    How 2 Escape is an asymmetrical simulation experience for two players that requires them to cooperate in order to survive a perilous situation. The game uses two different devices: a PC and a mobile device. The player on the PC is trapped inside a train. Interacting with the elements in the wagon and solving puzzles is necessary to escape from the moving prison. It's impossible to do it without help from outside. Fortunately, a second player who can be contacted via phone has information that will turn out to be vital to completing the final goal: reaching the locomotive and pulling a lever that will stop it, allowing the trapped passenger to escape from the train.

    To play How 2 Escape, the second player needs to download a dedicated free companion app that contains all the tools to help their companion from the game's website. Communication and wits are the keys to successfully finishing this unique escape-room-style experience for two players.

    FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

    Can both players see the same information on their respective screens at all times?
    No. The core gameplay loop requires each player to have unique visual and auditory information that the other player lacks, necessitating constant communication.
    If I am playing the game on a single device, can I simply hand the device back and forth to my partner?
    No. The game is designed for two separate devices, as it relies on each player having a distinct perspective and set of controls simultaneously.
    Does the game offer any form of in-game hints or a 'solution' guide to progress through the puzzles?
    No. Success relies entirely on effective communication and interpretation of the clues provided on each player's screen, without any automated assistance.
    Are all puzzle elements and clues presented in a static manner, or do they dynamically change based on player actions?
    Some elements are dynamically updated in real-time based on the actions taken by both players, demanding close coordination and prompt information exchange.
    How crucial is the real-time element in the gameplay, and what happens if communication is delayed?
    The game heavily relies on real-time communication. Delays can lead to misinterpretations and failures, as some actions must be synchronized perfectly.
    Does the game support any built-in voice chat, or do players need a separate communication channel?
    The game does not have built-in voice chat. Players must use an external communication method, such as a phone call or a separate voice chat application.
    Can players replay the same level, and will the puzzles remain identical?
    Yes, players can replay levels. However, while the core puzzles stay the same, the experience might differ slightly due to the randomized or dynamic elements.
    How are the actions of one player reflected in the other player's environment and vice versa?
    The core mechanic involves actions having direct and often immediate effects on the other player's view or the state of their puzzle elements, necessitating precise information exchange.
    If one player is stuck, can the other player progress alone to help later?
    No. Progress is contingent on the actions and information available to both players. One player cannot advance significantly without the other's collaboration.
    Does the game offer different difficulty levels that affect the puzzle complexity?
    The game doesn't have explicit difficulty levels but the complexity arises from how well you and your partner exchange information and solve the puzzles together.
