Escape the Playground

Six creatures, six rules: what hunts you in the maze

AnotherBuild

Escape the Playground is a 1-4 player online co-op horror game with proximity voice chat, $7.99 on Steam, and it's part of Steam Scream Fest starting October 26. Every creature in the maze plays by a different rule, and you have to learn them or die trying:

  • The tall one tracks sound and cuts you off.
  • The still one only moves in the gaps between glances.
  • The ghost follows flashlight beams through solid walls: kill the light or burn it with the beam.
  • The seeker counts to ten and multiplies.
  • Musical chairs plays for keeps.
  • And one of them is listening right now, through your microphone, waiting for someone to whisper "where are you."

Keys rise as pillars of light above the maze. Grab them, open the gate, and run for the giant playhouse before it locks. Get caught and you wake up in a cage: a timed escape or a rescue from a friend, not a death screen. Caught players become poltergeists who can flicker lights and shove objects, helping or haunting.
