Late 2 Escape: Chapter One

Late 2 Escape: Chapter One is a story about Michael Salvatore, a father tormented by his daughter Haze’s sudden disappearance. You investigate Haze’s room and collect items that belonged to her, using matches, an axe and other limited supplies to survive.

Light the way

Matches are your main source of light and your only comfort. Use them to ignite candles that reveal hidden symbols and paths or help ward off the darkness. Matches are scarce, so you need to use them carefully.

Michael’s fractured reality

Trauma, guilt and haunting memories distort Michael’s world. The game includes multiple PTSD states, each with disturbing hallucinations, unsettling sounds and psychological effects that blur the line between reality and nightmare. You can find and use a syringe to suppress the symptoms and regain a sense of control, or refuse it and face the consequences as Michael’s mind unravels. As you descend further into his memories, it becomes harder to trust what you see and hear or decide what is real.

Search for key objects

You search the house for hidden items and work out which ones you need to progress. In Haze’s room, an axe is embedded in the wall; it is a movie prop that you must pull free in a first-person cinematic. What begins as an ordinary object becomes something you need to survive.
