✦ AI summary

The Escape suffers from significant technical issues that undermine its potential, with players consistently reporting UI bugs like resolution settings getting stuck on screen, frequent disconnections when playing with friends, and collision detection problems that trap players in level geometry. While some players appreciate the core hide-and-seek gameplay and note the developers are responsive, the overwhelming consensus is that the numerous bugs make the game frustrating and not worth playing in its current state.

I want this game to Escape my library. (Joke credit to my friend: Awake). - Game starts in 640 x 480 and the buttons go out of place of the text. So that's annoying to click through. - The resolution options take 10 years to scroll down, and by the time I get my res my finger has died. Oh, and the ends of the res numbers are cut off, much like I want my finger to be. - 1st time playing, got disconnected at 52 minutes. - 2nd time playing, got stuck in a office booth by a chair and the side wall of booth. Had to restart. - 3rd time playing, Options and video settings got stuck on screen while I could still play. Couldn't undo it, was matrix of damn options and the game screen went dark automatically because it assumed I was changing the bloody settings. After 5 minutes of clicking I un-glitched it and said "Ayyy I fixed it" and then we got DISCONNECTED. Great game if you're blind, a double arm amputee, have immobility syndrome or are dead.

Quite a few bugs: Got stuck in the video settings while in game with the apply/back buttons not working. Kept getting disconnected from friends game. Resolution in video settings takes a year to scroll through? Got stuck in a desk in one of the offices.

This is probably one of the worse games I've play even for £2.59 sale price. Not fun at all, really buggy even for a beta. I've played better ZX Spectrum games to be honest. Avoid Big time...

I find this game to be very fun. There are some bugs, but the game has major potential to be something great. The devs are nice and helpful when a problem came, up if there team was bigger and had more funding this game could be a hit in no time, I'm choosing to continue supporting and hope for the best out of the Escape Dev Team to keep up the goo work
