Overview

Farthest is a minimalist, top-down puzzle game from developer and publisher Futile, released on October 20, 2026. It takes a real-world endurance challenge—the UK's Jailbreak race, where contestants start with nothing and a fixed time to get as far as possible—and turns it into a maze.

You begin in the center of an endless, procedurally generated labyrinth with empty pockets. The maze builds itself as you explore, so every corridor is a small decision: keep going, turn back, or take a chance on the unknown.

Your score is simply how far from the start you get.

Highlights

  • Endless Procedural Generation: The labyrinth generates as you explore, ensuring no two runs are alike and the maze never runs out.
  • Minimalist 2D Design: With a clean, top-down aesthetic and a 1980s arcade vibe, the game focuses on pure navigation and decision-making.
  • Single-Player with Full Controller Support: Designed for solo play, with full controller support and camera comfort features for a smooth experience.
  • Nonlinear Exploration: There's no set path—every turn is a choice, and the only goal is to maximize distance from the start.

Who It's For

Farthest is ideal for players who enjoy minimalist puzzle games, procedural generation, and the tension of making decisions with limited information. If you like the idea of a roguelike without combat, or if you're drawn to the concept of "how far can you go?"—this is for you.

It's also a great pick for casual gamers who want a relaxing yet thought-provoking experience, and for those who appreciate the retro-inspired aesthetic of the 1980s.
