The game drops you into the boots of an unnamed Westworld host. It offers 3 levels, with 60 storylines, and 400 unique choices. And if you know the right questions to ask, and to whom, you might make it to the center of The Maze.

While the game only has about 2 hours of gameplay, and can be beaten in roughly 20 minutes, that doesn’t mean they’ll be making it easy on you.
