. However, by dedicating himself entirely to his art, he forgot everything else and ultimately lost it all. On the strange island of Lord Ambermaze, one cannot age or die physically, but it’s all too easy to grow old in spirit…
In our upcoming posts, we’ll introduce you to more inhabitants of the island, as well as new mechanics we’ve devised. Be sure to add Lord Ambermaze to your Wishlist, follow the game’s page, and join our Discord!
Regards, The Lord Ambermaze Team
