Crafting · Survival

This spin-off reframes the prison-escape gameplay of The Escapists within the zombie apocalypse of Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead. Players must scavenge resources, craft tools, and maintain relationships with other survivors to survive each location. The core loop of gathering, crafting, and strategic planning remains, but the constant threat of walkers adds a layer of tension and urgency absent from the original.

About The Escapists: The Walking Dead

Details
Manage your escape from an onslaught of walkers in this cross-over between the time management escape game The Escapists and the blockbuster zombie franchise The Walking Dead. Using the retro graphical style of The Escapists, the game gives you control of Rick Grimes as he tries to secure the safety of a number of familiar characters by seeking out a safe escape route from each area, fending off the zombie hordes and keeping as many of them alive as possible as they escape. The game will faithfully keep to the timeline of the comics, so as you progress you'll move through a series of familiar locations.
