What is Means of Escape?
In the not-too-distant future CEOs, VIPs, and other corporate bigwigs have invested in specially designed suits called the “Means of Escape” (MOE) suit. The idea of this suit is to immediately get the wearer out of danger as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, under certain circumstances, the suit can into a “premature evacuation” mode whereby the suit immediately tries to “rescue” the inhabitant from non-detrimental dangers by throwing him or her into danger.
Developed using Epic’s Unreal Development Kit, Means of Escape is a forward-planning puzzle platformer. Rather than control the MOE suit in the traditional platforming sense, players must place actions for the suit to perform in advance, dropping markers to jump, slide, and shoot rockets throughout the environment.
Premature Evacuation, the first episode of Means of Escape, puts players in the Intelligence Ltd. Offices and the surrounding area of high rises and office buildings.
