Dead Escape - 3D Horror Adventure Game [Wabo Studios]

[susantio]

Hi everyone,

I like to share our second horror project, Dead Escape, a horror adventure game set during a zombie outbreak.
In the game, you control the main character who is trapped in a convenience store, during a zombie outbreak. You must guide the player out of the shop and eventually the whole city, by solving many puzzles along the way.
In a way, Dead Escape is a homage to B-grade horror movies of the 80s and 90s.

Dead Escape is our second horror game. The Crimsons, a 3D horror novela, being the first, which was in a way, a test of some sort. We have learned a lot since then and have noted many user feedback. We hope you will enjoy Dead Escape when it comes out.
If you like horror, black comedy, puzzle solving, a little scare every now and then, then we hope you will enjoy Dead Escape.

More info to come. Release date TBA. Thanks for watching!

[Nekcik]

Screenshots are looking pretty good. Will be interesting what a HD video of this game will be like.

[iFanzine]

Looks fantastic. Big fan of B-movies and survival horror... can't wait! :)

[mestour]

The graphics looks good :D

[LBG]

Looks interesting. Will it support retina display though? I couldn't help but notice the screenshots are in the old 320 x 480 resolution.

[GasparZizou]

good lord it looks gorgeous, 3DS is f*ckd already

[Gamerl01]

This looks awsome what devices will it support( please make it 2g) reminds me of silent hill and dead rising

[BrandonH.]

Looks fantastic! Is this Unreal Engine? It sure has some great graphics.

[thethinice]

Graphics certainly look good!! Since this is a strict puzzle game, hopefully there is some cool object and AI interaction to make the experience even more immersive. And some scary moments would be great too. After all it is a horror game. Maybe there's no combat, but how about running away from monsters or something?

[Red1]

The graphics do look nice. I like the way you've styled the characters.

[ColeDaddy]

The screens look cool. I'm looking forward to hearing more about the game. Definitely looks similar to a Silent Hill-type of game from the first shots.

[PnExT]

wow this is my type game:D

[GasparZizou]

i can't believe some ppl still ask for 2g support when they see those screens....

but i guess they deserve to feel the love too.

[bebo_beta2002]

wohooo awesome...another horror game and graphics look so cool
crimsons was awesome can't wait for this :D:D
i knw it's TBA but what is estimated ...maybe this month or next:D?

[qasim]

This looks amazing. Graphics are fantastic. I love zombie games and will definitely buy this day one.

Can't wait for the release!

[master lee]

Man graphics looks awesome

I'm looking forward to play this game!!!!!!

But first I want to see a video gameplay.......lol

[redribbon]

tough contender for forgotten memories... :D
who will comes first? :p

[ilovemyipod]

This looks really good im just gonna wait for an ipod touch 5th generation haha.

[arta]

When can we see video?

[Pacificsun0481]

I do kind of agree with the angry dude.

We are coming up on 5th gen iOS devices, and the second gens just don't have the graphics chips or ram needed for open GL effects.

I'd hate to say it, but your devices will probably stop receiving support (games, iOS 5, etc.) once the fifth gen iPhone and iPod touch land in stores.

So accept the fact that your devices are getting old, and save up for a newer gen device - if gaming on iOS is that important to you.

[redribbon]

^^couldn't agree more :)...you got the point.
so, i just hope the video will up soon.

[susantio]

Thanks everyone for your support for this game, Dead Escape.

I can confirm that Retina Display will be supported.

In regards to 2G support. We cannot confirm that yet however we haven't rule out the possibility. One thing for sure is that the game is running stable on 3GS.

The release date is still TBA, we are working hard around the clock to bring this game to you as polished (and as quickly) as possible.

I'll be adding more info about the gameplay soon. :)

[Sanuku]

Please make the Game as good as Shenmue was, please make the Game...

May i ask what Games or what Developer had inspired you the most if it comes to Horror Games, you know...Alone in the Dark, Silent Hill, Resident Evil,...?

[PnExT]

great,how much will be game price?

[kugi_igi]

those screenshots look absolutely awesome!!!
IMO,those look better than Forgotten Memories and as I understand it has the same concept as FM so great competition coming up,that's a nice thing ;)

[SirAwesome]

Looks awesome! Any plans for an ipad/ipad 2 optimized version of the game ?

[PnExT]

will this support iphone 4?

[Whiteplayer3d]

This game looks amazing, i like this game style...
Are in this game cutscenes,dabing (voices) or shock/scary-scenes or dark piano/sad violin style of atmosphe music?

(sorry for my bad english)

[susantio]

Sanuku: We are actually inspired by point-and-click genre, and escape-the-room type of game. Of course we add our own twist to it, and that is a fully 3D world for a truly immersive experience.

PnExT: This game is iphone 4 tested and compatible. as for the price, we are not sure yet but it will be very reasonably priced.

Whiteplayer3d: There will be plenty of cutscenes in this game, it's not so much dark piano/violin but more modern instrument to complement the urban landscape. The game is actually not so much trying to scare or shock the player, the aim is to place the player in a situation where there is a zombie outbreak in town, and you have to escape by means of solving numerous puzzles in the game. There are approximatelly 50 items in the game, each item can be examined, rotated in 3D, combined with other items, and used in the environment by means of drag-and-drop. The game is divided into several chapters and each chapter encompassed several different locations.

Anyway, here is a teaser youtube trailer for Dead Escape. We hope you'll enjoy it. :)

[bebo_beta2002]

woow...just woow
trailer looks awesome and i really can't wait for july
july gonna be awesome month can't waiiiiiiiit :D:D

[Pacificsun0481]

You never did respond, to whether there would be iPad/iPad 2 compatability
:confused:

[GasparZizou]

two things...

1. 00:02 Did she fart?

2. the combat system looks awkward.

[redribbon]

1. 00:02 did she fart?



lol :d

[susantio]

Pacificsun0481: Sorry I missed your question. The game will be ipad/ipad2 compatible.

About the combat system.. there's isn't an 'actual combat' in the game. Without spoiling the story too much, there will be some instances in the game where you do encounter zombies but they will be treated more like a mini-game/puzzle.

About the fart.. well, I guess she had eaten too much baken beans... :/

[arce]

support ipt 2g?

[thethinice]

The trailer looks great! Except for the combat, really. It looks more like your'e challenging the zombie to a game of dance dance revolution. Can't wait for release!

[Whiteplayer3d]

Graphics is good, but combat system looks bad :(
Are in-game voices (spoken characters)?

(Sorry for my bad english)

[Redskull97]

Yes! finally a game that I'm looking forward to buy
And it actually runs on 3rd gen devices with good graphics
kewl:D

[PnExT]

support for ipodtouch 2G?:confused:

[susantio]

We just have a confirmation that the game will only run on 3GS+ or higher, this is due to shader issues in 2G devices. It is possible that we might do an update later to cater to that, but not until this version is released.

As for spoken voices in the game, I'll get back to you soon on that one. There are many dialogues in this game as there are many objects that the player can interact with, so it is unlikely to have voices for each and every dialogue.

[bigrand1]

Yes, Yes, Yes!!! This looks incredible! Can't wait for this! Shortage of this kind of game around here when It's done well!

[Vee]

Looks good but daym! What a name! Not even Escape from the Dead, just dead escape.

[arce]

support ipt 2g?

[Pacificsun0481]

support ipt 2g?

Did you not read 3 posts above yours?!

"We just have a confirmation that the game will only run on 3GS+ or higher, this is due to shader issues in 2G devices. It is possible that we might do an update later to cater to that, but not until this version is released.

Geez people, get new devices - MOST modern games, with any shaders and lighting, 3d models or open GL effects won't run on 2gen devices.

[bebo_beta2002]

where's is this game?
will it be released next week?

[susantio]

where's is this game?
will it be released next week?

Hi, sorry for the delay. We are working round the clock to complete the game, polishing and taking care of a few bugs.

The deadline has slipped a bit but we will aim to release the game beginning of August.

I will post a short gameplay video of the game today. Thank you for your patience. :)

[PnExT]

finally...we can't wait too much:D

[susantio]

Hi guys, we have some good news,
Firstly, the game is only days away from submission,
secondly, we are now supporting ipod touch 2G as well! Although we do recommend you play it on at least a 3GS device or higher to get all the graphics effects in the game, but the game is fully playable on the 2G device.
And thirdly, as promised, here is a short demo video of the game.

The FPS counter on the left corner is just for a development build, it will not appear in the final game.

[LOLavi]

I thought it said "Dead Space - 3D Horror Shooter" :P Great looking game btw!

This looks really cool. Kinda has that Resident Evil vibe, too :D

Really excited for the release of this game.

[iVaro]

I love the look of this game. How long should I take to complete it and what will the price be?

[Pacificsun0481]

I second this notion :)

I loved seeing the video on the prior page.

How long do you think the campaign runs, time wise? (hopefully more than an hour or 2) - and I'm curious about pricing, this could easily start at the low end 4.99 - more :D...

also, is it universal?

[susantio]

The game is huge, it will take more than 2 hours to complete the game. You can interact with almost every objects in the game. There are over 50 items you can pick up, and different locations you will visit, and just when you think you've beaten the game, you will find a "twist" in the story. hint: the final stage is actually the biggest stage in the game.

As for pricing, we will have a release special, and it will be lower than you think. We want everyone to enjoy the game.

There is a particular stage in the game which is my favourite, ...ah but it will spoil it for everyone, so just stay tuned Our beta testers had the most fun in this particular stage, basically it contains a group of hungry zombies and a maze... :)

The game is compatible with ipod touch 2G, iphone 3GS, 4 and higher. It also support Retina Display.
The game is not universal is not tested on iPad.

This is a bummer - :(

Any hopes there will be an update in the future adding universal capabilities? Or a separate iPad app?

I was so looking forward to this game too :o

Zombies + Resident Evil (older titles) are my all time favorite

I'd love to see this arrive on the iPad

Sad face...

No response :(

[zeonmx]

Well, since the game is only few days from release, that's a good news.

[susantio]

Sorry for the late response, were not ruling out the possibility to have a separate iPad version later this year. :)

An iPad would be a great platform for your very slick title.

OH yes um buying this no matter what it costs

[bigrand1]

This looks really good! Can't wait to check out the finished product!

[7h30n]

Frankly, I'm always skeptical towards the quality of horror games. Probably so because most "next-gen survival horror" games are nothing more but action titles with a lot of gore & monsters.

But, this actually looks good. Not great like my all time favourites: Silent Hill 2 & Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth.
Dead Escape reminds me of earlier Resident Evil titles and Silent Hill beacuse game is essentialy an adventure game with horror setting (which is a good thing).
I wish you best of luck! This might just be the right survival horror game on AppStore I've been looking for.

[Pacificsun0481]

I'm hoping it does well, so the iPad segment can be served :D

[GasparZizou]

so, there's not combat what so ever in this game?

there's nothing wrong with some extreme survival combat.

[PnExT]

maybe next week?

[zeonmx]

He said it was going to be released in few days and that was last week.

[Gamerl01]

Cant wait any news on the release?

[PnExT]

if this not out tomorrow than never will out...

[Pacificsun0481]

Hopefully the release was delayed to build an iPad or universal version? :p

Doubt it though :(

Any word on when this is arriving?

[jumpman475]

This game kinda fell off the radar. Hopefully release is near though. An interactive, horror puzzler? When it finally releases it will definitely be an instabuy for me

[susantio]

Hi everyone,

We have a very exciting news. Dead Escape will be out this Sunday 28th August!

We will have a special release price of $1.99.

Thank you everyone for your support.

[Nightshift Nurse]

Serious question:

Would it be possible to make the protagonist look like less of a douche bag? I feel I'd be more inclined to navigate him into a pile of zombies rather than away from it.

[juan13]

Great. what about the price?

Sorry, already answered

[squarezero]

Serious question:

That's not a serious question.

[BlindingLights]

2 days! I really can't wait for this, its looks awesome.

[Nightshift Nurse]

That's not a serious question.

No, it really is.

Good character designs are key in making any sort of connection to the avatar whose actions you control.

And these designs stink - the jock-hipster hybrids of the world can all be consumed in the zombie apocalypse.

[psj3809]

Are you on drugs? Come on be serious

[susantio]

Hello Nightshift Nurse,
We appreciate your design input. I wished you had seen the thread sooner during our production phase. We welcome every feedback so just post em' to support@wabostudios.com
Cheers.

You are not asking a question: you are expressing an opinion in a really douchey way (kind of ironic, don't you think?). Just because you don't like the main character it doesn't mean that it's badly designed.

Awesome! Can't wait to play this

Yeah I agree. Nobody should start complaining that they don't like the look of the player at this point. If anything ask for multiple playable characters

[squarezero]

He or she can complain all they want, it's a free country. What irked me is pretending the complaint was legitimate feedback to the developer -- as if the character design would actually be radically changed to please his or her taste/prejudices.

Yeah I get what your saying.

[Pacificsun0481]

How long, hypothetically do you think it might take to have an HD/universal build?

This game would be an amazing experience on an iPad 1 or 2 assuming, the full game is as good as the demo you previewed.

Zombie Gunship made the universal jump and I'm sure it was worth it for them.

Please consider the iPad user base :(

[arce]

support ipt 2g?

[jumpman475]

The game is compatible with ipod touch 2G, iphone 3GS, 4 and higher. It also support Retina Display.
The game is not universal is not tested on iPad.

There you go;)

[scorpionxd]

Few more hours to release i suppose?

[Buffalo Soldier]

All sounds good and looks amazing :-)

[Appletini]

Game is available now (in NZ at least).

[susantio]

Appletini: Thanks for the heads up.

arce: Yes this game is fully tested and compatible with iPod touch 2G.

I'm very excited with this release as we have put a lot of effort into making this game. We are just two persons team, and of course, we give credits to our friends who have helped us with this game, with the artwork, music, play-testing, etc. So I hope everybody can appreciate and enjoy this 100% indie game.

By the way, if anyone interested in reviewing this game please PM me and I might have a few promo codes to give away. Thanks!

The game really does look surprisingly good for a two-person effort; hopefully the actual gameplay lives up to expectations. ^_^
