'''Steady Hand''' (まぢいらいら某 maji iraira bō<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/translator/comments/ijip9x/japanese_english_message_from_a_japanese_flash/</ref>) 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.<ref><nowiki>http://www.fortress-forever.com/forums/showthread.php?t=772&styleid=1</nowiki></ref> 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.

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 [[Wikipedia:Deathrealm|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]].

~~There~~ was an unofficial English version of ''Steady Hand'' ~~in 2005~~ titled ''Tiny Dot Maze'', ~~which features~~ a different menu screen, the "Game Over" ~~screen~~ being ~~changed into~~ "DAMN!" ~~and nothing much else~~. The website ~~for it claims~~ to reward anyone who ~~passes through~~ Level 10 with $100~~. However~~, ~~an image of~~ [[Hai2u]] ~~appears along with~~ a puking sound ~~instead~~. ~~The screamer appears after~~ the ~~player dies~~, ~~rather than~~ just before the end ~~as in the original. Once the [[screamer]] is over~~, the ~~screamer will redirects~~ the player to ~~the~~ page ~~called~~ "results.php", which ~~has some text that saying~~ "Whoops looks like our maze is a little buggy!!" ~~(unlike~~ the other ~~fake websites that lies about their stuff that is a little buggy~~ such as [[PhoneTrace.org|PhoneTrace]] and [[MedicalTracer.com|MedicalTracer]] which ~~shows up~~ after ~~the~~ shocking content ~~is over.) along with a hyperlink button that let's the player to play the game again~~.

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 site|shock sites]] such as [[PhoneTrace.org|PhoneTrace]] and [[MedicalTracer.com|MedicalTracer]], which provide the same misleading explanations about their site being "buggy" after its shocking content appears.
