TV show fans will still recognise the basic plot points, characters and iconic locations the opening level is set in the Memorial Hospital where Rick awakes from his coma into the new post-apocalyptic undead world. The Escapist: The Walking Dead’s story follows a condensed version of the original comic book series rather than the AMC television show.


It’s a fun under-the-radar title currently only available on PC and Xbox One, and will appeal to fans of the original and those who love The Walking Dead comics, resource management and survival simulation. Assuming the role of series protagonist Rick Grimes, you’re tasked with leading survivors out of five areas of puzzles, zombies and human threats, using a fun crafting system out of loot you scavenge and completing light RPG-like tasks to level up and keep the group alive. The Escapists: The Walking Dead is a standalone mash-up of 8-bit indie puzzle role-playing game The Escapists, mixed with popular comic book series The Walking Dead.
