ESCAPE

Multiplayer Loot Extraction Shooter built with the Hytopia SDK and developed openly by SQWARE.

What is an extraction shooter?

Extraction shooters are session-based games focused on high-stakes risk and reward.

Deploy: Enter a shared map with other players.
Scavenge: Search for weapons, consumables, and rare items.
Decide: Push deeper for better loot or head to an extraction point to bank what you’ve found.
Extract: Reach extraction zones and survive the timer to secure your inventory.
Consequences: If you die, you lose what you brought and what you found during the run.
Meta progression: Grow your stash, improve loadouts, unlock crafting, traders, and quests between raids.

This loop creates meaningful tension: every decision trades risk for potential reward.

Tactical PvPvE: Read audio/visual cues, manage recoil and resources, and adapt to threats.
Economy that matters: Items have practical value; scarcity and loadout choices impact each raid.
Persistent progression: Account-level stash, reputation, and crafting systems survive between sessions.
Fair competitive design: No pay-to-win. Skill, knowledge, and teamwork drive success.

Engine/SDK: Built on the Hytopia SDK.
Architecture: Clear separation of game logic, networking, persistence, and content pipelines for community contributions.

ESCAPE is open source and publicly developed.
