Don’t Escape: 4 Days to Survive, the fourth instalment in the popular Don’t Escape series from developer Scriptwelder, is currently 15% off on Steam.

The Earth has been beset upon by the apocalypse after a strange event caused the moon to crack in half. In Don’t Escape: 4 Days to Survive you must help David, a lone survivor who keeps experiencing prophetic dreams, survive through 4 days of bizarre and deadly terror.

The trick to the Don’t Escape series is that they put a spin on the usual ‘escape the room’ games. Instead, you must try your hardest not to escape whatever circumstances you find yourself in.
