Press Release – Escape String
Date: 26 October 2022

ESCAPE STRING Now Available for the Nintendo Switch, Xbox and Playstation
Arcade-Puzzle

New York, NY –October 26th, 2022– Independent game publishers 7 Raven Studios has announced Escape String, the arcade-puzzle, are now available on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Playstation
Escape String, is a 2D puzzle game set in an undefined time and place. A small humanoid robot wakes up in the debris of a landfill inside a large factory.
He receives strange and enigmatic messages, from someone who apparently wants to help him. The robot's purpose is to explore the large factory where he is in search of answers about who he and his mysterious remote helper are.
The player does not control the robot directly and in real time, but inserts movement commands above its display in order to tell the robot when it is time to jump, to crouch and more.
It is therefore a puzzle game based on perspective: the player must calculate the spaces between the robot and the obstacles. The obstacles are initially totally static, but as they advance, they will be more and more dynamic and varied.
For example, we will have guard robots that will perform the same actions as our robot in a mirrored manner. There are currently 40 levels, with 8 types of obstacles.
The real challenge will consist in finishing the level with the minimum possible number of indications (input) and providing these commands in a single line (string), ending the level while simultaneously satisfying these conditions will unlock the ""gold chip"" of that particular level.
The ""gold chip"" will be used to unlock new skins for our robot. This title is therefore suitable both for those looking for a relaxing puzzle, given the non-dynamic gameplay, and for those looking for a challenge given its arcade nature.
The full version of Escape String will be available on October 26th for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, October 27th for Nintendo Switch, and October 28th for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
