Open-World Evolution for Escape Academy
Publisher iam8bit and developer Coin Crew Games are positioning Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School as the first open-world escape room game. The sequel evolves the format of the award-winning original, which was enjoyed by over four million players. It features an all-new campaign with handcrafted rooms designed to be life-threatening and wacky, including challenges like 100 foot drops and spiked ceilings that ignore standard safety regulations. The campus itself acts as a sprawling puzzle hub filled with hidden tunnels and mysterious passage ways. The game supports both online and local two player cooperative play.
