We’ve just released a fresh update for Escape Simulator 2!
This one focuses on improving stability, fixing level issues, and polishing both the base game and the Room Editor. Multiplayer interactions are now much smoother, performance is better on lower-end PCs, and we’ve done some early winter cleaning in the lobby – goodbye pumpkins, see you next year!
The Room Editor also got a big round of improvements, from fixing memory leaks to better undo/redo behavior, more reliable scripts, and a bunch of small but important quality-of-life tweaks. Thank you Builders for helping us!
🏆 Build-a-Room Competition Update
The Build-a-Room competition is still live!
Due to popular demand, we’ve decided to extend the submission deadline by one week, from November 10th to November 17th.
We can’t wait to see what amazing rooms you’ll create!
