Aksys | Torrance, Calif. — October 19, 2023 — Aksys Games and Dreamloop Games announced today that the narrative adventure Inescapable: No Rules, No Rescue is available now for PC and consoles. 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.
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 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 Rescue 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 Rescue than almost any other game we've seen in the genre, and it isn't just limited to dialogue choices.”
GAME FEATURES:
Multiple narrative paths
A provocative character-driven story
A diverse cast of characters with intriguing personalities and backstories
Hours of voice-acted dialogue
A full-length original soundtrack with music from Zero Escape's Shinji Hosoe and Matias Lehtoranta
Inescapable: No Rules, No Rescue is available now for PC, Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®4/5, and XBOX. The game has been rated ‘M for Mature’ by the ESRB. For more information, visit www.aksysgames.com/inescapable/.
