No ESC

No ESC is a dungeon game where you type commands to move through interconnected rooms and corridors, explore, and find a way out. You can walk, run, crawl, turn, jump, attack and use abilities, while avoiding the monsters that roam the dungeon.

Evade or fight monsters

Each monster behaves differently, so you can avoid it, sneak past it or fight back with weapons or magic. The scarecrow moves quickly but has poor hearing and cannot see well in the dark. The ooze cannot see, but hears every step you take. The ghost sees better in darkness than in light, can pass through walls and is unaffected by weapons.

Search for a way out

Escaping takes more than finding the exit. You search rooms and corridors for clues, collect items such as weapons and magical spellbooks, interact with the environment and solve puzzles scattered throughout the dungeon.

A changing dungeon

Each run generates a new dungeon, changing the layout of its rooms and corridors and the locations of items and monsters.

Scores and leaderboards

At the end of a run, you receive a score based on your completion time and difficulty mode. Global leaderboards let you compare scores with other players and your Steam friends.
