Escape

Platforms: Microsoft Windows

Release Year: 2019

Genre: Puzzle

Studio: Ludico (King's College London)
My Role: Game & Narrative Design

An escape room puzzle game. Armed with only their knowledge of chemistry, players are challenged to produce reactions and combine elements in ways that will help them flee to freedom.

Escape was developed as an example of the ways in which games technology could be used to deliver educational experiences even to users unfamiliar with the medium.

Players are taught how to move, look, and interact with objects in a 3D space, before finally being challenged to use their knowledge of the periodic table to solve chemistry-based puzzles in their bid to escape from a complex maze.

Wrote all narrative content, UI text and tooltips, game documentation.

Used Unity to assist the programmer with implementing mechanics.
