If you’re a fan of escape rooms, you’ll probably love Escape Academy. It's a school where students train to be the ultimate Escapist. What makes this game unique is that there are more than a dozen hand-crafted rooms, each one having been designed by experts who have experience in real-life escape rooms.
The game is available on PC through Steam. There's also the Escape Academy Deluxe Edition which has the base game, original soundtrack, and Season Pass. The Season Pass comes with two major expansions Escape from Anti-Escape Island (available fall 2022) and Escape from the Past (available spring 2023). Each of the expansions takes escapists on a wild adventure and introduces new allies; both expansions offer five new escape rooms each.
The game gives you a choice between going solo or trying to escape through two-player cooperative play, available on a local or online split-screen. As you play the game, you'll enjoy solving the puzzle with the music of Doseone in the background. By the way, the game won't take too many resources since the minimum system requirements for PC is only Windows 7 and at least 5 GB of available space.
If you're wondering what kind of escape rooms the game offers, here's a peek at the curriculum:
