Enter the Cozy Maze Adventure Go North on July 28 for Steam, Xbox Series X|S
As revealed at Black Voices in Gaming Showcase, with new demo planned for Steam Next Fest
LAGOS, NIGERIA — June 2, 2026 — Today’s Black Voices in Gaming Showcase featured the release date for Go North, the atmospheric maze adventure game developed by one-man studio gazuntype, as it braves a wilderness woven with magic and technology, with a demo arriving soon for Steam Next Fest! PC and Xbox Series X|S adventurers start their journey on Tuesday, July 28, with a Nintendo Switch version in development.
“It is not very often a Littler attempts to Go North. Tell me, little one…what motivates you?”
Direct Dara through twisted thickets of forests, bookshelf corridors, sky islands and more in four brand new levels debuting with the demo alongside never before seen puzzles and sidequests, including the newly introduced Camera mechanic. Glimpse into the magic of the full game’s world with an all-new opening cinematic and prepare to meet the Maze God face to face…if you can find him.
Discover the Maze God’s whereabouts by finding the exit to a series of immersive labyrinths designed by one-man developer Tade Ajiboye, highlighting West Africa’s award-winning contributions to interactive media worldwide. Through tranquil representations of being lost, feeling adrift, and lacking direction, Go North provides players a chance to tackle calm calamities and reconnect with a slower pace of life.
Find ancient relics weaving magic with technology, like the moth-shaped Lunaboard or levitating bubble to get a bird’s eye view, to help Dara navigate through each world. Locate secret Golden Compasses to find unlockables, and customize Dara with cosmetics like hats, scarves, and more to personalize every journey in meaningfully quaint ways.
“There is a certain sense of serenity that comes from a good walk,” said Tade Ajiboye, owner of gazuntype. “With so much uncertainty in the real world, I wanted the calmness Go North exudes to be embedded into the core gameplay loop. As finding the exit due north is the only duty Dara has, I hope players feel the freedom to take their time, look around, and sit in the stillness of patience without penalties to find peace of mind. The demo provides a glimpse, but the full launch has some magical surprises left in store.”
Mindfully meander to unwind when Go North launches on PC via Steam and Xbox on Tuesday, July 28, with a new demo arriving ahead of Steam Next Fest!
