About the game
How 2 Escape is an escape-simulation game where two players will need to cooperate on asymmetrical gameplay and devices. "Talk together. Help each other." will be your new motto to survive in How 2 Escape.
Minimum specs
Minimum on the Steam store: 4 GB of memory, GTX 660 or more, 502 MB of storage. Windows only.
The value story
Across all 33 discounts in the 3 years tracked, the median cut is 65 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $4.54 at 65 percent off still sits 205 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
It is pricier than 69 percent of its genre. Tick Tock: A Tale for Two ($5.99, scores 66) outscores it, and so does United heist (free, scores 57). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say
Lots of fun, puzzles range from simple to kinda complicated (but absolutely solvable), and a great way to spend a few hours escaping with a friend! Can't wait to play the second one! :D

How 2 Escape is the kind of game you might play when you've already run out of better options - which, unfortunately, was exactly my situation.
One of the worst cooperative escape game I've ever played. The player with the app is solving multiple interesting puzzle while, at the same time, the player on the pc game is litterally waiting without doing anything at all for entire minutes because the game is balanced awfully. I can't honestly suggest this game unless you want to play it with a friend you hate and you keep the companion app.
