Pine Studio has announced Escape Simulator 2, the sequel to its escape room simulation game. It will be available for PC via Steam. A release date was not announced.
“A sequel gives us the opportunity to start fresh and push the boundaries of the escape room genre,” said Pine Studio co-founder Boris Barbir in a press release. “For Escape Simulator 2, we were inspired to explore darker themes and experiment with new gameplay and puzzle mechanics. This sequel also brings significant technical upgrades, including a new rendering engine, rewritten netcode, improved physics, and enhanced animations. While Escape Simulator 2 adopts a darker, more mysterious tone compared to the original, it’s not a horror game—there are no jump scares or gore. We love the Escape Simulator community and we plan to continue supporting the original game while expanding and enhancing Escape Simulator 2 after its launch.”
Here is an overview of the game, via Pine Studio:
