Fixes & Improvements:

  • Fixed a bug not showing the loaded options,

  • Fixed an issue with the back button on escape,

  • Fixed Achievement "Vented",

  • Fixed Achievement "Battered" and related hint,

  • Fixed a bug with Volume Sliders

  • Fixed a bug with Steam Overlay Pause

New:

  • Added new Minigame: Samuel Says, unlocked at Victim 25,

  • Added Localization for German(DE) and French(FR), Voice+Text,

  • Added Progression System! (This resets all players to Victim 1),

  • Added Steam Leaderboard for escapes,

Samuel Says

In the new progression system you will be able to unlock rooms as you keep trying to escape. While some of the previous rooms are gradually unlocked again, there is also a new room and minigame further down the line: Samuel Says. You get a sequence of colors and tunes to match - take too long or press the wrong button, and you'll end up a smear on the ground!

Details about the Progression System

Since we introduce the new Progression System, all Victims will be reset to 1 in this patch. From then on, you can see at what point you get some goodies to give you extra chances if you die. You get some unlocks by default, while picking one of the others. The picked bonus will only last for this run though! Unlocked rooms go into a pool of all unlocked rooms from then on, if you don't get the new one right away don't fret.

In case you manage to escape, you get a large selection of boni for your next run, so you can try to find other means of escape, regardless of your current attempts. We also are adding a Steam Leaderboard that will keep track of your best escape time!
