After two years of development, we’re excited to give you a first hands-on look at Escape Simulator 2.

Watch the new gameplay trailer:
The demo includes the tutorial and the Courtyard – the first room from the Dracula’s Castle level. It shows the new direction we’re taking with the sequel: more atmospheric, more detailed, and bigger in scale. The tone is darker and more mysterious, but it’s not a horror game – it’s about immersion, exploration, and clever puzzles.

Play solo or in co-op with up to 8 players. Drop-in multiplayer is now supported, so your friends can join or leave without restarting the session. There’s also auto-saving, meaning progress is saved as you go – no need to finish everything in one sitting.

This is an early alpha version, so you may encounter bugs or performance issues. Thank you for your understanding – we’re working hard to improve every aspect of the game.

Escape Simulator 2 is our biggest leap yet – with a rebuilt engine, deeper mechanics, and an upgraded visual experience. Your feedback during this stage is incredibly valuable. We’re listening, so feel free to leave a comment, join our Discord[discord.gg], or reach out via our socials[linktr.ee]!
