The Escapists: The Walking Dead

The Escapists: The Walking Dead combines The Escapists with The Walking Dead in an 8-bit pixel art style. You play as Rick Grimes, leading a group of survivors against hordes of walkers and trying to find a safe escape route from each area while completing dangerous tasks to keep as many people alive as possible.

Story and locations

The game follows the timeline of the comics. Rick first fights his way out of Harrison Memorial Hospital, then visits the Greene family farm before reaching places such as Meriwether Correctional Facility and Woodbury. The game includes five locations from The Walking Dead story, including Meriwether County Correctional Facility, Woodbury and Alexandria.

Rick leads survivors including comic characters Maggie, Hershel, Glenn and Michonne. You can interact with characters from the comics and recruit them to help with important tasks.

Survive together

You and the survivors need to keep up your daily routines to maintain morale. Use your wits and your companions to fend off hordes of hungry walkers, and use firearms—which you can craft or discover—to keep them at bay.

Crafting and challenges

You can choose from over 200 items to make more than 70 tools or weapons. The game also includes achievements to find by checking desks and rooms, and leaderboards that track the fastest level completions.
