Hello everyone!

We're writing a little spontaneous post on Steam, as many of you have been asking about the game since the french livestream from Wankil Studio (thanks for the live stream!).

Since the launch at the very end of August, we've made a lot of changes to the game, and we're continuing to improve it all the time.

[h2]Some facts to know about the game[/h2]

• The game is played by two players. One on Steam, the other on mobile or on Steam via the Companion app (free, whether or not you have the main game).
  
• You and your partner do not have the same game screen. Puzzles are procedurally generated, so solutions may differ from one game to the next.
  [Internet is not required to play! Everything synchronizes via codes you send to each other during the game. You can play the game in the same room, on the phone, via Discord and more...
  
• The hint system has been improved to make it simpler. Don't forget to text (via the companion app) the clues recovered by the player locked in the train.
  
• There's a color-blind mode available!
  
• You'll find 7 cars in the game, getting harder and longer!
  
• The game is 100% French, from a Parisian publisher, Just For Games, and a Lyon-based developer, Breakfirst Games! :)

If you like the game, don't hesitate to post a positive review on Steam, it helps us enormously! We've had a little bit of review bombing because the Chinese language isn't quite up to par with the other languages in the game. We're in the process of reworking it with a new partner, but the negative reviews coming from this Chinese version are weighing down the overall rating of the game, which is really bothering us :(

Have a good escape, Emy & Johan!

Hello everyone!

We're working actively to fix all the latest feedbacks that you all have.
Don't hesitate to let a positive review to the game if you liked it, it helps us a lot ♥

Patch Note - 09/12/23

• Fixed the bug that sometimes prevented accessing Locomotive's final riddle after entering the correct code when you played Locomotive for the 2nd time
  
• Added a setting to disable visual distortions (when reaching the end of the room's timer)
  
• Improved Desk's globe maneuverability when the globe is upside down
  

Thank you a lot and see you at the end of the train!

Bug fix :

Save : We fixed a bug that would corrupt your save and prevent you from completing the locomotive the second time you would do it. It could also corrupt your main menu and make it unusable.

Features :
Locomotive : Improved some english localization based on your feedbacks.
Global - Room intro : We added the name of the room you are in.

First of all, thanks a lot to @everyone who bought the game and we hope you love it!

We are a small development team and it's our first game on Steam so if you like How 2 Escape and want to help us, we'll be happy if you could write a positive review on Steam! It seems nothing but it really helps us a lot! ♥

There is no obligation doing that, but it really can help us so if you can, we will be thrilled!

Let's get to the bug fix:

• Bunk and Lounge : We fixed the error in which zooming into tickets or pages would make them disappear.
  
• Desk - Books : fixed the bug which occured when you switched the last book of the library resulting in the incapacity of putting back the book.
  
• Kitchen : Fruits can't be stuck in the sink anymore.
  
• Desk : Slides can't be stuck in the desk anymore.
  
• Localization improvements : mostly chinese, but we've reworked a bit the hint system. Don't forget to SEND the clue by message to your contact in the companion app! The ticket with only one word is the keyword to get the real "clue" from player 2.
  

Thanks a lot!
BreakFirst & Just For Games teams!
