Steady Hand (まぢいらいら某 maji iraira bō) also known as Japanese Scary Maze is a screamer flash game possibly made in early 2004. Unlike most screamers, the origin of this game remains unknown, but the earliest mention of this screamer was from a bulletin board forum for the game Fortress Forever, which featured a link to the screamer hosted from the site flabber.nl in the fall of 2004. Shortly after, a flash website Albino Blacksheep also featured the screamer in November 2004. This was one of the earliest maze games to date; being released earlier than The Maze itself.

Gameplay

The main menu features the Japanese title "まぢいらいら某" which translates as: "Steady Hand (Madji iraraibo)" and text below the title "STARTを押すとすぐに始まります作りが雑ですいません" which translates from Japanese to English into "game will start immediately after you press START".

The gameplay is to guide a dot through the maze surrounded by thin walls and to reach its end. The player advanced to the next level after reaching and clicking that "G O A L" button. Once before the player reaches the end of Level 2, a black and white portrait of a baby wearing a sheep costume (doing the harlequin fetus pose from Deathrealm's magazine cover) appears in a solid red background, accompanied by a loud roar. The audio for the screamer was also used in Zoeken.

In 2005, there was an unofficial English version of Steady Hand titled Tiny Dot Maze. This version featured minor changes, such as a different menu screen and the "Game Over" message being replaced with "DAMN!". The game's website claimed to reward anyone who completed the supposed "Level 10" with $100, however, upon reaching the end, the player was instead greeted with the Hai2u image accompanied by a puking sound. Unlike the original, where the screamer appeared just before the end, this version displays the image after the player dies. Afterwards, players are redirected to a page titled "results.php", which displays a message stating "Whoops looks like our maze is a little buggy!!" along with a hyperlink allowing the viewer to replay the game. This site has similarities with other shock sites such as PhoneTrace and MedicalTracer, which provide the same misleading explanations about their site being "buggy" after its shocking content appears.
