Take a moment to envision a typical escape room. You walk into a building, get passed a scenario with a set of instructions, and get immersed in a fantasy world where you're working against the clock. The only way to win your scenario is through lateral thinking, deductive reasoning, quick reflexes, and cooperation. Many of those same principles are at work in Escape Simulator, the debut title from Coin Crew Games and the first published title from the team at iam8bit. Shacknews was recently locked in a room with only our wits to carry us through and I'm happy to say that, so far, Escape Academy appears to capture the spirit of the average escape room.
First revealed in mid-March, Escape Academy's premise is a simple one. Players are enrolled in the titular institution, Escape Academy, where the object is to learn the finer points of escape artistry. In many ways, it feels like a digital version of the live activity. Naturally, there are a few elements of Escape Academy that are adjusted to fit the "video game" medium. In the case of this first-person title, many of the puzzles will involve deadly "memory-erasing" gas being flooded into the chamber. Those who don't complete their puzzles in time will die, so it's imperative to move fast.
