Don't Escape (Video Game)	comment	Don't Escape is a series of Point-and-Click Web Games by developer scriptwelder, creator of the Deep Sleep Trilogy.The series takes the typical Room Escape Game premise and turns it on its head: rather than trying to escape from a mysterious room, in each game you must work to secure the room you start in, preventing yourself from getting out and/or anything else from getting in. The games are also unusual in that each one, aside from the first, operates on a time limit, with certain actions consuming in-game time, and you must complete your goal before it's too late.The first game, simply titled Don't Escape, stays closest to the original room escape formula. You Wake Up in a Room, except in this case, you play as a werewolf who must barricade every possible exit out of the room before you turn into a werewolf and potentially kill innocent people.Don't Escape 2 takes place After the End, with your goal being to prevent a horde of zombies from breaking in. But you only have 8 hours to do so.Don't Escape 3 takes place on a spaceship where the entire crew is dead. You must find out what happened to the crew and prevent it from getting to you as well. The only issue is, life support has been disabled and there's only 1 hour of oxygen leftâ€¦A fourth game entitled Don't Escape: 4 Days to Survive (formerly Don't Escape: 4 Days in a Wasteland) was released on March 11th, 2019, and was the first commercial game in the series. A cataclysmic event has caused the moon to split in half, and you must make preparations to survive before some unknown terror gets you. It expands heavily on the gameplay of the first three, taking place over 4 days as opposed to one and featuring a new countdown and new obstacles on each day.On Jul 29, 2019, Don't Escape Trilogy was released, taking the first three games in the series and bundling them together, complete with an auto-save feature for both the second and third games, as well as Steam achievements for all of them.

Don't Escape (Video Game) / int_19d06ef7	comment	In Night 3's bandit event, David can poison their food supplies. While this seems like a more efficient way of dealing with the problem, the game warns that the action is immoral. This is because one of the poisoned bandits happens to be a member of Sarge's squad. This causes Sarge to remain with the bandits, even if he was already convinced to leave them.

Don't Escape (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77	type	Multiple Endings
Don't Escape (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77	comment	Multiple Endings: Each night can have multiple outcomes; a perfect night where the danger doesn't even make it indoors gives you +5 kg to carrying capacity from a full night's sleep, a good night where the problem was swiftly dealt with as soon as it made it indoors has no disadvantages, a problematic night which usually results in either a character being killed off or time/resources being lost, or a failed night where your defenses are overrun and everyone dies, which results in a game over. The ending of the game can also have variations depending on how many survivors you have left, but what really changes the ending is how many of the floppy disks you managed to recover. With no floppy disks, David and the others forget everything and have to repeat the events of the entire game. With one floppy disk, the events repeat again, but this time, David can remember enough to save both Barry and Cody. With two floppy disks (which is only possible on Awakened Mode), the Golden Ending is unlocked where everyone can escape the lunar explosion timeline. The Golden Ending cutscene itself is also subject to how many survivors you have after landing on the Moon, with each person missing being absent. This requires you to start losing survivors by Night 3 onwards, as Cody and Barry are required in the day to retrieve both disks. In fact, it's entirely possible to end the game with just David making it.

Don't Escape (Video Game) / int_1e584efa	comment	Cruel and Unusual Death: In the first game, if your preparations are inadequate and you break free, you will be cornered by a band of werewolf hunters and killed. Plus the way it describes the werewolf killing villagers, by partly eating some of them alive. The second game applies: from the descriptions of you, Jeremy, or Father Bernard in any of the game over endings, being eaten alive is as cruel and unusual as it gets. From the third game, being consumed from the inside out by parasitic crystals is a pretty bad way to go, too. A majority of the deaths in the fourth game count as well, yet subverted on Day 4, should you mess up either disaster or run out of time, as it'll mention the death was at least 'swift'.

It will explain the purpose of the pods on the moon base along with a farewell to David. It is not possible to see this note unless Catherine dies.

Don't Escape (Video Game) / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
Don't Escape (Video Game) / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: The painting in the house depicts the hut that was in the first Don't Escape. Cody's dream of dozens of zombies and him suggesting that the group should prepare for them is a nod to Don't Escape 2's threat. Likewise, the painting in Barry's house depicts a lighthouse along a shoreline, a nod to Deep Sleep. During the third night in Awakening mode, if you go up the stairs and talk to either Maggie or Cody's tiger plush, you will eventually be chased by the shadow creature from the Deep Sleep series, one of scriptwelder's earlier games. Cody's tiger plush model is shared with the tiger plush from Deeper Sleep, and it's very likely Cody from this game is the same Cody who was reported in the newspaper at the end of Deeper Sleep. The Sidereal Plexus archive has a list of dimensions that mustn't be visited for any reason, including the worlds of the first two games (stuck in a medieval state and plagued by a "rage virus", respectively) and the real world (where Sidereal was never established).

Using it on the generator only takes out a few zombies, while using it on the car makes trips much faster. The only time the generator is useful is if you go for the "Lone Wolf" ending, in which you don't have time to set up a trap in the front yard and thus the 5 extra zombies that the generator kills can be the difference between surviving the night or not.

The fourth game has an inventory cap based on the items' weight and number of inventory slots, although you can still carry up to 30 kg (which increases if you manage to reduce the threat level to 0 on any night) without any obvious side effects (although trying to cross the ravine or climb anything when your inventory is nearly full will take longer).

Don't Escape (Video Game) / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
Don't Escape (Video Game) / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Night 1's crises (locusts, spiders, and toxic gas) involve using the correct type of barriers for the windows. The plastic sheets will seal the house against poisonous gas, but are too weak to hold against spiders and locusts. The iron bars are strong enough to stop large spiders, but locusts and gas can go through their large gaps. The nets are too weak to stop spiders and too porous to block gas, but perfect against large numbers of locusts. If you show Barry his wife's locket, which requires breaking into his house and looting the corpse of his wife, he'll quite reasonably freak out and threaten you. It's only after a lot of convincing and gun-waving to get him to read the note that was inside the locket and back down. Turns out, pissing off a guy you just met and has nothing left to lose is a potentially fatal mistake for somebody involved. In Night 3's bandit event, David can poison their food supplies. While this seems like a more efficient way of dealing with the problem, the game warns that the action is immoral. This is because one of the poisoned bandits happens to be a member of Sarge's squad. This causes Sarge to remain with the bandits, even if he was already convinced to leave them. In the Thunderstorm Scenario, it's possible to get 100% without securing the tarp to the house. Failure to do so will still result in an imperfect night, as the giant gaping hole in the house's roof still lets the water in.

In the second game, any ending where you survive counts. Bill can't be saved â€” either you end his suffering by killing him, or he turns into a zombie. Even if you save everyone you can, the zombie apocalypse has not ended, and you and your crew must carry on with survival in any possible way. In the third game, when you find out that you have the crystals growing inside you and blow yourself up with the ship. Sure, you're dead, but the crystals are destroyed and you may have just saved the galaxy from a horrible fate. In 4 Days to Survive, after making it to the moon base, David and the remaining survivors (if any are left) find the sleeping pods containing the Sidereal Plexus evacuees whose minds have already fled the dimension. However, the leftover pods are unable to transfer memories properly and when David uses the pod, he wakes up in the tent he started at the beginning of the game, dooming him to repeat the events of the game again. However, if you manage to find either the MEM BOOST or PHASE CTRL LITE floppy disk, then you unlock Awakened Mode to start the path for the Golden Ending.

Don't Escape (Video Game) / int_5049f19d	type	Do Well, But Not Perfect
Don't Escape (Video Game) / int_5049f19d	comment	Do Well, But Not Perfect: On the first two nights, it is not necessary to do everything that can reduce the threat level of that day's danger to get it down to 0, because there are more options than necessary, which gives you a lot of leeway for dealing with the threats or collecting items to deal with future ones. This is perhaps most notably seen in the heat path on night 2, where spending the night in the cave instead of the house is optional despite the big reduction it offers. It is even lampshaded in the end of night review for a perfect run ("You didn't even need to put on the hazmat suit/drink the water/put on the jacket"). Nights 3 & 4, however, leave almost no room for error if you are aiming for the Golden Endingnote There's generally only one extra action that you can perform on Night 3, allowing you to get away with skipping just one thing in order to get the best result, but Night 4 has exactly 5 things that you must do to get the perfect ending, and if you don't do all of them, someone will die. Although if you reduce the threat to 0%, but not before it gets into the house, you don't get the same result as a perfect day. For instance, it's possible to reduce the damage from the acid rain on day 3 by blocking the doors with towels and doing everything else except dig the ditches, but you won't get the bonus carrying capacity from a perfect day. The reasoning being that while you were protected from the event, the house was damaged instead and that implies that you were too stressed out to get proper sleep. In order to get one of the achievements (Lone Wolf), you have to practice this, by either not taking Cody and Barry or getting them killed, and by intentionally neglecting to completely fix the spaceship so Cate dies on the last day.

Don't Escape (Video Game) / int_6b2b3b59	comment	The Reveal: Cate's full name is Catherine Mayweather and she was a pilot for Sidereal Plexus. The space station is on the moon, not floating in space. Also, the escape is less about physically being safe and just transferring consciousness to a different dimension. There was never any Helium-3 on the moon - Sidereal Plexus just needed a cover for their lunar experiment. On a related note, they've conducted the experiment at least thirty-two times prior to the first playthrough, destroying the world each time and transferring their crucial staff's consciousnesses to another dimension in the aftermath.

Don't Escape (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8	comment	Guide Dang It!: Several actions in the game require speaking to your companions to enable the action, which isn't immediately apparent at first glance since dialog with companions up to this point is mere exposition. The game only registers a perfect night if none of the threats make it into your home. This means that whenever "x of y were stopped" comes up, you must stop all of the threats, as your further defenses do not compensate for those that already made it in. This also throws you a curve ball on the Acid Rain Scenario of Night 3, as even if you manage to get the meter down to 0, the rain will enter the house if you didn't tape and secure the tarp on the helicopter hole.

One mistake and you're zombie chow. Even in the best possible outcome under these circumstances, the zombies will eventually breach your defenses, requiring you to fight the last of them at close quarters (which you need not do if you get help), and the game allows just barely enough resources to do this, meaning you're still zombie chow if you so much as missed a bullet.

Don't Escape (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: There are several moments which foreshadow the truth about the murders: The Jump Scares such as briefly seeing the spacesuited murderer in the airlock and the giant eye in the window on the bridge are implied to be an effect of being possessed by the crystal. When you take the knife from the body of one of your dead crewmates, the screen flashes red and you hear a scream, which appears to be intended as a flashback to the murder. If you try to look in the mirror in the bathroom, you smash it and say that for some reason, you can't bear to look at yourself. The data pad also only says there is a "possible" intruder alert â€” since, of course, the killer technically isn't an intruder. Examining the crystals in the lab results in the protagonist commenting that they feel "really uneasy and tense". This is probably because the crystal is trying to steer you away from uncovering how to destroy it. Looking at Dr. Grodberg's corpse yields a remark that the crystal is seemingly growing out of her flesh. When the truth of the murders is revealed, your character immediately coughs up a chunk of bloodied crystal.

Most of these actions consume small amounts of time (mixing ingredients, digging traps, etc.), while others extend the limit. Moving from room to room doesn't consume any time, though in the second game as you move from different locations (even with a car it's reduced to a few minutes).

It may even understand how to strategize and plan ahead Explanation The Captain's dialogue indicates he was killed before he could send the distress signal, and all the other crew members were dead by that point. This implies that the crystal directed the lieutenant to send it, presumably with the intention of luring in more hosts for it to reproduce through now that those aboard the ship are dead. Sabotaging the life support, navigation, and communication systems before forcing the current host to airlock themself would then prevent any chance of the mystery being solved before the crystal was already aboard and reproducing in the rescue ship, thereby ensuring its survival in the long term..

Don't Escape (Video Game) / int_fc225bec	type	Artistic License – Physics
Don't Escape (Video Game) / int_fc225bec	comment	Artistic License â€“ Physics The moon is one of the biggest celestial bodies in the solar system, at least in comparison to other satellites. It would be incredibly unlikely to crack the moon apart with mining by accident. Furthermore, the resource they are stated to be mining for, Helium-3, is deposited on the moon via solar radiation. The majority of it would be locked up near the surface of the moon. Cracking the moon all the way through shouldn't even be possible with surface mining. Of course, the stated reason for the mining could be and is a lie. However, simply cracking the moon apart wouldn't cause it to fall back to Earth regardless unless some force slowed its orbital velocity, though such a force is confirmed to have happened. Additionally, regardless of whether or not the moon was cracked open (especially if the moon was cracked open,) it would inevitably break up into a ring upon hitting the Roche limit. It's likely by the time of the game the moon would have already hit the Roche limit and broken up. In either case there would still be an apocalypse, and the aftermath would still be pretty disastrous (albeit survivable.)

Sarge will recognize that David was responsible and refuse to leave. Overall, this is a net loss to reducing the bandits' threat for the night. If David convinces Sarge to leave, Sarge will take his four men with him, reducing the bandits' numbers by five (excluding two drunken bandits), but if David poisons the bandits, only three bandits are reduced because Sarge and his men will not leave (four if you spend one of your bullets to kill Sarge before he leaves the gas station).
