Escape From The Crypt

About Escape From The Crypt

Escape From The Crypt drops you into a crypt and challenges you to flee one room after another before the necromancers catch you. The necromancers move faster than your character does, but they will not sidestep obstacles — that asymmetry is the heart of every puzzle. Several scenes show dark gray brickwork running along the top interior edge of the rooms. Deep square pits with light gray stone borders are arranged in patterns across the dark gray floor in several views. A character dressed in a long red hooded robe and carrying a wooden staff appears across multiple scenes.

How to Play Escape From The Crypt: Trick Necromancers into Dead Ends

The goal is to escape each room while luring the necromancers into dead ends. Because they move faster than you but refuse to navigate around obstacles, the rooms themselves become your best tool — position yourself so the necromancers run straight into traps rather than reaching you.
