Game description (from creator):
Following a bizarre cataclysmic event that cracked the moon in half, the Earth is struggling with the environmental fallout. Everything is already dead or dying... except you. Or so you think. Don't Escape: 4 Days to Survive is a post-apocalyptic thriller from veteran developer Scriptwelder, creator of the popular horror series Deep Sleep and Don't Escape. Players must figure out a way to properly fortify their home against each night's new danger, as they learn the truth behind the apocalypse and search for a way to safety, if one exists.
Players will journey alongside David, a lone survivor after the end of the world, who finds himself having prophetic dreams... or nightmares. Each chapter of the game has multiple potential variations to encounter, from poisonous fog or spiders to a gang of murderous thugs or a deadly heat wave, and as a result, you'll need to adjust your strategy on different playthroughs. But you don't have forever. Certain actions advance the in-game clock, and you'll need to complete your preparations to (hopefully) stay alive before night falls.
Will you make it through all four days? Will your companions?

[@yunnjou4971]

fun fact: in the raider scenario, if you end the day in the roof, david kill more raiders for the better position of the house and because is logical xd

[@ShadowWolfTJC]

With such a premise as surviving various extreme threats until the end of the world, personally, I find the variety of different day-to-day threats to be rather small. I wish there was a bigger pool of threats for the game to draw upon. Some ideas that I have for threats for various days include the following: Day 1: - Rats, Bats, or Birds: all of which could necessitate setting up the right kind of poisonous aerosols (though the rats would be better tackled with the ground sprinkler system), acoustic devices tuned to the right frequencies, and the right kind of bait to discourage or distract them, depending on their species, boarding up the house as usual, either setting up an electric perimeter around the house to discourage the rats, or lighting and/or sealing off the fireplace to keep the birds and bats from entering inside through the chimney, either attracting a flock of predatory birds to thin out the rat horde, amplifying the power of the acoustic devices to better repel or disorient the bats, or setting up a magnetic beacon away from the shelter to distract or disorient the birds, and keeping a protective suit on hand as a last resort. Day 2: - Sandstorm: necessitating the need to shelter within either the top or bottom floor of the house, depending on whether the sandstorm will primarily cross the ground or the air (taking shelter underground would not be advised due to the dangers of being buried by sand), to board up the doors and windows to keep the sand from getting inside, to reinforce the roof to keep sand accumulating on the roof from causing it to collapse onto the shelter, to make the roof steeper down the middle to keep too much sand from piling up on the roof, to put a tarp over the helicopter to keep too much sand from getting inside the hole, and to equip everyone with blankets to protect themselves from the abrasive sand as a last resort. - Hurricane: necessitating the need to shelter within either the top or bottom floor of the house, depending on whether the hurricane's wind or rain is a greater threat (taking shelter underground would not be advised due to the dangers of being flooded with rainwater), to board up and seal off the doors and windows to keep the wind and rain from getting inside, to reinforce the roof to keep it from collapsing from excessive rain and wind, to fix leaks within the roof to keep too much rain from leaking inside, to put a tarp over the helicopter to keep too much rain from getting inside the hole, and to equip everyone with rain coats to keep themselves dry as a last resort. - Radioactive Fallout: necessitating the need to shelter within either the top or bottom floor of the house, depending on the gas density of the radioactive fallout, to seal the doors, windows, and chimney up in an airtight manner to keep the radioactive fallout from getting inside, to disperse an experimental aerosol to reduce the amount of radioactive fallout (though you'd need to choose the right aerosol depending on which elements are present within the fallout), to acquire a geiger counter to know where radiation levels are highest, to shelter within an airtight lead-lined tent within the house to keep too much beta and gamma radiation from being absorbed by your party, to have surplus oxygen supplies in case air runs out while sheltering inside the tent, to give everyone potassium iodide pills to reduce the risk of developing short-term cancer after the fallout has settled outside for the remaining couple days, and to equip everyone with hazmat suits to protect themselves from the worst of the radioactive fallout as a last resort. Day 3: - Nanobot Swarm: necessitating the need to either stay underground to avoid the satellite controlling a smaller, smarter hunter-seeker swarm, and broadcast a jamming signal to blind the satellite, or stay at the highest floor of the house, sealing off the entrances in an air-tight manner, to avoid a much bigger, yet also much dumber, swarm from sweeping through the ground floor as it travels in a wave, to either broadcast radio signals (of the correct frequency) or set up flares (with the right properties) from various far away points to draw some nanobots away, depending on their tracking methods, to flood the area around the shelter with electromagnetic interference tuned to a particular wavelength to weaken the nanobot swarm's cohesion, to install an electrified perimeter to keep the nanobot swarm at bay, to upload a virus to the nanobot swarm to shut much of it down, to sabotage a nanobot control center within the abandoned building within the city, and to have everyone carry personal EMP devices as a last resort. - Killer Robots: necessitating the need to fortify the house, to broadcast radio signals from various far away points to draw some robots away, to upload a virus to cause some of the robots to turn against eachother, to sabotage a robot control center within the abandoned building within the city, to convince the soldiers (and maybe the surviving remnants of Razor's biker gang) to hole up within your shelter for the night, to arm yourself with a scoped rifle with plenty of ammo, and, depending on whether the robots were designed for using sound to track and hunt down prey while minimizing heat emissions, or for possessing enhanced combat prowess that causes them to emit lots of heat as a by-product, to use either flares or acoustic decoys to distract the robots, and to equip either an infrared scope or sound suppressor on your rifle, and to equip everyone with some spare firepower as a last resort. - Zombies: necessitating the need to fortify the house, to install either loudspeakers or scented aerosol sprinklers onto various far away points to draw some zombies away, to dig a trench full of punji spikes, to lay down bear traps, to convince the soldiers (and maybe the surviving remnants of Razor's biker gang) to hole up within your shelter for the night, to help subdue and tie up a rebellious psychopath from Razor's gang, and use him as bait to lure some zombies to an explosive booby trap, to arm yourself with a scoped rifle with plenty of ammo, and, depending on whether the zombies rely on scent or sound to track and hunt down prey, to use either scented flares or acoustic decoys to distract the zombies, and either equip a sound suppressor on your rifle, or have jars full of scented bait on hand to cause some of the zombies to turn on eachother, and to equip everyone with some spare firepower as a last resort. Day 4: - Reaction Control System Repairs: necessitating the need to create a new monopropellant mixture, to repair the shuttle's altimetry system for efficiently landing on the moon, to reconfigure the ship's RCS thrusters to minimize monopropellant waste while dodging meteors and space debris, to fix a leak in the monopropellant fuel lines, to fix the ship's collision avoidance system so that it doesn't collide with space debris, to fix the ground-based radar station so that it can assist the shuttle in detecting space debris, further reducing monopropellant waste, and to have RCS jetpack monopropellant available as backup to divert into the shuttle. - Space-Based Military Blockade: necessitating the need to rearm the shuttle with missiles to shoot down incoming missiles or satellites, to repair the shuttle's ECM systems to evade enemy fire, to resupply chaff and flares to the shuttle, mostly around the engine stages, to act as decoys against enemy fire, to apply a proper stealth paint mixture to the shuttle to slip by enemy radar while in space, to disable the defenses at both the launch site and moon base, and to stock some extra missiles to bombard some of the moon base's defenses before landing just in case. - Electromagnetic Interference: necessitating the need to repair and re-tune the launch site's EM shielding field to allow usage of ground-based radar to assist the shuttle in space debris avoidance, to fix a dynamo aboard the shuttle to counter electromagnetic interference, to repair a circuitbreaker aboard the shuttle in case of electromagnetic surges, to repair cracks within the shuttle's faraday cage frame, and to install spare fuzes in case the shuttle's systems are hit with EMPs.

There probably won’t be another sequel since this game feels like what the three deep sleep games were leading up to and it seemed like a great conclusion to the series. What people are really hoping for is that this could get a film adaptation.

​@@aWalkThroughLife now I can imagine if the names merged together: "Don't Escape: 4 Days to Survive in a Wasteland" lol

[@Inesistente]

I have a few questions: - What happens if you wait real life time on the Moon until it gets too close to Earth, will you die? - Can you let both Cody and Barry fall from the roof by just skipping over? - If you don't rescue Barry and Cody on 2nd Day, Barry will die and drop the key for the garage, but what about Cody? Where will he go? I know he disappears from the restaurant and we cannot see his dead body. - What if you don't bury your fallen friend with Acidic Rain on 3rd day, will he turn into a skeleton because his skin burned down because of the acid? - Can you start the spaceship while the silo hatch is closed and crash into it or the game won't let you go and give you the moon crashing ending? - What happens if both Cody and Barry die after you got the disks (for example on Raider Scenario in the Awakening) and escape solo (Cate dies)? What will the final scene look like? - If in the Air Deficency Scenario you or any other except Cate won't take the pills, will it be him the one who'll die? Or will it still be Cate because of the need of speeding up the spaceship? - I know you can do the Heat Wave Scenario in your home too, so my question is: no one ever tried to open the fridge. It looks pretty useless if no one doesn't, but does it really help you? I think yes tho. - Turning back to the first question: what if you wait in the right room while the window is cracking? Will it break and you'll die or it can't because the game is forcing you to run away? - I know that the shadow of the 3rd dream in the Awakening just vaporizes you if it gets you. So what happens if you go to the bathroom instead of talking to Maggie / Plushie Tiger? - What if you run out of time in any scenario without using the clock by, Idk, doing useless stuff? Will the game even let you do actions that require a bigger amount of time than how much you have go survive? - How is any other instant death like the shadow one, for example the guard of the thugs band or the doormat etc.? Does it just make you restart after you die? - If you aren't perfectly prepared in the thunderstorm and acidic rain water scenario the roof will collapse a bit. What if you go in the attic if the roof is in those conditions? Will you find a melting roof and a visible sky or the game won't let you because it's aware of it? - What happens if 1% or more of acidic rain enters your hiddout? Will you survive? - If on the heat wave you light the chimney and open the microwave or on the blizzard put the tiles on the ground and sleep in the cave will the percentage bar exceed 100%? - Can you shoot at Cody and Barry before even talking to them (I've seen from a video of my country that if you use the rifle on Cody it will say "Use the rifle on a boy" as you could shoot him, but didn't show what would have happened)? - Can you poison the thugs' food while also convincing Sarge to go? (because I've seen people who convinced Sarge to go but never poisoned food and people who killed Sarge and poisoning food but never them merged together, also Idk if you knew but you can give the stolen food to Cody and he'll be really happy lol-) - Can you lock the thugs outside by simply putting the towels under the door? Like lol that'd be funny even if I doubt it as I think they could simply kick the door to open it- - Can you give the rifle to Sarge in the thunderstorm scenario? I may add more questions later-

[@aWalkThroughLife]

I'm not replaying the game to find these answers so I'll simply tell you what I know (if I don't answer a question, it means I don't know it at all): - It's doubtful you'll die on the moon by waiting. I waited when the glass started to crack and nothing happened. - No clue though I doubt you can let both fall. The woman would probably tell you you have to save one or the game would force you to choose (since there's no on screen timer). - Cody probably ran off somewhere to take cover or moved on to the next town. It isn't really important since he doesn't have anything valuable to drop. Barry didn't care to take cover because he didn't care about living. - I think the woman points out that the silo is still closed and won't let you launch (I think I tried doing that). - Never experimented with what scenarios look like after losing people though I imagine if you have both disks that you'll get the same ending as in the video, but only the people who are still alive will appear in the ending). - No clue if the fridge helps. I will say it won't matter as you have only two objectives: survive or survive perfectly (the latter gives you the ability to carry more weight). You won't survive perfectly in the house, but you will survive. - Like I mentioned earlier, you won't die with the window cracking. It's just for show. - I don't believe the game will allow you to do anything that goes over you're allowed amount of time. I think it denies you and lets you know you don't have enough time. - With the percentage of acid rain entering the hideout, I imagine one of your comrades will die at most. I don't think it would result in a game over. - Yep, I knew you could give the stolen food to Cody though since it doesn't do anything for the plot, I decided not to show it. - If you poison the food and convince Sarge to leave, when the bandits try to storm your house, it will say one of Sarge's men died due to you poisoning the food so he and his men decide to stay and fight.

[@aWalkThroughLife]

They are randomized to a point. The first day has a set of three different scenarios that can come up, while the remaining days have two scenarios each that can come up. I have no idea if the creator updated the game, though I doubt the creator would get rid of the randomized scenarios.

What happens if you beat the game during the first playthrough without using any discs and then start a new game?

[@aWalkThroughLife]

Then the game just starts over from the beginning and you won't have the chance to get both disks in that new run.

[@Daniel100Benner]

@@aWalkThroughLife Ah, but from what I've seen in some videos, someone got both Cody's plushie tiger and Maggie to appear in the dream, I remember the conversation going something along the lines of "you're bad at remembering" or something like that.

[@aWalkThroughLife]

@@Daniel100Benner Then I don't know what to tell you. All I know is that the game starts out almost exactly how it did in the beginning if you don't get any of the disks. If you get at least one disk, the guy says something like "it feels like I'm forgetting something".

[@Daniel100Benner]

@@aWalkThroughLife Ok, thanks anyway.

[@aWalkThroughLife]

@@Daniel100Benner I know it's been awhile, but I re-read your comment and thought about what you said about both Maggie and Cody's tiger appearing. I might have a possible explanation about why they both would appear: - Beat the game with one of the disks. - In a dream (after the game restarts), you can go upstairs and you will talk to something that corresponds with the person you chose to let die (Maggie or the tiger). - Just before entering the facility, you are supposed to talk to the person who died in the previous playthrough and tell them not to follow you (that way, you only have to save one person). Don't do this and attempt to enter the facility with both. - Let the person who lived last time die and end the game with only one disk. When you restart the game and go up the dream stairway, it would make sense for both Maggie and the tiger to be there. Just a thought.

[@Powernolu]

What happens if you hide in the cave in the raider scenario? Would you easily win , will the game think your outside in the open or do they hunt you down and kill you on the spot?

[@aWalkThroughLife]

No clue. Never tried it. Though my guess would be that the game would say something like "the raiders followed your tracks to the cave and because you were now in a cave with no exit, the raiders have you trapped and can pick you off easily with their superior numbers and firepower or simply wait for you to die of thirst (or the moon falling on you)"

[@Soma81]
