🔔 WISHLIST ESCAPE ACADEMY 2! 🔔

Hey there Escapists! We don’t have a traditional devlog for you today, however, keep reading, because we have some exciting stuff coming your way regardless.

We’re Updating Our Demo! 🤩

You heard that right! We’ve been hard at work on Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School since we dropped our demo, and looking back, it’s time for a refresh.

Play the NEW Escape Academy 2 DEMO, available NOW on Steam!

This demo contains the entire FIRST CHAPTER of Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School. Enjoy a preview of this year’s upcoming curriculum right from the start of the game! In this NEW Demo you will:

  • Buy a ticket and take a ride to the enigmatic Escape Academy.

  • Escape from a death-defying introductory course on the Academy’s history.

  • Explore the sights and sounds of the game’s living, breathing open campus

  • Earn Extra Credit from puzzle-stuffed side quests!

  • Rendezvous with Professor Solange atop the school’s mysterious Clocktower in a new, never-before-seen escape room.

  • …and more!

Known Bugs:

There are a few bugs we know of with the demo - if you find any others, a report in our Discord/to our email would be greatly appreciated! At the moment, these are our known issues:

  • Localization has been implemented, but has yet to undergo testing. There may be some broken strings in this build of the demo.

  • We do not have our final version of the Kira Tempest 2D portraits, so while she’s less sketch-y looking than previous versions, her current 2D portrait lacks final shading.

  • The end cutscene is currently unable to be skipped. Sorry, speedrunners!

We’re planning to drop a patch relatively soon to address these issues, as well as any other issues that crop up between now and then. Keep your eyes peeled!
