EscapeSimulator

EscapeSimulator is a physical escape game in which you are tied to a wooden chair in a cold concrete dungeon. You manipulate the chair’s four legs to move and survive, balancing your way through seven levels.

Control the chair

Each leg is controlled separately: Q, E, A and D correspond to legs 7, 9, 1 and 3. Holding a key supports the chair on one leg while lifting the other three. You move by rotating the chair: the left button turns it counterclockwise and the right button turns it clockwise, using the point where its legs touch the ground as the axis. When several legs are on the ground, you swing forward around the pivot point.

Radiation-pattern checkpoints save your progress when their bars fill, setting new respawn coordinates. If you fall or make a mistake, holding R for 2 seconds resets you to full health.

Seven levels

The levels progress from a flat warehouse to a kidnapper’s lair, testing your balance across different terrain and obstacles:

• Starting on flat ground and learning the basic swing.
• Bypassing right-angle bends and deep pit traps.
• Crossing slopes where the chair can tip over.
• Adjusting your center of gravity across convex terrain.
• Leaping over high-low platforms.

Style and sound

The game uses a low-polygon realistic style with retro film noise and highly saturated colors. Sparks from chair-leg friction stand out in dark scenes, while each shake brings metal groans and rapid breathing. A faint light outside the finish-line door marks the end of each solitary escape.
