Silent Maze is a relentless horror endless runner where every turn could be your last. Trapped in an ever-shifting labyrinth, you must outrun and outmaneuver horrifying entities that stalk your every move. Choose from seven terrifying maze maps, each with its own eerie atmosphere, from the dimly lit corridors of an abandoned SCP facility to the endless, decayed hallways of the Backrooms—where reality itself feels unstable. And just when you think you’ve seen it all, prehistoric nightmares awaken in the form of rampaging dinosaurs, adding yet another layer of terror. Your only hope for survival lies in quick reflexes and strategic use of tools. A high-powered plasma weapon lets you slow down the creatures chasing you, but it won’t stop them for long. Power-ups give you brief bursts of speed, but in these mazes, speed alone may not be enough. The deeper you run, the more aggressive and intelligent your pursuers become—some may even start anticipating your moves. The sounds of heavy breathing, distant screeches, and guttural growls echo through the corridors, keeping you on edge. The lights flicker unpredictably, and shadowy figures dart just out of sight, ensuring that fear is your constant companion. Your footsteps may not be the only ones you hear—sometimes, something is running right behind you. This game contains elements from the SCP Foundation, licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Slender Mania at none against Silent Maze's 9. Slender Mania also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.1 vs 3.7). Silent Maze's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (29 vs 9). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Slender Mania holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 29 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Slender Mania's written reviews are positive against 23% of Silent Maze's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Slender Mania ships an update every 4 months, Silent Maze every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
