Palworld player’s elaborate maze brings out the worst in others

A Palworld player took the time to show off a winding labyrinth they worked really hard on. Other Pal Tamers immediately began thinking up ways to torture Pals with it.

Palworld players are a creative bunch. It’s probably why they’re so drawn to the game given that it has a degree of ingenuity baked into its core gameplay loop.

Sometimes that creativity comes in the form of nifty exploits that increase productivity. Other times, it’s marvels of engineering and towering megastructures.

Recently, one of the latter has brought out the inner psychopath that lurks within every Palworld player. Reddit user u/NinjaDood showed off an expertly crafted maze and people’s first instinct was to come up with ways it could be used for malice.

Palworld has some pathing issues on the best of days and we can hardly imagine the distress of poor little Pals trying to make their way through this beast. Luckily, u/NinjaDood’s intent is for players on their server to tackle the maze.

They even made sure to build it so that you could discover hidden chests along the way. That hasn’t stopped other Palworld players from adding their own ideas for improvements like building one around a world boss.

Not all the improvements are for the benefit of players though a bunch of Pal Tamers gave their two cents on how the maze could be used to psychologically abuse their Pals. You know, Palworld stuff.

“You should put the workstations on one end and the pal beds on the other,” suggested one sadistic Pal Tamer. “I’m sure your pals would love the adventure of getting to and off work.”

Do you really want to deprive your pals of the opportunity to work?

We can only imagine the horror of adorable little Pals unable to find their way to food or sleep. Sanity meters slowly draining as they lose their tiny minds. What kind of sick people would think of that?

Now if you’ll excuse us, we have to get back to our work camp so we can butcher the slow ones.
