"Strangers escape" is a linear escape room style bitsy game that has the player solving puzzles and getting help from their fellow victims to make it out of the strange facility. The player can work through and solve the rooms by themselves for the most part, but sometimes interacting with the other trapped NPC's are necessary. These interactions are fueled by choices; who the player talks to, and which room they have advanced to when they decide to talk them. Sometimes NPC's may make the room skippable due to their particular attribute. Other times rooms require NPC sacrifices upon which the player decides through dialogue, making further interactions impossible. The game itself is a series of ten rooms, with each possible room after the first being impassable until the player has solved the puzzle, maze, or sacrifice. The player is able to move with WASD keys and can interact with NPCs and objects by moving directionally onto or against their sprites. Interactions pull up dialogues that describe items, actions, and characters’ dialogue depending on what the player interacts with. These dialogue bubbles build the entirety of the character building and player instruction within the game.
