Inescapable: No Rules, No Rescue Coming October 19th

Twisty social thriller gets new trailer, featured in upcoming

Visual Novel Fest

Torrance, Calif. — August 3, 2023 — Aksys Games and Dreamloop Games announced today that the upcoming social thriller, Inescapable: No Rules, No Escape, will launch on October 19th, 2023 for PC and consoles. Developed by Dreamloop, Inescapable is a narrative adventure set at a tropical island resort: you’ve 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. A new trailer reveals just some of the intrigue that awaits in Inescapable: No Rules, No Escape.

On the island, there are no rules or laws for the contestants to follow. Their only imperatives are to survive and to entertain the depraved audience of the Dark Web TV show on which they find themselves. The 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.

"Inescapable: No Rules, No Escape isn't a Death Game. Or, more accurately, it isn't just a Death Game. Here, your relationship with other characters is game-defining,” says Joni Lappalainen, CEO of Dreamloop. “It’s about how six months in the most insane circumstances you can imagine might change you. Player choices and actions matter more in Inescapable: No Rules, No Escape than almost any other game we've seen in the genre, and it isn't just limited to dialogue choices.”

The actions players take will affect more than just the ending in Inescapable: No Rules, No Escape. You serve as Harrison's moral compass, so your choices and behavior 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?

Inescapable: No Rules, No Escape will be featured in the upcoming Steam Visual Novel Fest, beginning August 7th.
