Hey escapers,

The holiday season is here, and the Pine Team is gearing up for a well-earned winter break. ːcatlookingː

New DLC for Escape Simulator 1! We’re excited to announce that a new paid DLC and a new free DLC are in the works! We’ll share more details soon, but we’re confident you’ll love what we’ve got planned.

For Escape Simulator 2, we’ve been busy gathering feedback from all corners of the community—Steam, Discord, Reddit, YouTube comments—you name it.
Our next big milestone? A playable demo! We’re pouring our hearts into making it a special sneak peek for you. Don’t forget to wishlist Escape Simulator 2 to stay updated!

We’ve added almost all Mayan DLC and Talos props to the room editor, but we couldn’t finish everything in time before the holidays. Our plan is to release these props in a few weeks, alongside the next installment of the famous Build-a-Room competition! Builders, stay tuned! ;)

Now’s the perfect time to dive into Escape Simulator—or explore the latest Mayan DLC—if you haven’t already! The game is currently on its biggest sale yet: 50% off. Whether you’ve been curious to try it yourself or know someone who’d love a puzzle-filled adventure, this is the moment to grab it (or gift it).
