I too am running Windows 8.1 and am having the same problem where the Escape key does not function. I have read that this may be a problem with Steam key bindings, where the Escape key is controlling some action in the Steam platform. Unfortunately I have not yet found a way to fix this. ):
What I have done to somewhat circumvent this is saving my current game (or waiting for the game to auto-save) and then simply closing the game. This should save your progress, although it still does not give access to the menu and submenus usually accessed by the Escape key.

Try SHIFT+ESC or Fn+ESC

I've tried Fn+ESC but not SHIFT+ESC. I am using an Apple keyboard, could this be part of the problem?
