Developer Dreamloop Games and publisher Aksys Games have announced the launch of their latest adventure game ‘Inescapable: No Rules, No Rescue’, now available on Xbox consoles. Players will take on the role of a young man named Harrison who has been kidnapped and forced to participate in a twisted reality TV show with 10 strangers. At the end of their stay, they’ll each receive $500,000—if they survive.
On the island, there are no rules or laws for the contestants to follow. Their only imperatives are to make it to the end and to entertain the depraved audience of the Dark Web TV show on which they find themselves. Inescapable: No Rules, No Rescue‘s story explores human nature and how far people will go for social clout, wealth, and their own desires—and how much farther they might be willing to go when they have permission to ignore the rules.
The actions players take will affect more than just the ending. In Inescapable: No Rules, No Rescue you serve as Harrison’s moral compass, so your choices and behaviour alter which side of other characters you experience, which in turn changes large portions of the story, the reality show itself, and even the very game mechanics you encounter. Will your choices lead to “Lord of the Flies”—total anarchy? Or will it be akin to “Love Island”—romance options and all? Or something else entirely?
Have a gander at the trailer, gallery, and full press release below for more information about Inescapable. You can grab the game on the Xbox Store right over here for 49.99 Euros/USD.
