About Forbidden Escape

This game requires a controller. We are in the middle of the ocean. Forbidden Escape is a 3rd person puzzle-solving and combat game that mixes supernatural clashes and platforming, on a tanker kept secret from the rest of the world, where scientists experiment on child guinea pigs to harness the supernatural effects of an artifact found at the bottom of the sea. After nearly a decade of research, something goes wrong and the artifact explodes, spreading an encroaching corruption throughout the entire ship and infecting all of its passengers.

You play as Riley, a young guinea pig who seems to be the only one to have survived the infection. Escape the tanker and discover the new powers that lie dormant within you.
Explore the various levels of Exodus in linear levels and follow Riley's interesting encounter with Inspeca, the Alien Artifact, as she attempts to escape the only home she has ever known.
Characteristics
  • Embark on this supernatural adventure - escape from a secret ship, sinking in the middle of the ocean, while fending off any danger that crosses your path.
  • Platforming - test your agility through perilous paths that will put your skills to the test.
  • Puzzle solving - exercise your brain with challenging and interesting puzzles that force you to use all the resources at your disposal.
  • Brutal Combat - unlock new supernatural abilities to aid you in battles against humans now transformed by the corruption of the artifact.
  • Atmosphere and touching narration - the loneliness seems heavy in this sinking ship as the artifact quietly takes possession of what was once your only home. Find your changed friends and try to free them from this unprecedented infection.
This original product was entirely developed by nearly thirty students of the 2021-2022 cohort of the Campus ADN, a public videogame school in downtown Montreal, as part of a 15-week end-of-study production project under the supervision of around ten industry professionals.

This game features game-breaking glitches and does not save your progress often enough, an awful combination. I gave up after encountering two such glitches b/c this game is barely worth playing in the first place and not at all worth playing if you're forced to redo large sections of the game. It's also janky AF.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
