I Will Escape – details announced
Blue Label Studio announces its first game, I Will Escape, from the “I will” game trilogy. You are Brian Lowfield. You awaken on the cold floor of a prison cell with no recollection of what happened in the past 24 hours. You’re completely stripped from your gear. On the floor, you find a picture of a young girl. You don’t know who she is, yet she looks familiar to you. You have no idea what’s going on, but you are sure about one thing: I Will Escape! While you’re trying to escape you will encounter different challenges while finding your way out such as: solving puzzles, finding items and getting past your enemies unseen. You have no weapons so you will have to sneak or distract your enemies. Whatever happens, do not get caught!
The abandoned old prison you are locked in, consists of several buildings , yards and a wide range of sewers. Quickly, after the first escape from your cell, you find out you’re not alone. Guards are patrolling the sights. Soon you find out that the army is using this prison as a base to lock up people and do experiments on them.To get a sense of the world around you, you can collect notes containing information of the world you are in.
