We’ve just released a small free update featuring a brand new noir-themed room called Detective’s Office. You can play it in both flat and VR versions of Escape Simulator. Immerse yourself in a gritty atmosphere with flickering neon lights and classic noir puzzles.
Also included in the update are new detective outfits for your characters, alongside a bunch of small bug fixes and improvements.
🎵 Soundtrack Update
The official Escape Simulator soundtrack just got a major boost. It's updated to include music from recent rooms and DLCs, along with some of the loopable chill tracks from our livestreams so now includes 56 tracks and over 3 hours of music, available in both MP3 and high-quality WAV formats.
🥽 Mayan DLC now available on Meta VR
Our Mayan DLC is now fully playable on Meta VR platforms. Explore the jungle and uncover ancient puzzles in VR. And yes, the new Detective’s Office room is also available on Meta, free for all players.
🐧 Linux Support?
We’ve decided to stop maintaining a native Linux build. :( We supported the native Linux version for nearly 4 years, even though it’s always been under 0.5% of our players.
Proton now runs the game more reliably than the native build with fewer crashes, better performance, and most Linux players already switched to it.
As a small team, maintaining the native build across many distros was taking time away from developing new content (we just released our 50th room!). So we’ve decided to focus on supporting Proton, which continues to work well on Linux and Steam Deck.
We understand this change is frustrating for some, and we truly appreciate everyone who supported us on Linux. <3
🐧 Linux Update 🐧
We just released a new update that brings back the native Linux build (v35497).
We're still waiting for Steam to approve our Proton version of the game and after that we'll default to that version of the game. We strongly recommend Steam Deck/Linux players use Proton (specifically the Proton Hotfix version), as it offers better stability and performance for most setups.
💡 Cerebral Puzzle Showcase
Escape Simulator is part of the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase. For a limited time, the base game is 40% off and all DLCs are 20% off. If you’ve been waiting to complete your collection, now’s a great time.
