Faint is an interesting concept. At the start of a level, you're shown a maze that you have to navigate through to the exit. Except it's not that simple. After a few seconds, everything in the level becomes invisible. Hope you memorized the layout while you could see it.

The maze is full of hazards, some of which will take health or kill you instantly. Some will send you back to the start of the level, but mercifully make it visible for a few frames. There's even an item that gives you a few seconds of full visibility!

There's only one issue: the thing is maybe a bit too cruel. The level scrolls around the player, so even if your memory is great it's still hard to figure out where certain things are. There's places where you can get a key then get killed and have to backtrack, hoping you don't step on a skull or a hole.

There's one other plus side: some of the level layouts are pretty cool, and the object graphics look about as good as you can fit in an 8x14 space. Minimal sound (PC speaker) and no music, which is kinda fitting.

I recommend playing it because it's creative and a neat concept, but I don't recommend trying to beat it unless your threshold for frustration is very high.
