Description

Following a bizarre cataclysmic event that cracked the moon in half, the Earth is struggling with the environmental fallout. Everything is already dead or dying... except you. Or so you think. Don't Escape: 4 Days to Survive is a post-apocalyptic thriller from veteran developer Scriptwelder, creator of the popular horror series Deep Sleep and Don't Escape. Players must figure out a way to properly fortify their home against each night's new danger, as they learn the truth behind the apocalypse and search for a way to safety, if one exists.


Players will journey alongside David, a lone survivor after the end of the world, who finds himself having prophetic dreams... or nightmares. Each chapter of the game has multiple potential variations to encounter, from poisonous fog or spiders to a gang of murderous thugs or a deadly heat wave, and as a result, you'll need to adjust your strategy on different playthroughs. But you don't have forever. Certain actions advance the in-game clock, and you'll need to complete your preparations to (hopefully) stay alive before night falls.

Will you make it through all four days? Will your companions?


Features:

  • A classic pixelart aesthetic and creepy atmosphere from a veteran of horror and thrillers.
  • Logical puzzles and exploration to challenge players without frustrating them.
  • Time mechanics; certain actions advance the clock in a race against time.
  • A post-apocalyptic thriller, with an engaging storyline and cast.
  • Moody and engrossing original musical score.
  • Multiple variations for each chapter mean multiple playthroughs with new content.

Something a little different

In summary, you have four days, and on each you will have to survive a different scenario; the game randomises them to a degree. On the first three days, you'll have to prepare for an attack of some kind. The last day provides a closure to the story. I wasn't aware of the other "Don't Escape" mini-games from the same designer, so didn't know too much about what to expect. That's no bad thing. Positives: - The puzzles are mostly logical - The pixel art is well done (no breaking form with different resolutions) - There's a gradual revelation of the plot and characters - Some replay value because of the randomised scenarios, and the ending (I won't spoil it) Negatives: - The time limit aspect added little; I never found a situation where I was in danger of running out of time - There are one or two puzzles that require visiting a place you've visited before to pick something new up - but there was no indication that this might happen - I missed some objects because it wasn't obvious what I could interact with - There's no real character development - I'd like to see one of them overcome some challenge and become better for it - Ending is a bit cheesy A great game when on sale.

hints every step of the way

I stopped playing this after 10 minutes. yes the music , graphics , and story is intruging but i cant take a game seriously if your going to tell me how to solve problems. as a adventure gamer the point of the puzzle is to USE your brain.,, this game fails in that it unessasaily gives away far to many hints to solve the game. its almost like saying " hey lets just get this game over with". granted. for novice or casual adventure gamers im sure you will have nothing to complain about. but coming from someone who loves the challenge of games like syberia, myst, and riven., this is an insult.

Very good!

The game doesn't look much but it actually has a brilliant mood and gameplay. The story is also much better than expected.

A great adventure game with a twist or 2

I've followed scriptwelder and his excellent Don't Escape series for a while before purchasing Don't Escape 4 and I am happy to say it lived up to the excellent pedigree of it's predecessors and then some. The point and click gameplay will be familiar to anyone who’s played an adventure game before, but it offers several additions to the tried and true formula that serve to enhance the experience a great deal. • The time management mechanics add a sense of weight and consequence to your decisions, rewarding thought and forward planning rather than random clicking. • A clearly defined central goal for each day (survive!) helps to contextualize the puzzles and cut down on frustrating “adventure game logic.” • The story is immersive and well paced with some beautiful visual storytelling via the game’s fantastic pixel art. • Plenty of engaging puzzles. • A lot more replayability than I was expecting. In conclusion, this game is well worth your time and your money if you are in any way interested in adventure games.
