Escape The Games :

Massachusetts/USA - November 8, 2024 | Escape The Games' newest title Escape the Charon, a sci-fi adventure puzzle game, has launched its demo on Steam before its full release in Q2 2025.
Escape the Charon is a sci-fi adventure where an ancient alien artifact has been brought to the space station Charon, but soon after, the Charon goes dark. James West must search for clues and solve the mystery to discover what went wrong.


The demo is approximately 30 minutes long and consists of four areas for the player to explore: Phobos Starship Crew Quarters, Phobos Starship Bridge, Phobos-Charon Bridge, and Charon Outer Level 3A.
In order to help ease players in, Escape the Games has included three difficulty options and translated all text into 29 languages. Furthermore, the team has been conscious of first-person gameplay causing motion sickness, so they've incorporated node-to-node movement to provide a smoother experience for players.
Explore, solve puzzles and reveal the mystery!


The studio is a family team of six, including Bandit the Dog (self-proclaimed boss). As a family, they love playing escape room video games together and set out to create games that evoke a similar feeling in more dynamic settings.


"After months of hard work, it’s amazing to see Escape the Charon finally taking shape," Robert Stock shares, "As a small family studio, we've put so much thought and care into every detail of this adventure, hoping players connect with it. This is a huge milestone for us, and we’re excited to see our vision come to life."
Escape the Charon will be available on Steam in Q2 2025, and the demo is available to download now. For more information, be sure to follow the game's development on X.

  About Escape the Charon


Escape the Charon is a sci-fi adventure. An ancient alien artifact has been brought to the space station Charon - soon after, the Charon goes dark. James West must search for clues and solve the mystery to discover what went wrong.


The object was discovered in a desert on a dying planet at the edge of the galaxy. When an archaeological team unearthed the monolith, its unknown hieroglyphs gave them chills - could this be the work of the ancients? They enlisted the help of Andrea West and her team on the space station Charon to uncover the mystery of its origin.
 

James West was piloting his ship to Earth for a much needed leave. "Message received from Andrea," the computer chimed. He turned on his Neural Link Device and smiled as he opened the message.


"Jimmy, I need help. Something went terribly wrong! Can you..."
The rest of her words were cut off. He immediately set course for the Charon.
"I'm coming, sis"
