I keep trying to read all the comments and watch most of the videos you guys make and I'd like to thank you all for all the amazing support since the game release! I'm still in the process of planning my next project and I look forward to sharing it when I'm ready. Meanwhile, a lot of people have asked about having the original trilogy on Steam, so I'm happy to announce Don't Escape Trilogy will be available on July 29th for $4.99. It's been so amazing to have so many people say they want to own the series, and it really makes me happy to know people enjoy the games that much. These aren't remasters or remakes, but instead just a collection of the original games with Steam achievements, so you'll always be able to play them regardless of how web technology changes.

Add the trilogy to your wishlist today!

Don't Escape: 4 Days to Survive

Hey everyone! Thank you so much to everyone who has played and reviewed the game so far. We're overwhelmed by all the support. Today we have a fairly substantial update for the game. The first and perhaps the most obvious is the name change. Going forward, the game is now known as Don't Escape: 4 Days to Survive. You can read more about the reasoning behind it here.

Additionally, we have a number of improvements, changes and fixes for you!

• Custom Game mode: select threats and other circumstances for each day. Unlocked after achieving a Good Ending in the Awakening mode
• Added more delay between random NPC dialogues. Also, those dialogues should not occur immediately after a normal dialogue just took place.
• Improved readability of some of the pixelated font characters.
• Bugs related to the security door in one of Day 4 locations have been fixed.
• Other bug fixes

Last but not least, Steam Trading Cards!

Steam Trading Cards are finally here, together with profile badges, background images and chat emoticons for you to collect!

Over and out!

Once again thank you for your ongoing support: all the warm words, nice reviews and bug reports. All the new glitches that you report will be as usual fixed in the updates to follow. Stay tuned!

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30507001/c260c66f246b8f4a67d759217f13a27c5720b129.gif In version 1.0.4 we have addressed a number of text errors and graphical glitches. Thanks to everyone who has reported bugs on forums, via email etc. Here's a quick summary of the most important changes:

• Fixed the most common text glitch concerning Day 3 results screen, poison and Cody.
• Added a missing to a couple of items (Powered gas heater, activated Heat Absorber)
• Movement speed (animations) of locust and spiders have been adjusted.
• Several instances of dialogues had mismatched lines. This has been corrected.
• Random dialogues between NPCs were occurring a bit too often. A delay between them has been slightly increased.
• Music during the final sequence was not looping. That has been fixed.
• The game would restart if there was no end-day autosave and your time run out. Now if there is no end-day autosave yet, the most recent autosave will be loaded instead.
• Day 4 Death screens were mixed up.
• On the Construction Site, some of the background elements were visually unaffected by the sunset.
• Other small glitches
• A typo here and there

Please continue to let us know when you encounter bugs and we'll fix them ASAP! Thanks to everyone who has supported us so far... your comments and reviews mean a lot!

Coming soon...

badges and trading cards!

The apocalypse is finally here!

After more than three years of development and a lot of hard work, and a bunch of really awesome dedicated beta testers, Don't Escape: 4 Days in a Wasteland is finally available. We're so excited and proud the game is finally out, and we're looking forward to hearing what everyone thinks. If you encounter a bug, of the non-giant-spider or locust variety, please post it with details in the forum so we can stomp it as quickly as possible! Thanks for checking out our game, and to everyone who has provided support and encouragement over the years. We hope you enjoy your time with it, and we'll see you in the wasteland!

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30507001/46ce309455ca58d00d8eb34bae8fcf474cad5322.gif Hey everyone!

It will be available for $14.99USD with a launch week discount of 15%. We want to thank everyone who has supported the game so far and helped us with feedback, encouragement, and of course, the endless barrage of "is it done yet" e-mails. This is Scriptwelder's biggest game to date (it's a real doozy with a lot of surprises) and we're so excited you'll finally get a chance to play it. :)

We're working hard to bring you Don't Escape - currently fixing bugs and proofreading scripts. Everything seems to be looking great and we only ask you for a bit more patience! Meanwhile let's introduce our main cast! Don’t Escape: 4 Days in a Wasteland is a game about the end of the world, remoteness and desolation. And while you start the game as a lone traveler walking across the desert, at some point you will meet a couple of characters that can join you and help you… if you persuade them to, that is. So let’s take a closer look at the main characters of our story - without giving too many spoilers away! https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30507001/8fdebc4a4f081a564a3d6b0d695acc8bc3e987de.gif

David

This is you, the protagonist of the game. Lone traveler trying to survive in the hostile world. While it is not clear who were you before the apocalypse, you might be certain of who you are now - a survivor, a guy who knows how to deal with the wastelands… and also, apparently, a prophet. A what? Well, you are not really sure why, but you start having those dreams - dreams of incoming danger, of a impending threat. And they keep coming true… which leaves you with a huge advantage - knowing what is going to happen you can prepare for it and survive to see another day. The question remains: how many days are there to be seen before all is over? https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30507001/e2b14abbcbc562c515ec67a4e515ba7e643e9808.gif

Cate

She is a pilot and as such she can fly all sorts of aircrafts, which would be a super useful skill to have if there was anything that can lift off still around. She is tough, independent and resourceful. Not afraid of using a gun if needed… frankly speaking she is keen on using it even if it’s not really necessary. She knows about a certain classified place that she hopes to locate with your help, but she is not really eager to share her secrets with anyone that easily. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30507001/7ade86395cde57bd8586937b698c00890945f679.gif

Barry

He used to be a car mechanic. Barry is your local guy, so he knows his way around the area, even though it has changed a lot since the world has ended. He has experienced a personal tragedy, recently losing a very near and dear person, so don’t expect him to be cheerful or optimistic about anything. Even though he isn’t very talkative, he seems to know a story about everything and everyone. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30507001/1c396b4d49e97d6f12646ecf058303ae9d1de960.gif

Cody

He’s a kid around 10 or 11 years old - you’re not sure and he won’t tell. He used to live in an orphanage, so he didn’t have it easy in life. It did not become better when the apocalypse happened - he found himself roaming around, alone and frightened, looking for something to eat. He is always hungry, that’s for sure, and looking at this skinny boy you can tell he skipped dinner more than once. When not eating or looking for food, he seems rather cheerful, quite silly and a bit naive. He used to have a stuffed toy tiger, but he lost it somewhere. This is you and your possible team - however not everyone that you meet throughout the game will be as friendly and willing to cooperate, so be careful! If you want to know more about the game and never miss an important announcement or maybe you just want more sneak peeks - sign up to our mailing list today! Thank you to everyone who has supported the game and left us feedback. I look forward to sharing even more with you in the new year! https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30507001/5121b2867a9feafb7e070c8dddd391bc8a090c9b.png

Hey folks! Dora here. I'm Scriptwelder's producer alongside his publisher, Armor Games Studios. I wanted to drop in to give you some insight into everything that's been happening with his latest (and biggest) adventure. As you may know, Scriptwelder is a solo developer based in Poland. He's been heads down on this game for a long time now, and we're happy to announce the game is finally content complete! What that means is that all of the story, chapters, puzzles, art, etc are "done" and the game is moving forward into QA. It's been a long road to get to this point, and along the way we've had several batches of wonderful beta testers who have helped us by sharing their thoughts and feedback at several points throughout development. Of course, that doesn't mean the game itself is done! QA is a long process, especially for a game as big as this one turned out to be. Scriptwelder is rolling up his sleeves to deal with a lot of bug reports and other fixes, while on our end we're working on localisation and editing. (We'll announce the additional languages once those are locked in!) Combine that with other work like the launch trailer, and you have a whole lot to keep us busy. All of it boils down to us polishing the game up and crushing every single bug we can on the road to release. And speaking of... At this point, the best release date I can give you is Q1 2019. Which, yeah, I know, is still sort of vague, but we'd rather surprise you than need to walk it back because we found a bunch of gamebreaking bugs, or a piano fell on Scriptwelder and his PC. We promise, we're just as eager for you guys to finally get your hands on this, and as soon as we have something more concrete locked down you'll be the first to know! In the meantime, you'll be seeing some more sneak peeks and previews here every few weeks. Today I've gone through and updated all of the (very out of date) screenshots by adding 12 new ones. I'm going to be putting together a preview that shows off some of the chapter variations a bit more clearly, so I hope you'll look forward to it. Thank you to everyone who has wishlisted and supported us so far, whether with a kind word or just a stray thought now and then. Follow Scriptwelder on Twitter and stay tuned! https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30507001/758aea0c35eff68f5607e80e92657f52f65be6f3.gif
