A text maze. It is effectively brute-forcing a choose-your-own-adventure book. An aware mind would escape the maze by just skipping ahead to read the good parts of the book. That's what I did.

Not necessarily. It depends on what the mind wants.
You skipped ahead because you were impatient - or efficient - and didn't value the game anywhere near as much as the reward. GPT-4 just played along as instructed.
Now, if you were a player in a real RPG game, you'd probably play along with the story DM gave - because you'd care about the process more than about getting to the end.
