The Hidden Vault

A treasure map leads to a hidden vault beneath the city, but the entrance is guarded by traps and puzzles designed by a paranoid architect. Navigate the deadly maze, solve the architect's riddles, and claim the treasure—if you can avoid becoming another victim of the vault's defenses.
