## About Escape Simulator

Escape Simulator is a 2021 first-person puzzle game developed and published by Pine Studio. Players can experience the escape rooms solo or through online co-op, with a full level editor enabling the creation and sharing of custom rooms through a community workshop. The game features procedurally generated puzzles, hint systems for when players get stuck, and highly interactive environments where objects can be moved, examined, and manipulated. Reviewers describe the puzzle design as setting a standard for the genre, with atmospheric rooms and portal-like logic that players find challenging yet contemplative. The game holds a 96% positive rating from over 8,800 Steam reviews, is verified on Steam Deck, and is priced at $19.99.
